12. First monthly exam
The school curriculum is quite tight, and the first monthly exam is coming soon, so Su Liu has no time to look for Zhang Yanchen.
At night, in the dormitory, Su Liu sat in the living room, staring at the night sky in a daze.
The dormitory allocated by the school is a suite, with four single rooms and a living room, and the bathroom is shared.
Yan Ziyan was dizzy from memorizing her lessons. When she came out to drink some water, she saw Su Liu looking at the stars very easily and she was extremely envious.
"Liuliu, don't you need to review?"
Su Liu didn't want to be seen as showing off. "I'll just take a break and continue memorizing later."
Yan Ziyan sat down next to her and said, "I know you're a top student. You seem to know everything about plants that we find difficult to understand, even plants we've never seen before."
For example, for the more difficult ones, such as water celery, purple moss, and toon, you need to master their morphological characteristics, categories, growth environment, edible and medicinal value, and planting methods.
The scope of the first monthly exam covers the characteristic values of more than 500 kinds of plants, the habits and morphology of more than 20 kinds of birds and beasts, breeding plans, etc., and also requires comparison with exotic plants and animals infected with strange factors.
There are more than ten thick books to review alone.
The others wailed after hearing the scope of the exam, but Su Liu was the only one who calmly packed up his books and left as if nothing had happened.
This kind of attitude is either attributed to a top student or a poor student who doesn't care about test scores.
Yan Ziyan also said, "I saw you asked the senior students for second-grade textbooks. What are you going to study next year?"
"Mostly related to medicinal plants, fungi, microorganisms, etc., meteorology and genetics are also included," Su Liu said. "Third year is more difficult. We have to start mastering genetics and conduct genetic research on various plants and animals."
The second-year content was relatively simple for her. Previously, in the agricultural college, she had studied breeding, management, biochemistry, soil and fertilizer, biostatistics, etc.
The third-year courses were not difficult, except for genetics, which was a field that Su Liu rarely explored.
That was a more in-depth research theory, seemingly aiming to develop new plants by grafting them onto existing plants. Therefore, Su Liu planned to study it in advance, lest he fall behind in the course.
Yan Ziyan was stunned: "You are reading the third grade textbook?"
"Starting in the fourth grade, we joined the army, or were assigned to agricultural bases for practical training, and we no longer needed to look at textbooks."
"...Oh my God, you are so terrifying." Yan Ziyan was full of admiration.
The first monthly exam soon arrived. Su Liu was the first one to hand in his paper. While other candidates were still scratching their heads, he went back to the dormitory to look at his third-grade textbook.
It was not until noon that several roommates came back one after another, all looking miserable.
Yan Ziyan rushed into the living room and flipped through her textbook frantically.
"What are the tips of sand pine? Oh, oh, the tender leaves of the Chinese fir? Chinese fir is a tree in the genus Chinese fir, Pinaceae. It's drought-tolerant and barren, and thrives on acidic red or yellow soil... Hahaha, this is so simple, I got all the answers right, hahahaha!"
Another roommate wearing glasses also flipped through the book in frustration, "Didn't they say the spiked crutch wasn't a key part of the exam? Why are we asked to recount all the relevant content in detail? Haha, it's okay, I reviewed it. Of course I reviewed it, hahahaha——"
"That's not right. White hair moss isn't even on this exam. It's not even first-grade knowledge. Why would they be testing it?" The short-haired roommate quickly flipped through the table of contents. "Kadupur is at the end of the textbook. What the hell is it on the monthly exam?"
Seeing his roommates screaming like crazy, Su Liu asked cautiously, "Do you think the exam is difficult?"
The other three looked at her in unison.
Yan Ziyan cried and laughed, "It's so easy, it's all child's play, not difficult at all!"
As long as it’s so difficult that you can’t even understand the questions, then it’s not difficult at all.
Roommate No. 2's glasses were fogged up. "It's no problem to get first place in the department!"
The last one is also the first!
Roommate number three also had tears in her eyes. "I thought the first monthly exam was going to be difficult, but it's actually nothing special. There's no need to stay up all night studying!"
After all, the content I stayed up late to review was not tested, but all the knowledge points I skipped were tested, hahaha.
Having already predicted the test results, the roommates hugged each other in tears.
Su Liu was originally quite confident, but after hearing everyone crying and laughing, he couldn't help but become anxious.
In fact, the contents of several test papers were very simple for her, but she was extra careful and deliberately wrote some answers wrong even if they were very correct.
The total score of this monthly exam is 720 points, and a 60% accuracy rate, or 432 points, is required to pass.
Su Liu silently calculated in the examination room at that time and felt that as long as he could get into the top 50 in the department, he could just go to the cafeteria on the third floor to eat.
Therefore, in terms of scores, the accuracy rate should be controlled at 80%, which is around 576 points.
If she controls the score, it should be around 580 points.
This score shouldn't be that bad, right?
Everyone was sad for a few days, and on Monday morning, the scores and rankings were made into a large horizontal poster and posted on the display board in front of the teaching building.
Su Liu and Yan Ziyan went to see it together, but there were so many people in front that they couldn't squeeze through.
"Why not just post it on your iPhone? If that doesn't work, you can post it in the class group." Su Liu was sweating from being squeezed and couldn't help but complain.
Yan Ziyan was stepped on several times, and she was already nervous and felt like vomiting, so she had to lean on Su Liu.
"This is the department head's request. They say public executions are more conducive to motivating students to make progress."
Su Liu found it hard to agree with this statement.
After finally squeezing to the front of the list, Yan Ziyan almost fainted. She closed her eyes and said, "Liuliu, can you help me find my ranking, or just tell me whether I passed or not."
Su Liu was standing right in the middle of the list. He glanced to the left and saw Yan Ziyan's name.
"You are ranked 2586."
Yan Ziyan asked tremblingly, "Did you pass?"
Su Liu was silent.
Yan Ziyan pushed her and cried out in a sobbing voice, "Liuliu?"
"No," Su Liu whispered, "almost."
"How close is it?"
"Two hundred short."
Yan Ziyan's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Su Liu reached out from under his armpits and hugged Yan Ziyan. For a moment, he didn't know whether to go to the front of the list or just go to the back.
Yan Ziyan, who only scored over 200 points, was actually in the middle range. It can be seen that the overall result of this exam was not ideal.
Su Liu had a bad feeling, and under the loud shouting of his short-haired roommate Rosa, he dragged Yan Ziyan to the front of the list.
"Liuliu, you're number one," Rosa looked at her with worshipful eyes, attracting the attention of the whole audience, "Number one!"
The ominous premonition came true. Su Liu looked at his score at the top of the list, 583.
Look down.
Second place, 463.
Depend on!
