National exam snapshots

   THE parents of more than 9 million Chinese students peered out from behind iron railing outside every examination site around the country, watching, wondering and hoping for a cheerful ending for their children in the largest two-day college entrance test in the world which started Tuesday.

    To allow the students to go about their task in peace, construction sites across the country were ordered to suspend work at night and at noon on the two days of the exam.

    Outside a school in Beijing’s Chaoyang district, two police cars blocked the street to prevent drivers from distracting examinees by honking car horns. Outside the school gate, parents occupied every patch of shade.

    In Nancheng County in East China’s Jiangxi Province, where 166 mm of rain fell Monday, the local government has spent more than 100,000 yuan (US$15,400) on an electricity generator.

    “If thunderstorms disrupt our power supply, we must ensure that the listening part of the English exam can still be held,” said Yang Ruichun, a county publicity official.

    More than 9.3 million students took the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) this year. For most, failure means they will have to wait another year to take the test again.

    In the past, students who failed the exam had a year to prepare to take it again. But rather than come back for another attempt, many were now choosing to study in other countries, which opens business opportunities for companies that help students attend colleges overseas.
