A group of South Korean students are suing the government because their college admission examination ended 90 seconds earlier than scheduled.
They are asking for 20 million won ($15,400; £12,000) each - the cost of a year's studying to retake the exam.
The error affected the rest of the students' exams, their lawyer says.
The country's infamous college admission test, known as Suneung, is an eight-hour marathon with back-to-back papers in multiple subjects.
The Suneung is one of the hardest exams in the world and stakes are very high.
