The New York Times/Scholastic UpFront Magazine has an interesting article about China's "gaokao" college entrance exam.
Be sure to click the link on the bottom left of the magazine article to watch a 5 minute video which chronicles the efforts of Chinese high school students as they prepare for the exam, including one young man who says he studied "thirteen hours a day, 7 days a week for an entire year."
