Failure is not an option

In the article, " Failure Is Not An Option", they discuss how important China's college entrance exam is.

In order to get into college and or university in China, you would have to take a nine hour exam , and you must pass it so that from high school you go to college. If you do not pass that exam then you would have to wait another year to take the exam again.

Out of 9,000,000 students in china, only 3 or 4 students are able to continue onto college.

I think that it is not far that all of them students worked their way through high school and are excited to go to college and then have to take an additional test that is going to take for ever to do. This could cause depression on students because they would be studying day and night, 24/7.

The article also stated that the test does not just determine weather you move on to college or a university but it also determines a selection that has a huge influence on career prospects. So now by the students knowing that, they would be more disappointed because their dream career would be on hold for another year if they don't pass the exam.

I think that the test should be a little bit shorter than 9 hours because , the reason the students might be not passing is because they are getting tired. I also think that they should they should be able to at least know what questions they got wrong so that they can know what to really study on.
