Ugh...

Our university is having our midterm tests, including listening tests, this week. This is also the day that they scheduled to drill holes in the wall next to our classrooms.

Does this happen at top unis, like Seoul National and Korea U?

Stupid.

I don't know about Korean universities; but in Canada, the never-ending construction at UVic meant jackhammers ripping up the concrete just outside classrooms in which I was writing 3-hour 'finals'. Aaaaaaaaaagh! Evil or Very Mad 'University' doesn't necessarily equal 'smart'... and its seems to be universal.

Ghandi's Way.

If the drilling happens during another listening test, smile beatifically and apologise to the students for the poor test conditions. Give everyone an A on the listening test and send them all home.

You might get away with it.
I wish I could say I couldn't believe the chaotic scheduling, I kind of feel your pain.
