"If you screw up today, your life loses alot of its meaning" - that's the view of Dr Se-Woong Koo, who experienced Korea's brutal examination system as a child. After immigrating to Canada, he's back living in Seoul and has a very critical opinion of the annual College Scholastic Ability Test, a make-or-break exam for Korean students who spend more than a decade preparing for the ultra-competitive university application process.
