In Spain we have a similar exam that all students must pass to access university, and where the grade decides which degrees you can study. It's also a pretty big deal, maybe not for everyone but at least for people who want to study degrees with high demand, like medicine.

We don't cut the internet.

South Korea and China have such things, although they don’t cut off the internet, they might restrict flights and driving during those times to cut down on noise and such. See https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2015/11/12/455708201/...
