What are some minor tradition/trend around the biggest exam in your country (if there is one)?

Every exam, they give out a mechanical pencil with a unique colour every year. There's minor obsession around them, with news articles discussing this year's pencil design and colour. People like to collect them, though I haven't seen a person with more than 4 IRL.

Whoops, I forgot to mention that. It's Korea, and the exam is the one you take to enter a university.
