EBS 다큐 공부의 배신 1부_명문대는 누가 가는가

Real effort

never

betrays me

this is what we have been taught

we want to believe this is true

but we soon realize that
this is not true

at a very young age

no matter how much
we study our textbooks

and how long
we sit in front of our desks

getting in to universities

particularly prestigious universities
is not an easy task

people say it is because
we did not try hard enough

then how hard do we have to try

to get into
a prestigious university?

who enters
a prestigious university?

it is 2AM in the morning

This girl cannot afford to go to sleep

because she knows

as soon as she lets go of her pen

other students will get ahead of her

she always has a stopwatch beside her

to stay alert

every moment
is an exam period

for students preparing
college entrance exams

I study more than 10 hours
a day just for my GPA

I memorize the textbook
from cover to cover

take notes
on another piece of paper

keep writing until I can
write them without looking

if not I just can't bear it

she memorized until she
can write without looking

and solved countless
questions on workbooks

those long hours of study

only left finger pain
for this 16-year-old girl

sometimes I write on
20 to 30 sheets of paper

so my finger hurts a lot

During the exam period

I use a rubber band
to tie a pen to my hand

if not I can't write because

my hand is too weak to grip a pen

if I use a rubber band

even if my hand is weak

I can still write with my wrist

she is not the only 9th grader

awake until late at night

students take videos of
themselves studying

and share with others
in real-time

nothing is more motivating than

seeing for themselves
how others are doing

in the daily changing
schedule book there are

lists of study materials
that need to be covered
