Chapter 294: First Place in the Provincial Chemistry Preliminary Round!
In late April, the weather in Jiang City gradually warmed up.
The students on the school path had already taken off their thick coats and put on thin long-sleeved school uniforms.
April 19th, sunny, Saturday.
"Check your documents one last time! Once everything is in order, go into the exam room! Stay calm while answering the questions! Don't panic if you encounter a question you don't know! Believe in yourself; if you don't know it, no one else does either! Only after you finish this exam will you receive the entry ticket to the provincial team! Stay calm and careful! Do you understand?!"
The chemistry teacher stood at the entrance of Jianggao Affiliated High School with a megaphone, giving instructions to the twenty-odd students who had come to participate in the competition.
The preliminary round questions are set by each province, testing only theory and not experiments. The content is mostly based on college entrance exam questions with added difficulty, as well as a small number of competition questions. It mainly tests your usual accumulation of knowledge and the amount of practice questions you've done! If you can't even achieve this, then you can forget about the later rounds.
After checking her documents and saying goodbye to her teacher, Gu Yin entered the examination room.
There were more than 30 people in the examination room. Gu Yin glanced around and found that there were only a few students from Jiang Gao High School, and the rest were all students from other schools.
Gu Yin didn't look at it much. After finding her seat, she sat down and waited for the teacher to distribute the test papers.
001 took some time to post the task.
"Main quest: Win first prize, reward 4 points! Side quest: Get first place in the province, reward one lottery draw! Good luck, host!"
Gu Yin looked at the side quest, a lottery, and started to look forward to it.
After the exam papers were handed out, Gu Yin glanced at them. The exam lasted 2 hours, with a total score of 100 points. Multiple choice questions accounted for 60 points, the last question was a problem-solving question worth 8 points, and the rest were fill-in-the-blank questions, totaling 32 points.
The preliminary round was a piece of cake for Gu Yin; she had done many of the question types before, and in fact, she had done them so many times that she was exhausted from them.
Some don't even need to calculate; after looking at the question and the answer, they already know which one to choose.
Gu Yin originally thought the most difficult question on the entire test paper was the last one, but after she finished all of them, she realized that the last question was only slightly more difficult than the previous college entrance examination questions. So the difficult questions on this test paper were in the fill-in-the-blank questions.
This is interesting. Many people have the habit of starting from the beginning when doing questions. Some people think that if they can't do the questions in the middle, then they don't need to think about the questions at the end. This group of people will likely lose the points for the last question. They waste all their time on the questions in the middle, so they don't have time to look at the questions at the end.
After finishing, Gu Yin checked her work three more times, then spaced out for a while. When the proctor repeatedly reminded her to check carefully and looked at her several times, Gu Yin saw that there was still half an hour left, so she handed in her paper and left early.
When she arrived at the school gate, teachers from other schools saw her come out early and were all speechless.
In their view, anyone who can leave the competition early must have already given up!
The chemistry teacher also saw Gu Yin come out. He wasn't worried about anything. If he was going to worry, he would worry about it during the finals. This preliminary round was really a piece of cake for Gu Yin.
"How difficult was the exam?" When the chemistry teacher asked Gu Yin, the others also gathered around.
Gu Yin said frankly, "It's not difficult, but there are some traps. Careless people may lose a lot of points."
Of course, the lack of difficulty is only true for Gu Yin herself; others, however, cannot understand it.
After Gu Yin finished speaking, some teachers from other schools seemed thoughtful, some were disdainful, and some frowned.
Gu Yin didn't care about anything else and got on her school bus. She planned to wait for the others to come out before going back together.
We'll know the answers about a week after the exam, and the spots are expected to be released around May Day, so there's still a long wait.
With nothing else to do, Gu Yin wrote down her answers. Everyone would definitely want to compare answers later, so she took advantage of the free time to write hers first.
Half an hour later, students came out of the school one after another. After the students from Jianggao got on the bus, they all surrounded Gu Yin when they saw her.
"I saw you handed in your paper early. Shall we check our answers?" a female classmate asked Gu Yin.
Gu Yin nodded and handed her the A4 paper: "I came back early, so I wrote it down from memory first. You can check it against each other."
"Let me see, let me see!" The female classmate took it and started comparing it with the pen. She ticked off the ones that matched. After checking them all, the female classmate hugged Gu Yin with wide eyes.
"Aaaaaah! All the multiple-choice questions are the same! The answers to the essay questions are the same! Only two fill-in-the-blank questions are different! Those two questions are worth 8 points! That means I'm guaranteed 92 points! Aaaaah!"
What does this mean? It means that she's a shoo-in for second prize, and she might even win first prize!
Gu Yin felt a little dizzy from being shaken, and smiled as she helped her up: "My answer may not be right, don't be too happy yet."
"I don't care, I don't care! Yours is the standard answer!" The chemistry teacher often told them about Gu Yin, saying she was incredibly smart! Being so smart and handing in her paper early, she must have known how to do everything!
The other students also took the documents to check, and by the time they returned to school, all twenty-odd students had completed the check.
If Gu Yin's answer is taken as the correct answer, then all 25 students from their school who participated this time are very likely to make it to the preliminary round!
Because the person with the lowest score had 88 points!
The chemistry teacher couldn't stop smiling; his grin continued all the way into the school.
Back at school, the other students who were competing were able to relax for a while, but Gu Yin couldn't, because she had two competitions to participate in the preliminary exams in May, one a math competition and the other a biology competition!
While Gu Yin was working herself to the bone, the answers to the preliminary chemistry exam were published on the official website of the Z Province Education Department.
The chemistry teacher immediately took Gu Yin's previous answers and compared them with the actual answers, only to find that all of Gu Yin's answers were correct!
The cutoff scores were then released. First prize: 98 points; second prize: 92 points; third prize: 86 points.
"All of them advanced! Hahaha, all the students in our school advanced!" The chemistry teacher burst into laughter in his office!
The biology teacher, seeing his smug look, turned to Feng Jiangyue and asked, "Are you confident about next month's assessment?"
Feng Jiangyue also envied the chemistry teacher: "About ten, the others are a bit uncertain, what about you?"
The biology teacher's lips twitched: "I'm not sure. I feel like there will be more, but I also feel like there will be less than yours. Sigh, I envy Lao Meng! He took this exam first, and now he feels so relaxed. I still have more than ten days left for my exam, and it's making me nervous!"
Gu Yin was in the system library when 001 flew out.
"Host, this is the preliminary round. You've won first prize and ranked first in the entire province!"
