South Korea Halts Flights for Crucial University Entrance Exam

Imagine a super important test that almost everyone in South Korea has to take to get into college.

It's so important that the whole country helps out!

For a short time, all the airplanes are stopped from taking off or landing so the students can hear the English listening part of the test.

Even offices and markets open an hour later to make sure the students aren't late.

This test lasts for nine hours and is a big deal for their future jobs and lives in their very competitive country.

This year, more students than usual took the test, with many born in 2007 when having a baby was considered lucky.

The test is a huge goal for students and a significant new start for them.
