High school students prepare to take their college entrance examination at an exam room in Gwangju, about 329 km (204 miles) south of Seoul November 10, 2011. About 690,000 students sat on Thursday for the annual exams that could lead them to one of the country's top universities and eventually a good job for life. In South Korea there is no higher achievement than to be accepted by a prestigious university. As a result, many students prepare for these entrance exams from an early age, often studying up to 16 hours a day for years to take these tests.
