Teachers at Shaanxi Sanhe College in Baoji city of northwest China's Shaanxi province believe that making students sit exams outside of the classroom will help prevent cheating. 3,800 students sat for three exams at the sports ground, with each test involving more than 1,200 students and 80 invigilators. Supervisors kept an eye on the students and also used HD cameras, binoculars and ladders for an overview. This is the 10th year that the exams have been held outside the classroom.

Spectators wearing roller blades and dressed as 'Zwarte Piet' or 'Black Pete' wave as they see Sinterklaas or Sain Nicholas (not on picture) on his barge in Amsterdam, on November 16, 2014. The figure of Black Pete, the traditional black-faced companion of Saint Nicolas during the Sinterklaas or Saint Nicolas festival celebrated on the evening of December 5, has become the subject of much controversy in recent years as some people believe it to be a racist caricature. The character first appeared in its current form in an 1850 book by Jan Schenkman and is commonly depicted as a blackamoor from Spain. (credit:BART MAAT via Getty Images)

Police detain an anti-Black Pete demonstrator as Saint Nicholas arrived in the historic city of Gouda, Netherlands, Saturday, Nov. 15, 2014. Black Petes, the traditional black-faced sidekicks of Sinterklaas, the Dutch version of Santa Claus, walked side-by-side with yellow-colored "Cheese Petes" and "cookie Petes," a nod to the city's most famous products, but also a concession to critics of the traditional Black Petes. Ever more, the children's fairy tale that has delighted kids for generations is being framed as a very politicized debate in the Netherlands, where discussion about the place in society of immigrants has simmered for years.
