She continues the exam & passes

According to TVBS, the staff revived her by applying pressure to her philtrum and the space between her thumb and index finger.

After regaining consciousness, she requested to continue the exam and ultimately passed it.

After taking some glucose, she chose to resume the test.

The incident sparked a wave of online discussions, with netizens expressing concerns about the woman’s ability to drive.
