A group of South Korean students are suing the government because their college admission examination ended 90 seconds earlier than scheduled, reports BBC.
They are asking for 20 million won ($15,400; £12,000) each - the cost of a year's studying to retake the exam.
According to their lawyer, the error affected the rest of the students' exams.The country's infamous college admission test, known as Suneung, is an eight-hour marathon with back-to-back papers in multiple subjects.
The Suneung is one of the hardest exams in the world and stakes are very high.
It not only determines university placements and jobs but even future relationships.
A number of measures to help students concentrate are taken during the annual event such as closing the country's airspace and delaying the opening of the stock market.
