Sitting exams becomes pet subject for students

Students from the Chinese mainland are known for their rich experience in sitting exams, and Zhao, 17, is no exception.

But what sets this student at the High School Attached to Capital Normal University in Beijing apart from millions of his peers is that he is a veteran of a United States exam, the Scholastic Assessment Test.

Zhao, who only gave his surname, is busy preparing to sit the test - a standardized US college admissions exam - for the fourth time, in December.
