The education ministry on Monday ordered a review of how the nation's unified college entrance exams are managed after delays and slipups affected more than 4,500 test-takers over the weekend.
According to the National Center for University Entrance Examinations, which administers the tests, examinees across the nation faced various problems ranging from noisy heating systems and improper handling of tests, to IC recorder shortages that hampered the execution of English listening tests.
The technical errors caused delays of up to 40 minutes at 58 test sites, NCUEE said.
