Unbelievable College Entrance Examination Results!
Everyone knew that the Jiangnan Province’s college entrance examination would be extremely difficult. It wasn’t anything like the national examinations as the students had to take a “small college entrance examination” in the second year of high school. There was a total of four subjects, and if one were to score an A in all subjects, they would be awarded five points. However, if they failed to get an A for any one of the subjects, they would only have three points.
These four subjects could be anything from Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, History, and Politics, while the remaining two would serve as majors.
Naturally, Zhao Youyue chose Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Geography at the time of her “small college entrance examination.” As a liberal arts student, she would major in History and Politics.
Zhao Youyue’s class teacher, Old Qiu, had attempted to talk her into taking science instead. The world seemed to think that science majors were born winners. They were better humans. They had better chances of getting employed…
Employment, what’s that? Can it be eaten? Zhao Youyue was too lazy to get involved in that. Moreover, liberal arts required less effort, compared to science.
Also, if she took liberal arts, would she be able to get away from the pile of mess that was the hardworking genius Huang Zongchao, and emerge decisively as the number one student in liberal arts?
Conversely, she had her family background to fall back on. After all, her mother was a university professor who taught the Chinese language and literature
In any case, she chose liberal arts, and she was extremely well-versed in it. She loved those subjects that required memorizing the most. The Xu Jing card would have its fill there. She did not need it activated to recall whatever it has memorized!
For liberal arts, language took up 200 points (inclusive of 40 supplementary points), Mathematics took up 160 points, and English took up 120 points, and everything totaled up to 480 points. That’s how Jiangnan Provincial College Entrance Examinations worked. If it was Science, the additional 40 points would be attached to Mathematics, instead.
Zhao Youyue’s college entrance examination results were: 143+36, which meant 179 points in total for language, 154 points in Mathematics, and 118 points in English, plus 5 points from the small college entrance examination. Her total score totaled up to 456 points! In addition to that, both History and Politics were, of course, A+.
It was almost humanly impossible. This was truly the results of a liberal arts scholar. It was the highest score ever in recent years!
A certain way behind her was the liberal arts student named Li Tianyu, who had obtained a total score of 428 points. Without Zhao Youyue, he would most certainly be the top scholar of this year’s liberal arts college entrance examination. The main difference between him and Zhao Youyue was English, as he only scored 102 points there.
Bai Yunshan failed to claim her second place. Looking at the results of everyone else in the province, she could not walk alongside Zhao Youyue anymore. Her total score was only 419 points, and she had lost a lot of ground in Mathematics. After all, the Mathematics paper in Jiangnan Province was on a totally different level. Did they mistake high school students for quantum physicists?
Those who participated in the Mathematics competition were finally able to reap the benefits of their long drills and preparations. Zhao Youyue had not participated in any competition. This time, she did not get a perfect score in Mathematics this time. Even someone like her had been stumped by the last question…
After all, the Xu Jing character card was not a genius card. It could not increase Zhao Youyue’s IQ. It was not a miracle worker, it had its limits!
With that in mind, Han Leng’s good friend Chen Haoran came atop the stage for a momentary salute. Despite the impossible odds, he had managed to achieve a perfect score!
