Candidates practice dance before they take art exams at the Shandong University of Arts in Jinan, capital of Shandong Province, February 24, 2018. The art college exams are taking place around China. The exams evaluate skills such as painting, dancing and singing. They must be taken in addition to the regular college entrance exams, but carry far greater weight in qualifying for art schools.
