Chapter 90 Skip-Grade Assessment
The first exam was Chinese. Everything else went well, but the essay took a lot of time. After Gu Yin finished writing, she had half an hour left to answer questions. Gu Yin checked her work, found that there were no blanks, and filled in her personal information. After packing up her tools, she handed in her paper and left early.
The students in the classroom who were still struggling with their essays became a little anxious when they saw how quickly she did it.
The teacher tapped on the desk: "Quiet down, answer the questions carefully. You have half an hour left. If you've finished, check your work carefully. If you really have nothing to do, you can hand in your paper and leave early."
The classroom fell silent again.
Gu Yin ran quickly to the director's office after leaving the examination room. The director of teaching had his own separate office. When Gu Yin arrived, the Chinese teacher of the second-year experimental class, as well as Wang Shumei and the director of teaching were inside.
"You're here? The test paper is here. You can only leave after you finish writing it. We discussed it, and you only need to write a framework for the essay. This will save you some time for your afternoon nap." After saying this, the head of the teaching department placed the test paper on the empty table that had been prepared in advance, indicating that Gu Yin should begin.
Gu Yin nodded, took the test paper, sat down, and began to write.
When her eighth-grade teacher saw her writing classical Chinese translations, filling in blanks in ancient poems, and reciting passages from the textbook, she completed all of these questions in one go without pausing, and with a 100% accuracy rate.
It seems she has indeed thoroughly studied the eighth-grade textbook.
Wang Shumei watched for a while, and seeing that she was indeed confident, she sat down to wait with peace of mind.
When Gu Yin first came to her and said she wanted to skip a grade, Wang Shumei thought she was joking. Later, Gu Yin's parents also called and said they supported Gu Yin skipping a grade. Wang Shumei was stunned. Her first thought was whether Gu Yin was arrogant and complacent? Did she think that the second year of junior high school would be easy just because she did well in the first year?
She painstakingly explained the seriousness of the situation, becoming extremely anxious herself, but Gu Yin remained unmoved and even proposed to take the second-year junior high school exam. In the end, having no other choice, she went to the headmaster, who surprisingly approved her, leading to the scene we see today.
"I'm done writing." Since she didn't have to write an essay, she saved a lot of time. Chinese was the easiest subject. She had a good sense of language and had read so many extracurricular books. Even in her past life, she liked to read some classics. If it weren't for the ancient poems and some parts that needed to be memorized in the second year of junior high, she wouldn't have been bad at Chinese even if she hadn't read the second-year books.
The eighth-grade teacher took the test paper and started grading it on the spot. The basic questions, multiple choice questions, true and false questions, and the memorization and recitation were all correct, and the reading comprehension was also fine. After grading for a while, the teacher stopped.
Wang Shumei's heart skipped a beat, and she asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
The eighth-grade teacher smiled and continued writing: "Your student is more experienced than I thought. The answers to these reading comprehension passages are all in the same pattern, almost identical to the correct answers."
"I didn't tell her the answers! Besides, I don't know your eighth-grade exam papers!" Wang Shumei hurriedly explained in a panic, afraid that she would accuse Gu Yin of cheating!
The teacher sighed helplessly, "What nonsense are you thinking? I meant that Gu Yin has figured out the answering methods for reading comprehension very thoroughly! They're not much different from ours!"
Gu Yin rubbed her nose. It's just about connecting the context, summarizing the main idea, highlighting the theme, the role of the scenery description, and the role of the title. Often, the answer to many questions is in the first or last paragraph, or the first or last sentence of each paragraph. After reading the article a few times, you can roughly understand what the author wants to express.
Reading comprehension is basically like this; no matter how it changes, the underlying principles remain the same.
After reviewing the essay outline, the eighth-grade teacher handed the test paper to the headmaster and said with a smile, "You did very well on the Chinese test; your level is very high."
After reading it, the head of the teaching department smiled and nodded: "Your handwriting is very good, but don't be arrogant. I heard that your English is also very good, so you probably don't need to worry about English. But math, physics and chemistry are subjects that you can't master by self-study. If you don't do well in these three subjects, even if you get full marks in other subjects, you will still have to study in the second year of junior high school in an honest manner."
Gu Yin smiled and nodded: "No problem, Director."
"Okay, go eat first! Come back here to answer questions after the exam this afternoon, but if you go to the cafeteria now, there might not be any food left?"
"My mom knows I don't have much time these days, so she's been bringing me lunch and dinner every day. Don't worry, I'll go eat now." Gu Yin checked the time; it was already one o'clock. The cafeteria windows had long been closed, and her mother should already be waiting for her at the school gate.
When Gu Yin came downstairs, the campus was already very quiet, with hardly anyone around. They were probably either going home or taking a nap.
As I walked to the school gate, I saw Li Mengxin and Gu Le there.
Seeing Gu Yin come out, Li Mengxin stood up and said with a smile, "Are you hungry? The food is still warm, just right, eat up!"
Gu Yin took the lunchbox and looked at the two of them: "Have you eaten yet? If not, eat together?"
Li Mengxin shook her head: "You eat! After you finish eating, I'll take your brother to eat on the street. Your aunt has already prepared it! Ale's exam isn't until 3 PM, so he's not in a hurry."
Yes, elementary school students also had their final exams today. They were on holiday after the exams this afternoon, as they only had two subjects to take.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin fed him while eating, and Gu Le was happy to oblige.
Since there was plenty of food, Li Mengxin didn't say anything.
"How did the exams go in the second year of junior high? Were they difficult?" Although she had confidence in her daughter, she still had to ask the questions she needed to.
"No problem, it's very simple! Don't worry!"
Gu Le nodded repeatedly: "My sister is amazing! Don't worry, Mom!"
Li Mengxin smiled and pinched his chubby little face: "Alright, alright, she's smart! But you don't need to be like your sister. Just take it one step at a time, okay?"
Although Gu Le has the ability to skip grades, he won't. In his previous life, Chu Yan rescued him and later had students from a prestigious university teach him. He also took the adult college entrance examination and was admitted to his ideal university. Elementary school knowledge is a piece of cake for him. Now, he mainly wants to be with his family and grow up healthily.
"I'm not jumping anymore, I'm not as smart as my older sister, she's the smartest!" she said, swinging her legs like a little kid.
Gu Yin laughed upon seeing this.
After finishing her meal, Gu Yin still had some time, so she went back to her dormitory to rest for a while. As for her skipping a grade, no one except her family and teachers knew about it. When she returned, Zhao Xiaomin didn't ask any questions, assuming that she had gone home for lunch.
