Zhou Chen had just returned to his room a short while ago,
There was a knock on the door, and Li Kaile went to open it out of curiosity. He was greatly surprised to see several top-ranking girls in the class standing in front of him.
"We're looking for Zhou Chen, could you please call him?"
Upon hearing this, Li Kaile immediately helped to convey the message.
"Is there something you need?"
Zhou Chen was puzzled as the class monitor, academic representative, and subject representatives all came together.
The girls exchanged glances, and finally, the class monitor said somewhat shyly, "We'd like to compare our answers with yours for today's college entrance exam, is that alright?"
oh?
Oh, so that's what it was about.
Zhou Chen suddenly realized that after the exam, many students would compare their answers to determine whether they were correct or not. As for why these top students in the class would take the initiative to compare their answers with his, it was because he was a good student.
"sure."
Zhou Chen smiled calmly and nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, the girls' faces lit up with joy.
To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Zhou Chen and several female classmates began discussing today's college entrance examination answers in the corridor.
"Zhou Chen, there is an inscribed regular hexagonal pyramid P-ABCDEF inside a hemisphere with a radius of 2. What is the lateral surface area of this hexagonal pyramid?"
“
"
Zhou Chen: "It is obvious that the circumcircle of the ground of the regular hexagonal pyramid P-ABCDEF is a great circle of the sphere. Therefore, the ground side is 2. According to the question, the height of the hexagonal pyramid is 2. Therefore, the lateral surface area is 2. So, the answer to this question is D."
"Regarding the problem about the square pyramid, the answer to the false proposition is..."
Zhou Chen: "This question isn't difficult. First, because all four lateral edges of an isosceles pyramid are equal, the projection of its vertex onto the base is equidistant from the four vertices of the base. Therefore, options A and C are correct. There must be a point on its altitude that..."
Zhou Chen provided detailed answers to all the questions posed by the female classmates. Some were happy to hear Zhou Chen's answers, while others were sad.
"Brother Chen, I'm doomed. I don't think I got any of the answers you gave right."
Li Kaile's long face made the two female classmates who had answered incorrectly burst into laughter.
"Isn't it normal that you didn't answer correctly? It would be strange if you answered correctly."
"Class monitor, if you say that, it will hurt my young heart."
"If you were injured, you would have been riddled with holes by now, having failed so many mock exams and ranked last in the class."
At this point, everyone else couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Li Kaile scratched his head awkwardly.
Seeing Zhou Chen also smirking, Li Kaile looked annoyed.
"Zhou Chen, thank you for telling us the correct answer. We won't bother you anymore."
Okay, good luck tomorrow.
Zhou Chen nodded.
"Brother Chen, you're such a good student, do you have any test-taking tips to help me get a few more points tomorrow? I don't need to go to university, but I don't want to be at the bottom of the class again."
Li Kaile said pitifully, clearly having just been hurt by a female classmate and wanting to save face.
"As for techniques, yes, there are."
Zhou Chen stroked his chin, and a set of test-taking tips came to mind. This set of tips was indeed effective in exams, and back then, it was highly praised and regarded as the golden rule by many people.
"Really? Brother Chen, then please teach me quickly."
Li Kaile had only asked casually and hadn't held out much hope, but he didn't expect Zhou Chen to actually have such skill.
The class monitor, academic representative, and others who were about to leave stopped in their tracks upon hearing this and showed expressions of curiosity.
Zhou Chen was a formidable student who once ranked first in the city. After only a few months of repeating the year, he rose from outside the top 200 to first place and remained there ever since. If they could know Zhou Chen's test-taking techniques, it would be like obtaining a martial arts manual, greatly enhancing their skills. This is especially important in the current college entrance examination.
"Squad leader, why aren't you going back?"
Seeing that the group was listening intently and didn't want to miss anything, Li Kaile immediately retaliated by asking them questions he already knew the answers to.
"We want to hear Zhou Chen's test-taking techniques."
Although the class monitor was a little embarrassed, he was determined not to miss out and asked frankly if he wanted to know more.
"Class monitor, you all study so well, you don't need that."
"we need to."
As soon as Li Kaile finished speaking, several girls spoke in unison.
Zhou Chen, watching from the side, couldn't help but chuckle. He suggested that if the others were willing to listen, they could write it down, which would at least be a good option when they encountered questions they didn't know how to answer.
Seeing that Zhou Chen agreed, the girls' eyes lit up.
"This test-taking technique of mine is used for multiple-choice questions that I don't know the answers to, but of course, it applies to all subjects."
As soon as Zhou Chen spoke, the others were immediately filled with curiosity. What kind of test-taking technique could be used in all subjects?
With everyone eagerly anticipating his answer, Zhou Chen didn't keep them in suspense and slowly revealed his all-purpose quiz-answering secret.
"Secret #1: Choose the shortest among three long options. As the name suggests, when we encounter a question with three long options and one short option, we should directly choose the shortest option."
"Secret number two: when there are three short options and one long option, choose the longest one. Similarly, when you encounter a sorting option with three short options and one long option, directly lock in the longest option."
"Secret number three: if two are long and two are short, choose B; if they are uneven, choose C..."
After hearing Zhou Chen's answering techniques, Li Kaile and the others looked at each other in disbelief, never expecting that such an answer could be given.
This must be a confusing answer, right?
"These answering techniques are not absolutely accurate; they only increase our chances of guessing the right answer. Of course, this method only applies to questions we don't know the answer to."
Zhou Chen explained.
"Brother Chen, how did you come up with that conclusion?" Li Kaile asked curiously, as he had never heard of this guessing method before.
Zhou Chen smiled, glanced at the curious crowd, and said, "Nothing special, just how skilled you are."
The class monitor and a few other girls were slightly taken aback, and then looked at Zhou Chen with even more admiration. Of course, they understood what Zhou Chen meant. The reason he was able to come up with these answering techniques was because he had done a lot of practice problems. Thinking about themselves, they had also done a lot of problems, but they had never thought about these kinds of techniques.
Is this the difference between him and Zhou Chen?
Several female classmates then realized that the difference between them and Zhou Chen was not simply a matter of high or low scores, but rather a difference in their thinking. While they were pondering how to solve the difficult problems, Zhou Chen had already begun to summarize the patterns.
Compared to Zhou Chen, they felt they didn't deserve to be called top students.
At least, in front of Zhou Chen, they have no right to do so.
Zhou Chen is the real academic star.
"Zhou Chen, thank you for telling us these tips."
After the female students thanked them collectively, they really turned around and left, returning to their respective rooms.
Zhou Chen and Li Kaile also turned around and went back to their room.
Not long after,
The news that several people were discussing the answers to the college entrance examination questions with Zhou Chen spread in the group, sparking a discussion.
