Koreans place a HUGE level of importance on tests. Once a year Koreans prepare to take the College Scholastic Ability Test which is like a super-SAT. How good you do on the test has huge implications on your future.
If you want to try to take a test the Korean way, you will have to:
1. Don’t eat seaweed soup (you’ll slip up on the test)
2. Not wash your hair (it’ll wash out your memory)
3. Ask everyone to go to work one hour later to clear the streets so you can calmly arrive at your test taking facility.
4. Ask drivers not to honk near schools
5. Stop all (commercial and military) takeoffs and landings during any listening exam
6. Ask underclassmen to basically be cheerleaders for the seniors (see picture above).
7. Send all the mothers to their churches to pray
