At least 39 South Korean students are suing the government after their college admission exam ended 90 seconds ahead of schedule.

The country’s college admission examination, known as Suneung, consists of an eight-hour marathon with back-to-back papers.

According to the lawsuit, the bell rang earlier than scheduled in an exam center in Seoul, during the first subject of the exam.

The students are asking for 20 million won (USD15,400) each, the cost of a year’s worth of studying to retake the exam.
