Chapter Nine 120 points

Such children are often very reluctant to attend a junior college, as the differences after graduation are indeed too significant; it might be better to repeat a year in order to secure a happier life.

Teacher Lu's hands and feet moved slowly, and under the gaze of many students, he momentarily did not know where to place the last exam paper

The 1980s were undoubtedly the era of academic excellence, during which people regarded the college entrance examination as a modern-day imperial examination. Whether students or members of society, discussions about learning and knowledge were still imbued with reverence.

A rustling sound of amazement emerged from below

Yang Rui carefully observed Li Xuegong for a while. His timidity and stage fright indicate that he possesses a sense of fear and knows when to advance and retreat. Achieving a score of 82 in such an environment demonstrates that he is not lacking in perseverance. Compared to some educated youth who have endured for five or six years, Li Xuegong is more worthy of cultivation

In an era where one can gain admission to an undergraduate program with a score of 370 and to a college with a score of 340, a mathematics score of 82 is truly enviable

The distracted Hu Yanshan quickly turned to Yang Rui

Teacher Lu hesitated for a moment and nodded

Teacher Lu coughed and said, "Take a good look at the few questions where you lost points. Usually, when you feel nervous, you need to simulate the exam by timing yourself. If you can perform like this during the college entrance examination, won't it save you a year?"

Liu Shan slightly turned her head and glanced at Yang Rui, attempting to discern his guilt.

Yang Rui surpassed the second place by 38 points, which is 80 points more than his own score in the recent college entrance examination.

In the not too long history of Xibao Middle School, there has yet to be a record of a student achieving a perfect score. There has been none in the college entrance examination, none in the mock exams, and not even in the regular assessments.

The gap between the second place and the first place is the largest, of course, this is without taking Yang Rui into account

In the remedial classes, there are many students like this, especially those from families with less favorable conditions. The reason they return year after year is that they are so close to the passing score, too close to give up, which is why they grit their teeth and persevere

Hu Yanshan unceremoniously picked up the item from the podium and, upon seeing it, laughed: "Isn't this Yang Rui's? You seem to have forgotten it. Let me see, this scored 12... 120 points?"

How much time is left until the end of the college entrance examination? If this study group of Wang Guohua and Yang Rui is truly effective, he would indeed like to join it.

Yet behind the pervasive light smoke, his eyes were fixed on Wang Guohua and Yang Rui

Li Xuegong scored only 61 points in the college entrance examination mathematics, which was exactly 21 points less than the required score. Coupled with a slight tendency to be uneven in his studies, he ultimately scored just over 350 points, which was a significant distance from the undergraduate admission threshold

On the contrary, those students whose scores are significantly lower, knowing that they cannot meet the passing line, will at most repeat a year or two before quietly leaving.

Still, it is better to inquire separately. Teacher Lu thought of this and took out Yang Rui's exam paper, placing it at the very bottom before leisurely walking into the classroom

Wang Guohua scored 46 points. Most importantly, he only lost two points on the steps of his trigonometric function questions, which proves that memorizing formulas is indeed effective. He couldn't help but feel anxious and was extremely excited.

On the stage, Teacher Lu picked up the second paper without even looking at it and said: "Xu Jing, 71 points... too careless, you need to practice the function section more, you lost too many points on the fill-in-the-blank questions"

Teacher Lu continues to distribute the papers, and without exception, he provides two comments on each one. He believes that this is the most effective time for education

Liu Shan listened intently as the time went from 60 minutes to 30 minutes, yet Yang Rui had not yet appeared on stage, which left her feeling both amused and disappointed. The amusement stemmed from Yang Rui's grandiose rhetoric, while the disappointment arose from his ability to mislead both others and himself, despite having a good appearance.

He immediately stood up, crushed the cigarette butt on the table, and shouted: "Teacher Lu, Yang Rui's paper has not been distributed yet"

In response to this, Hu Yanshan displayed a complete indifference, sitting in the back seat, lighting a cigarette to convey his emotions

Understood, thank you, Teacher Lu. The name does not match with Xu Jing; she is a robust girl with a strong build. Her sturdy arms and solid waist are a result of her regular farm work. Her rosy cheeks evoke a sense of a 1970s propaganda poster, yet she is exceptionally lively, and in the short distance of just a few steps to collect the papers, she can easily engage in playful banter with others

Yang Rui's expression was as calm as water, showing no signs of embarrassment about revealing the cards

Can he really score high? The little girl had no idea what a poker face was, and her mind involuntarily began to wander.

Liu Shan did not dare to ask further and quickly returned to her seat

As the class was about to end, Hu Yanshan also received his paper: 15 points

He silently wrote this name in a brand new red leather notebook

Hu Yanshan does not wish to take the path of enlisting in the military and then seeking a job promotion, as it is too arduous and time-consuming, and the advancement is slower than that of others, which is quite frustrating

This is what a true "tough woman" is like; at home, she is likely treated just like a man. Yang Rui commented to himself.

Teacher Lu read out one name after another, and soon it was the class monitor Liu Shan, who ranked sixth with a score of 65

In this environment, students' emphasis on grades is unprecedented

This fellow remained calm and composed despite not receiving the exam paper, which inevitably led Hu Yanshan to a train of thought.

Teacher Lu held Yang Rui's paper, feeling both helpless and strange

The students sat up straight and looked attentively at Teacher Lu

A burst of laughter came from below

Nowadays, not to mention the son of the power supply station director, even the son of the power supply bureau director is striving to get into university

Li Xuegong lowered his head and said, "During the exam, my heart was beating particularly fast..."

Whether the latter half of life will be spent drinking soup or eating meat depends on whether one can overcome the hurdle of the college entrance examination

Hu Yanshan is well-informed; he knows Wang Guohua's previous scores just by asking. In comparison, it is evident that he has improved, and he has increased by nearly 20 points.

Hello, teacher! The students greeted in unison while continuing to stare at the papers on the lectern

The papers for the last few students were quickly distributed. Teacher Lu glanced at the watch and said: "Everyone, take a ten-minute break. I will start discussing the papers in the next class"

Achieving a perfect score in mathematics is quite challenging. Some individuals may consistently attain scores of 95% or even 99%, but to claim a perfect score is invariably difficult. In the subsequent college entrance examinations, the average number of students achieving a perfect score in mathematics in a province is merely in the dozens. In provinces with more difficult self-designed papers, there may be only one or two perfect scores across the entire province.

Li Xuegong stood up with a joyful expression and retrieved his exam paper

When Teacher Lu handed her the paper, he specifically pointed to the stains on it and said: "I deducted 5 points from your presentation score. You must pay attention in the future; you absolutely cannot dirty the paper. Otherwise, when it comes time for the exam, the grading teacher might think you marked it intentionally, and that would be troublesome, do you understand?"

As he spoke, he rushed to the podium

However, the teacher has not yet called out Yang Rui's paper, which deepens his confusion

After putting away the papers, Liu Shan was about to turn around but stopped again and asked, "Teacher Lu, will the papers be distributed according to the scores?"

Such results are simply inexplicable in the eyes of Teacher Lu, who has always been attentive to him

Understood. Liu Shan lowered her head, secretly resenting Yang Rui. If it were not for him, how could she have sullied the exam paper? She should have scored 70 points and rightfully secured third place.

Teacher Lu usually enjoys saying a few words during class, but today he seemed disinterested. He picked up the first paper on the desk and said: "Li Xuegong, 82 points, very well done, come and collect your paper."

This examination paper is primarily based on simulating the college entrance examination in July, and the scores of the students in the remedial class mostly fluctuate around the college entrance examination results. Among them, the highest score is 82, which is equivalent to a score of 69 on the percentage scale, while the lowest score is only a single digit, indicating a freshman with severe subject bias

Class monitor Liu Shan slightly clenched her fist and shouted: "Stand up!"
