University entrance exams are approaching for 12th graders nationwide, and if the kids thought they had any chance of forgetting their impending doom for but a fleeting second, they had better think again.

Teachers of Le Quy Don High school in the southern province of Dong Nai have decided to cover the stairs of the school with formulae used in maths, chemistry and biology.

Though it may seem like a form of torture to some, the teacher’s goal is supposedly to help the students learn the formulae better.

These helpful teachers weren’t finished though, and painted a helpful reminder about how many calories a student burns by walking up each step.

This has to be doubly painful for any slightly pudgy kids prepping for exams, constant reminders that you need to study more and lose weight!— VNS
