"How are you?" Jiang Qi asked, staring at her.
Jiang Qilue's gaze was so intense that anyone who didn't know better would think he was looking at his lover. But Chu Yu knew that this guy was a study fanatic, with nothing but studying in his eyes. He was only concerned about her math grades.
"Well enough."
How much more can be added?
Chu Yu was rather conservative and didn't make any definitive statements, saying, "I can at least score 110."
"110?" After a brief silence, the students' gazes towards her changed. Was God just here to make up the numbers? How could the difference between people be so great? What does 110 points even mean? She was being quite conservative, adding an adverb of degree before it.
That means the final score was more than 110.
Some were happy, while others were sad; the teachers from other classes were green with envy.
Is this even human language? He can score 110 on a test with an average score of 30, and that's a conservative estimate; his actual score is probably even higher.
They work really hard, so why can't they find such promising students? Where did Zhang Zhihe find such a college entrance exam monster?
Under the watchful eyes of his teachers, Zhang Zhihe was so excited he was practically going crazy.
I wish I could shout to the heavens, "The best students he taught can score 110 on math tests!"
He couldn't wait to drag Chu Yu out to dance in the street and share this good news with everyone!
But he couldn't. He had to maintain his image and be mindful of the other teachers' feelings, so he could only lower his lips and nod calmly.
"Not bad, performed as expected," Zhang Zhihe concluded boastfully.
Listen to how rude and infuriating that is!
The other teachers were green with envy. Such a high score and you call that a normal performance? The total score is only 120, and you got 110 on this kind of difficult test. What more do you want?
This score was within Chu Yu's expectations. If the bonus questions were graded, she could have scored a few more points.
Shu Hui, Deng Fangping, and Shu Aiguo were all rubbing their hands together with joy, but they didn't dare to make a sound and disturb the students.
Zhang Zhihe stepped aside, and other teachers took over. These days, students all know to estimate their scores. They memorized the answers in advance, and their score estimates were quite accurate. The results for each subject came out quickly.
"Sigh, my score didn't reach last year's junior college cutoff, so it's probably going to be difficult."
"Those who scored high enough for a vocational college last year can get into a bachelor's program this year, don't be discouraged," Chu Yu comforted her.
"I'll have to retake the exam because of my score."
"I'm doing alright. I think I can get into the second tier. I'd be happy if I could get into a second tier school. I just don't know which school to apply to."
Chu Yu pondered that this year's undergraduate admission line was not high, but she couldn't remember the exact number. With such a low math score, the undergraduate admission line was only around 440 points, but the admission line for key universities was at least 20 to 30 points higher, which would be around 470 points.
This is about the same score line given by Jiang Qilue's mother.
Several classmates estimated their scores to be within 430, which would allow them to go to a vocational college. In fact, these days, vocational college graduates are more sought after than undergraduate graduates. Vocational college graduates are guaranteed job placement, and the majors they study are highly practical, allowing them to start working at the grassroots level in their workplaces early on.
Starting from the bottom doesn't necessarily mean you're worse than an undergraduate.
"While test scores are important, the majors we choose are even more important. When choosing a major, we need to consider our family's actual situation, the country's future development focus, and the city we want to settle in. If we want good employment prospects, we can consider majors like teacher training, medicine, or nursing."
Nowadays, popular majors are basic disciplines such as literature, history, and philosophy.
But the future is uncertain.
Chu Yu only mentioned it out of friendship with his classmates, feeling that many students didn't know how to choose a major and always filled in the blanks randomly, which could easily affect their future lives.
"Those with connections to get jobs can choose a related major. There's a severe shortage of finance professionals these days; those wanting to work in banking or auditing should consider this major. With China's reform and opening up, foreign trade and international trade are highly sought after..."
Chu Yu had done her homework beforehand, focusing on information asymmetry. She didn't intend to hide anything and shared all the information she knew with her classmates.
The students were stunned; they had no idea there were so many intricacies involved in choosing a university major.
These days, rural families all hope their children will study at teachers' colleges. Many parents secretly change their children's choices without their knowledge, thinking that being a teacher is a secure job, something to be proud of, and that they can teach their own children in the future. Rural children are subjected to emotional manipulation by their parents, so how could they dare to choose any other major?
Most students have no choice but to follow their parents' wishes and apply for teacher training programs.
Children in the city don't have many requirements. Their parents have good jobs, they have no worries about food and drink, and they can choose any major they like.
But since they couldn't find any useful information, they could only fill in the forms based on their intuition, choosing whichever one they had enough points for.
Chu Yu's words pointed them in the right direction.
As soon as the match ended, Jiang Qilue's mother rushed in. She had short hair, wore glasses, and looked like a high school dean of students, but her voice was gentle.
"How did you do? What score did you get?"
"Above 540, no problem getting into a top university," Jiang Qi said, glancing at Chu Yu while carrying his backpack. "And you? How did your exam go?"
As soon as Jiang Qilue spoke, her mother was completely relieved, and the smile on her face never stopped. Any parent knows that no matter how much money you earn or how high a position you hold, nothing is more prideful than your child's good grades!
Her son is truly outstanding, scoring 540 points! Getting into Tsinghua University is difficult, but are there really no other good universities besides Tsinghua?
Deyang hasn't produced a Tsinghua University student in many years, and Jiang's mother has never had that dream.
Hearing Jiang Qilue's words, she then looked at Chu Yu. Chu Yu was in charge of this work. The better the students did on the exam, the more proud she would be. If a student could be admitted to Tsinghua University, then, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Jiang's position would also be promoted.
"Zhou, how's your estimated score? What's your total score? It should be slightly higher than my son Qi's, right?"
The way Jiang's mother spoke was as if she were treating a national first-class protected animal. Isn't it a protected animal? After all, you can't bring a panda into the college entrance exam, can you? But Chu Yu can help Deyang break the curse of zero students getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities. Not to mention Jiang's mother, Principal Ji and the leaders of the Education Bureau, aren't they all looking forward to it?
The leader also said that if Chu Yu really passed the exam, they would publicize it extensively and apply for another subsidy for him.
Chu Yu couldn't keep a low profile about her test scores. She estimated she could score over 600, but she couldn't overestimate her score. Being conservative wouldn't hurt, since the grading standards for the college entrance exam were higher than usual.
"I estimate I'll get 592 points. If I don't get that, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"How many points?" Jiang's mother's loud voice attracted everyone's attention.
Wow, 592 points! And that's a conservative estimate!
If we don't estimate conservatively, how many points would that be?
