Ji Xia followed Teacher Liu back to the classroom and found small groups of students arguing while looking at the answers on the blackboard: "I remember filling in this..."
Someone spotted Ji Xia and Teacher Liu and waved excitedly at them, calling out, "Teacher Liu, Ji Xia—"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up and saw Ji Xia, screaming excitedly.
Teacher Liu chuckled and nodded to Ji Xia: "Go back to your seat. They're checking their answers. Several copies of the answers have been made and handed out."
Ji Xia obediently returned to her seat. Yang Cuiqin put down her pen and said, "You're here. Come on, let's check the answers together and see how many points you got?"
Ji Xia looked up and saw that the blackboard was divided into several sections, with the answers to the test papers written densely, and many people were crowded in front of each answer.
Ji Xia turned to look at Yang Cuiqin: "So many people? Have you finished checking?"
Yang Cuiqin pushed the answers she had just copied: "These are my Chinese answers. Take a look and estimate your score while you're at it."
Ji Xia looked approvingly at the answers she copied. The first question was a fill-in-the-blank exercise worth twelve points, with twelve blanks to add missing characters to idioms, and she got them all right.
The second question is worth 15 points for humanities and 18 points for science. It involves correcting grammatical errors in six sentences, with each sentence worth 3 points. Reflecting on my answers, I realized I missed a detail in the last question, which will likely cost me one point…
The third section required students to write punctuation, explain, and translate classical Chinese texts. There were also three sub-questions, and the answers provided by humanities and science students differed slightly.
Liberal arts students answer two or three questions, for a total of 28 points. Ji Xia is a liberal arts student who knows classical Chinese texts by heart and understands the meaning of each word and sentence by heart. When they checked their answers, there was no difference between them.
Of these 28 points, at least 26 can be obtained: 12 points for the first major question, 13-14 points for the second major question, and 51 or 52 points for the third major question.
The final essay score is 40 points, with 15 points for content and 25 points for expression.
Ji Xia's writing skills are not bad, but the different styles of the teachers grading the papers will affect the score, so it all depends on luck.
However, the writing of a book review on the drawing egg is positive and healthy, so it should be worth at least 10 out of 15 points. The total score for expression is 25, so I estimate it to be between 10 and 20.
Therefore, the total score for Chinese is approximately 72 to 82 points, and it may be higher if the teacher likes her style.
The math answers were easier; there were standard answers. After checking them, if I remember correctly, I got at least 98 points.
Based on my scores in these two subjects, I'm guaranteed admission to the Academy of Fine Arts.
Physics and Chemistry are combined into one subject, with a total score of 100. This year, the Chemistry section is more difficult.
Coincidentally, among the test papers Ji Xia brought back were more than a dozen chemistry papers, and she had guessed several of the major questions correctly. A group of students who had done the papers and heard the teacher's explanations were so excited after checking their answers that they slammed their fists on the table.
Those students who didn't work hard or were lazy and didn't finish hung their heads in frustration, and some of the girls even had tears in their eyes.
Several students were still excitedly shouting, "Last time when Teacher Wang explained this problem, he scolded me, which I remember very well..."
Yang Cuiqin leaned closer to Ji Xia: "You've always been good at physics and chemistry. How's it going? Have you figured it out yet? How much?"
Ji Xia calculated the questions one by one, and finally calculated the total score: "If I remember correctly, it's about 92 to 94."
Politics is probably Ji Xia's weakest subject; her estimated score for the entire paper is only between 65 and 70.
Although his political science score wasn't great, his total score was still over 357.
As for the 50 points in English, that's a separate test and the total score isn't included in the college entrance exam score. Ji Xia didn't plan to apply for a foreign language major, so she didn't take English.
As soon as Ji Xia calculated the score, Yang Cuiqin screamed excitedly, "357? Ah—my God, this score is definitely in the bag!"
The noisy classroom fell silent instantly as everyone turned to look.
Someone excitedly asked, "How much?"
"Three hundred and fifty-seven, that's definitely the highest."
The classroom buzzed with discussion as a group of students began to chatter again. Teacher Liu walked up to her with a delighted expression: "Ji Xia, are you sure you didn't misremember? 357 points?"
Ji Xia nodded: "I roughly remember the content of the test papers from those two days. I should have scored around 350 points."
"Good, good. This score, even if it's not the highest in the province, will at least put us in the top five."
Teacher Liu nodded excitedly, "This time, the commune middle school should be able to get its revenge."
Ji Xia asked in a low voice, "Teacher Liu, how many students scored above 300 this year?"
When the grades were mentioned, Teacher Liu wrote Ji Xia's estimated score down in her notebook, chuckling softly, "Seven people have already scored over 300 points. If we take all the estimated scores, the commune middle school should have at least ten this year."
This result not only pleased the two directors and several high school teachers, but also made the principal nervous about the estimated scores of several key seeded players.
It's no wonder that the principal and teachers of the commune middle school were concerned.
For a school to gain the attention of the education bureau and receive more government funding, student performance is always a key factor.
This is the third year since the college entrance examination was reinstated. In the previous two years, only four students from the commune passed the exam, and the other three were educated youth sent to the countryside.
The commune middle school's college entrance examination results were almost the worst among all the middle schools in the city or even the county.
Not to mention comparing it to the No. 1 Middle School in the city or the No. 1 Middle School in the county, it even surpasses the middle schools in several communes.
This year, Ji Xia brought back review materials and over a hundred test papers from the cultural center of Beijing, which also rekindled the hopes of the commune's middle school principal and teachers.
For the past three months, several teachers have devoted their time to the school, copying and printing test papers every day, highlighting key points and explaining key points. They have been pushing the students of the commune middle school to their limits. The teachers have also had a very hard time, almost every day they bring a cup of herbal medicine to the podium to teach.
After two or three months of testing, the results were quite noticeable; students' scores improved by at least 20 or 30 points.
Some students have a poor foundation but good natural talent, and with the close supervision of their teachers, their scores in several subjects can improve by hundreds of points.
It's worth noting that in the two years prior, the lowest admission score for undergraduate students was only around 210.
It is obvious that the college entrance examination admission scores are getting higher and higher each year. In the second year, most schools raise their admission scores, some by a few points and others by twenty or thirty points.
This year, the principal and teachers estimate that the cutoff score may be raised further, so a score of 280 or above will be more secure.
A score of 300 or above is enough to get into university; 240 or 250 is enough to get into a junior college or a teacher training college.
Based on the current estimated scores, about 30 to 40 students in the two classes have reached the level of teacher training colleges and vocational schools. This year, the commune middle school is not only comparable to other communes, but also to the top middle schools in the city and county.
If they achieve this, needless to say, the Ministry of Education's funding, as well as the bonuses for principals, directors, and teachers, will make them very wealthy.
Ji Xia cupped her hands in greeting to Teacher Liu: "Teacher Liu, congratulations! You should be getting an outstanding teacher title this time."
