Chapter 52 I want to take it easy, but they are useless!

Li Ye's final exam went well.

Because after the first exam, he went to find Teacher Luo and said that Director Yao was suspected of "poaching" people.

Tang Feiyu, the director of teaching at the No. 2 Middle School in the county, flew over on his bicycle.

Then he pulled Director Yao aside and laughed and talked about something, which disrupted his work as the invigilator and also prevented Li Ye from being annoyed by seeing him.

After the exams are over, the school will prepare for the holidays. We will just wait for the results to be announced and then go home with our report cards to find our mothers.

Students who do well in the exam will receive praise from their mothers and have a happy and joyful New Year.

It's hard to say what will happen to students who do poorly on the exam! The double punishment of mental and physical torture, whoever falls on it knows how it feels.

During the two days of waiting for the results to be announced, Li Ye saw several students crying.

Because after the exam, everyone has to check the questions. This thing doesn't get better and better. It only makes more mistakes and then finally collapses.

The boy, about eighteen or nineteen years old, cried like a child, which looked both sad and funny.

The students of this era are all simple-minded. In their lives, there is no King of Glory or Chicken Dinner to vent their emotions.

There are no action teachers who can distract their attention. Their only obsession is studying and taking exams. Once this obsession is shaken, they will experience great mental fluctuations.

In those days, it was not uncommon for people to suffer serious illnesses due to sudden changes in emotions, which led to mental trauma.

But the atmosphere within the small group of eight was quite good.

"I got all three questions right. If you don't believe me, take a look at the final answer I wrote down?"

"I got two of them right, but how come I got that one so wrong?"

"To sum it up, I got the answers right, but they were not written on the test paper. About 55 points."

"I got about 60 points. The estimated score after taking the written test into account is 360 points. This is impossible!"

"The questions this time are a bit simple. They should be deliberately made easier to boost our confidence."

Li Dayong, Hu Man and others were also checking the questions. Although they were not as incredible as Li Ye, who got almost all the questions right, they basically felt good, and some even couldn't believe it.

After all, if you get 360 points in the college entrance examination, you are guaranteed admission to a technical secondary school, so you can boldly apply for a technical secondary school.

However, after Li Ye carefully observed Xia Yue, Jin Shengli and others for two consecutive days, he had some different opinions.

"The questions in this exam should not be easy. Those people have been frowning for two days."

On the afternoon of the second day after the exam, Director Tang from the Teaching Department of the County No. 2 Middle School, the class teacher Ms. Luo, and several subject teachers went into the repeater class together.

Xia Yue hurriedly called the students in the front row to go to the back and squeeze on a bench with other classmates so that the teachers could sit down.

Director Tang went up to the podium and whispered to Xia Yue, "Go and call Zhuang Hongxing from Class 3."

Xia Yue hurriedly went to call, and soon she called a student with premature gray hair over and found a seat for him to sit down.

"Well, everyone is here! I'll tell you a few things now."

Director Tang said in a loud voice: "The ultimate goal of our county-wide joint examination this time is to test the potential strength of the students, so the questions this time are a bit difficult. Don't lose confidence just because of poor results."

Xia Yue, Jin Shengli and others under the podium looked much better immediately.

Hu Man, Han Xia, Fu Yingjie and others were whispering to each other and exchanging anxious glances.

Especially Jiang Xiaoyan, her face suddenly turned pale and she started sweating.

[Is the question difficult this time? Why is it difficult? No, it’s not too difficult! ]

"The reason why we are trying to find out the potential strengths of our classmates is to prepare for the college entrance examination application in a few months,"

Director Tang continued on the podium: "Everyone should know that each college has a limited number of admissions each year.

For example, last year, Beijing University enrolled more than 30 students in our province, and Beijing Foreign Studies University only enrolled more than 40 students.

"If everyone rushes to apply to the same school, it will only cause a collision.

Therefore, we will conduct multiple joint examinations in the future to thoroughly understand everyone’s true scores, negotiate and adjust with our sister schools, and make the best choice of volunteers.”

Li Ye understood that Director Tang wanted students with similar academic performance in the entire Qingshui County to stagger their choices as much as possible to increase their chances of being admitted to the college entrance examination.

Li Ye didn’t know whether this method was effective or not, but the way of filling out applications in the early 1980s was really weird.

It was not like in later generations, where the application was filled out after the results were released, or even after the exam, but it was filled out before the college entrance examination.

In other words, candidates have already filled out and submitted their college entrance examination applications before taking the exam, leaving you without even being able to estimate your scores.

This makes the admission of candidates full of serious uncertainty.

Some students performed exceptionally well and were successfully admitted with scores several tens of points higher than the admission score of the school they applied for.

Some students performed poorly and had to fail the exam, watching their classmates who were usually far inferior to them rise to the top and become successful.

Of course, there are also candidates who take chances, overestimate their abilities, or are timid and conservative, and waste points because of their hesitation.

In a word - just try your luck and you won't win.

For example, in the early 1980s, the college entrance examination scores of freshmen from Peking University and Tsinghua University varied by more than 100 points.

This means that students with 550 points and 450 points can both be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University. Do you think this is fair? This is a national unified examination!

The only basis for everyone's application is their usual academic performance ranking.

Under the current conditions, it is impossible to come up with a city-wide ranking.

That's why the No. 1 and No. 2 Middle Schools in the county jointly took the lead and wanted to come up with a county-wide ranking of academic performance so that everyone would have a better idea of ​​the situation.

"Ahem, be quiet for a moment. I will now announce the top 20 students in this exam."

"20th place: Yang Shugao, 271 points."

“Nineteenth.”

"11th place: Li Dayong, 294 points."

“.”

"Ninth place: Qi Meijuan, 301 points."

Xia Yue turned back three times and looked at Li Dayong.

In her opinion, Li Dayong was a student ranked outside the top 30 in the repeater class. Even if he could get high scores in a few subjects occasionally, his overall score should not be among the top 20.

Although Director Tang did not say it explicitly, these top 20 students are obviously the ones who need to "negotiate with sister schools to adjust their choices", that is, the students most likely to be admitted.

For those students ranked outside the top 20, there is little hope.

[Li Dayong scored 294 points, so how many points will Hu Man get? How many points will Wen Leyu get? ]

Xia Yue became worried. She looked towards Jin Shengli quietly and found that the study committee member of Class 1 was also looking at her nervously.

How many people in that small group of eight people who isolated themselves from the public have a chance to get into university?

Xia Yue knew that Hu Man was a good student, not to mention Wen Leyu, who could raise his score by 30 or 40 points in English alone.

As it stands now, at least three people from Li Ye's small group will enter the top 20, and two will enter the top 10.

How can this be?

【Fourth place: Xia Yue, 316 points. 】

When Director Tang read out Xia Yue's name, Xia Yue felt suddenly lost, and then a strong sense of unwillingness arose.

She has always believed that she should be the best in the county's No. 2 Middle School.

Although Jin Shengli seems to be a level higher than her, Jin Shengli has been repeating for the third year.

Lu Jingyao wrote to Xia Yue saying that students like Jin Shengli had already exhausted their potential and had little hope of further progress.

Only a freshman repeater like Xia Yue, who has college entrance examination experience, a solid foundation and great potential, is most likely to be admitted to university.

[Why am I fourth? Am I three places behind Kim Seungri? And I lost to Hu Man and Wen Leyu? ]

Xia Yue hunched over, lowered her head, and stared at her hands intently. She felt her nose getting sour, as if something was about to flow out of it.

If she lost to Jin Shengli, she could accept it, but she couldn't accept losing to Hu Man.

The two had a quarrel a while ago, and were so angry that they even cursed each other's parents and elders. Now that they lost to each other, it was a great shame and humiliation.

But just as Xia Yue had this thought in her mind, she heard Jin Shengli's name.

"Third place: Jin Shengli, 318 points."

This time, all the students in the class were shocked.

They all turned their heads and looked at Hu Man.

In the last placement test, Hu Man was transferred to Class 1 because she ranked first in Class 2.

The top two classes finally fought hand to hand. Is there a result?

Director Tang did not stop the chaos below the podium, but announced the last two names one after another.

"Second place: Zhuang Hongxing, 321 points."

"First place: Jiang Xiaoyan, 345 points."

The whole class was silent, and then completely excited.

"Who? Jiang Xiaoyan?"

"Jiang Xiaoyan is actually number one, how is this possible?"

"With 345 points, I can go to college or technical secondary school, right?"

"Bullshit, last year the junior college score of Zibo Normal University was only 335."

"Then she can get into college, right?"

"Not necessarily. She was not as good as us before. I guess she was fooled this time."

"Yes, it must be covered."

The students in the class were talking about it, but no one noticed Li Ye's fierce look.

Li Dayong was frightened by Li Ye's cold eyes, and twisted his bear-like body back and forth on the bench.

Finally, he came over and said with a flattering smile: "Brother, I didn't make the top ten."

Li Ye's eyes remained unchanged, but Li Dayong understood his eyes.

[Didn’t I repeatedly tell you to control your scores? Didn’t I tell you to take it easy? ]

Li Dayong's big round face was twisted into a knot, looking like he was crying and laughing at the same time.

"Brother, I almost swam into the Qingshui River, but who knows, they are useless!"
