• Only Entrance Test: The Gaokao exam is the only exam to decide university admission in China. If students score well, then only they'll get good colleges.
• Intense Competition:  Each year millions of chinese students compete for limited spots in top universities. The extreme pressure to perform impressively in the Gaokao exam pushes students to a high level of stress and anxiety.
