Chapter 71 -068: Mock Exam Results (Four Updates)
“Are you saying that the first place is at No. 1 Middle School?”
Early in the morning at Experimental Middle School, Physics Teacher Qu was holding the microphone with a shocked expression. After hanging up the phone, he looked down at the list in his hand. Thanks to their principal’s efforts, they had finally secured ten spots to compete in the contest.
Now that the results were out, only one of the ten students had performed well, ranking twelfth in the province.
Originally, this result was already quite good and they had planned to give this student a bonus as an encouragement.
But upon suddenly hearing that the first place in the province was from the City No. 1 Middle School, Teacher Qu immediately remembered how he had mocked Old Li outside the examination hall…
Even though no one noticed, he still felt his face burning, especially since they only sent four students.
At this moment, the principal looked at him and asked, “Who was it? Zhu Zhen?”
City No. 1 Middle School had several top students who were impressive, and Experimental Middle School was well aware of this. As for those good at physics, other than Zhu Zhen, nobody else was really in the running.
The list in Teacher Qu’s hand contained the scores and ranks of their school’s students who participated in the competition, and apart from the first one, the rest were not worth mentioning.
But even their number one… how could he compare to the provincial first place?
“It’s not Zhu Zhen, it’s a name I haven’t heard before.”
Teacher Qu felt a chill down his spine as he thought about the news he had received early in the morning, “They say her name is Song Jiawen, a girl.”
“A girl?”
The principal looked surprised. Even in their school, all the students who went to the competition were boys. It wasn’t that they discriminated against girls, but it was just hard to find a girl who liked physics and was also good at it.
Even if there were a few, they were not exceptionally outstanding.
However, the principal was only surprised for a moment before he waved his hand dismissively, “Beicheng University will probably offer her a special recruitment into their physics department. Forget it, we don’t need to pay too much attention to this. What we ultimately strive for is first place in the city and the spots for Beijing University every year.”
Compared with Beijing University, Beicheng University certainly seemed less significant.
Teacher Qu breathed a sigh of relief. He put down the list in his hand and no longer concerned himself with any Song Jiawen or Li Jiawen, turning instead to look at the results of this simulated exam in the office.
…..
The principal of Experimental Middle School guessed right, a professor from the physics department of Beicheng University indeed called City No. 1 Middle School to offer Song Jiawen special recruitment.
But how could it be possible?
Principal Tan of City No. 1 Middle School smiled and declined politely, putting down the phone with a sense of regret. Ah, if only it were a student who was weak in other subjects, with just average overall scores.
After all, it was Beicheng University.
But it just had to be Song Jiawen, what a dilemma!
The principal felt a mix of pride and pity, yet soon he was beaming with delight!
After being overshadowed by Experimental Middle School for so long, today was finally a day to hold his head high.
No, the real moment to hold heads high was still to come.
The results of the mock exams were also out, and Song Jiawen was once again at the top with the highest score, and even her total score was nearly perfect, more outstanding than the last monthly exam.
Although the Chinese teacher said her essay was a bit odd this time, it still didn’t affect her high score.
After all, she hadn’t gone off topic.
During the morning reading period, the buzzing sound in the classroom was not from reading. Everyone was discussing the results and rankings of this simulated exam.
Song Jiawen was once again called inhuman by the senior students at No. 1 Middle School, with a total score of 745.
The second place was still Zhu Zhen, with 713.
Although Zhu Zhen had become the runner-up since Song Jiawen arrived, and the long-held “forever number one” title had shifted, he didn’t mind at all, excited about his eight-point improvement.
After all, the mock exam was much harder than the monthly one, but his total score advanced rather than regressed. What did that indicate?
It indicated that studying with Song Jiawen lately had paid off significantly.
Moreover, he had achieved fifth place in the provincial physics contest this time, a result he had never gotten before.
Meanwhile, Xiao Qi and the others were looking at Jiang Yan’s scores:
Chinese: 140
Mathematics: 145
English: 112
Liberal Arts and Science Comprehensive: 288
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.
Total Score: 685
Improved by eighteen points from the last time, just two points shy of twenty.
Although for those ranked in the top twenty of the grade, improving by eighteen points in one exam is quite terrifying, the focus of attention is not on this.
What they are concerned about is that he lost the bet with Sister Wen.
Xiao Qi and his group laughed heartily, clearly delighting in his misfortune.
Looking at his own score, Jiang Yan was quite speechless.
Two points, just two points—how come they couldn’t just squeeze out those two points?
Actually, getting 112 in English was really a surprise for him, but he knew it still wasn’t enough.
Not enough for Beijing University.
But if it’s other key universities in Beijing, that should be secure… right?
Song Jiawen turned to look at him, tapped her fingers on the table, and asked, “Do you have to give the painting back now?”
She now seriously suspected that he knew he couldn’t reach the target, so he tricked her into giving the painting away in advance.
“Given is given, how can it be asked for again? How about this—”
Jiang Yan cleared his throat and said with a smile, “Next time I’ll meet the goal, how about that?”
Before the college entrance examination, there is one more monthly test and one simulation test.
The school has just announced that, in order not to cause huge pressure and anxiety to the senior students, the bi-weekly quizzes have been cancelled.
“Next time? You mean, next time you are going to score 705?”
Jiang Yan’s expression stiffened, and his look was filled with horror, “Big sister, I’m not you.” Do you think everyone is as freakish as you?
The next time he spoke of reaching the goal was 687, how could it possibly be 705? Wouldn’t that be digging his own grave?
Song Jiawen pouted, a look of boredom on her face, “You still want more paintings from me, but if we don’t end up at the same university, how am I supposed to paint for you?”
“That’s simple, I’ll go…”
“That’s not simple!”
Song Jiawen ruthlessly interrupted him, leaving no room for negotiation, “If we’re not in the same school, no painting.”
Jiang Yan: …
Alright, for the sake of a painting, I’ll give it my all!
…..
At this moment, in the school’s computer room, Principal Tan, all the homeroom teachers of the senior grade, along with Director Zhai, were all crammed in there.
“Wait a second, don’t input Song Jiawen’s scores like that.”
The scores from the city’s unified mock exam needed to be entered into the computer for citywide ranking. But computer networking had only been implemented a few years back, and Yunzhou, being an insignificant eighteenth-tier small city, often couldn’t keep up with many of the hardware facilities.
As above, so below, but sometimes the higher-ups have no clue what’s going on below, nor do they consider going into the specifics.
Such as right now—
Principal Tan personally adjusted Song Jiawen’s scores one by one, finally making her total score 699.
By doing so, her rank in Number One High School became sixth.
Teacher Gao worriedly said, “Is this really okay? The senior students at our school all know how many points Song Jiawen scored.”
“What’s there to fear?”
Principal Tan dismissively said, “As long as the Experimental Middle School doesn’t suspect anything, we’ll be fine.”
Even if they suspect, what can they do? Do they dare to come over and check Song Jiawen’s papers? Given their pride, I reckon they wouldn’t believe it anyway.
Though it’s called a citywide unified mock exam, ultimately all the schools have to input the scores into their computers themselves. Truth or falsehood, who knows how much water has been mixed in by who?
But generally, scores are adjusted higher. Principal Tan seems to be the first to pull the scores down.
There’s no helping it—Song Jiawen is now the ace of Number One High School. He had to keep her in reserve, to blow up those competitive brats from Experimental Middle School!
