Like a lot of countries in Asia, the GRE bug has bitten South Korea as well. The country like most others, has tried to get best people to coach and council the students. Every resource that can be found online can be used as like any other country.
Challenges: So, while the South Koreans are creating their mark, what are the hurdles that students face on their GRE journey? The barrier of language prevails here too. Many students all over South Korea have been known to take additional language classes and work on apps such as Duolingo and Memrise to make up for their English speaking skills.
Another major challenge that South Korean GRE aspirants face is lack of financing for the underprivileged GRE enthusiasts. Just like other countries, financing in South Korea has come to the rescue of students but a lot can be done, still. Despite the heavy loans, a lot of young students see GRE as their ticket to the outside world. A place, which will provide them with pay packages that, will ease the burden of their education loan. While considered a big risk test, GRE opens previously closed avenues such as getting a chance to see the rest of the world, earn in a stronger economy and be able to work with really bright minds.
