Rebirth: Striving for a Better Life

At 32 years old, Chi Chan, single since birth, lived a struggling life, exhausted every day just to survive.

At 16 years old, Chi Chan was spirited and full of confidence, ready to enter a ne...

Chapter 12 The Hidden Talents of the City's No. 1 High School

Chi Chan also knew that she couldn't be impatient; learning was something that required sustained effort.

But after military training ends, there will be a placement test.

Time waits for no one, especially with the upcoming diagnostic test.

Chi Chan could only give it her all for now and then leave the rest to fate.

After the military training ended, everyone held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes. After reluctantly seeing off the instructors, they immediately threw themselves into the diagnostic test.

The No. 1 High School of the city has compressed nine exam subjects into two days, and the time allotted for each subject has also been shortened accordingly, but the number of questions has not been reduced at all, and there are even additional questions.

After two days of exams, Chi Chan felt dizzy.

She roughly recalled her exam performance and the discussion of the test questions by the top students in her class after the exam.

I knew I hadn't done very well on the test.

About 80% of the questions on the exam are basic questions, 20% are advanced questions, and the remaining 10% are bonus questions, which are even more difficult and are designed to differentiate students.

Chi Chan felt that she had no problem with most of the basic questions, and could answer about half of the advanced questions. As for the bonus questions, Chi Chan hadn't even had time to look at the questions.

Indeed, learning is not an easy thing!

Chi Chan had a hunch that her exam results this time might not be as good as in her previous life.

In her past life, she knew more advanced questions than she does now.

After the exams, we'll have a two-day holiday.

This is a rest period for students after military training, and also a time for teachers to grade exam papers.

Two days later, the intense high school life will officially begin.

Jiang Jingjing moved all her belongings out, leaving her bed completely empty.

Zhang Panli and Lin Chunni went home as soon as their vacation started.

Chi Chan was the only one left in the dormitory.

Chi Chan was happy to have some peace and quiet.

She is still engrossed in her studies.

The placement test is one thing, but more important is the upcoming high school studies.

Chi Chan must solidify her foundation from junior high school so that she can keep up with her studies in high school.

In her notebook, Chi Chan had already made detailed plans for her two-day holiday.

Accurate to the minute.

Despite her heavy workload, Chi Chan still set aside half a day.

She had more important things to do during that half-day.

Chi Chan inspected the condition of the buildings opposite the No. 1 Middle School in the city and visited nearby residential areas, as well as vegetable markets, wholesale markets, and other areas.

A plan gradually took shape in my mind.

The two-day holiday ended in the blink of an eye.

On Monday morning during self-study, Jiang Jiawen walked into the classroom and said, "The results of the diagnostic test are out!"

Then I went back to my office to prepare my lessons.

The first class on Monday is Chinese.

This sentence was like water droplets falling into a hot oil pan; the entire class was in an uproar, and no one could concentrate on studying anymore.

Everyone put down their textbooks to discuss the diagnostic test results, and Chi Chan felt extremely uncomfortable sitting in her seat.

But she suppressed her expectations and forced herself to start reading.

The results were already set in stone and nothing could be changed, so she couldn't afford to waste a single second of her remaining study time.

When the bell finally rang, the students dashed out like rockets, even more eager than if they were going to the cafeteria.

Chi Chan also ran as soon as get out of class ended, and by the time she got to the results bulletin board, it was already crowded with people.

"What should I do? I don't even dare to look at my grades!"

"Let me take a look for you—"

"Oh no, how could I have done so badly on the test!"

"Oh no! My parents are waiting for me to go home today to get my report card. If I get this score, I'm afraid I'm going to get a double beating, waaaaah—"

"..."

The surrounding classmates were talking about it, and Chi Chan couldn't help but feel nervous.

She knew her own level well, so she started looking at the rankings from the second half, and sure enough, she was right.

He quickly found his name.

Each subject has 10 bonus points, Chinese, Mathematics and English are each worth 120 points, and other subjects are each worth 100 points.

Total score: 1050 points.

Chi Chan ranked 1135th with 720 points.

Chi Chan was quite satisfied with her score, considering she had only picked up her junior high school knowledge in half a month.

The No. 1 Middle School of the city gathers the top students from all over the province, and the school is naturally very large. This year's first-year students number more than 2,300.

Chi Chan's ranking of 1135 is considered to be at a medium level.

In the middle and later rankings, everyone's scores were very close. Just the score of 720 meant that 7 people had the same score as Chi Chan.

Even the student who ranked last in the grade scored 620 points.

It should be noted that a small number of students at the No. 1 Middle School in the city scored one or two points lower than the school's cutoff score in the high school entrance exam.

This small group of students either had connections like Jiang Jingjing and got in through back channels, or they came from wealthy families and paid a hefty school construction fee to get in.

Chi Chan saw Jiang Jingjing's score: 876 points, 310th place, ahead of her.

In her past life, Xiaochi Chan scored 761 points, ranking over 890th.

O(╥﹏╥)o

With a long sigh, Chi Chan comforted herself.

Although the No. 1 High School of the city is full of hidden talents, there is still a long way to go, and she will surely become a part of it!

Wow—Ji Siyuan is in first place again!

A student exclaimed in surprise, the high-decibel sound piercing the eardrums of the cicada.

"What's so surprising about that? We went to the same junior high school, and he always topped the list in every exam. I'm used to it!"

Her classmates were not surprised.

"That's amazing! 1047 points, just 3 points away from a perfect score!"

Another female classmate stared at the top-ranked total score with starry eyes and her heart in her hands.

Upon hearing this, all the girls around them recovered from their disappointment at having done poorly on the test.
