Big test day

Today in China is a very important big test day, 10 years ago I was in this test too. 10 years!! so long ago! It was for the university entrance test,every high school graduate will attend this test ( when you are about 18yo).
Well this test is in July for a long time and lately changed into June,because the weather is pretty hot in July and also because of the stress,lots of students fainted during the test... Well , I say it is test maybe better say it is a battle, and I was the soldier and together with all the other students we were fight with all the difficult tests. Normally it last 3 days and incluiding Chinese,Maths,English plus 2 others things( you can choose from the combination of chinese&world history and politic or physics and chemistry).
I am not very good at physics, then I had history and politic. For this test,preparation time is about 1 year, it was really a hard year!
Ok,maybe this is not easy to imagine for students from other countries. But China is like such education system that we had so big and important test every year.
