Under reform plan for college admissions, students can try more than once a year

Li Yao had never really entertained the idea of going to a "cram school" until he failed to get the required test results for college admission.

A cram school is for students who were not admitted to their first-choice universities in gaokao, China's college entrance exam, which is held once a year. They spend a year at the school, preparing for next year's gaokao.
