Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 93 The Smile of the Teacher Who Sets the Questions (Please Read Later)
The much-anticipated monthly exam has finally arrived, but the format is somewhat casual.

After all, it’s not a serious exam. It’s held in the experimental middle school next door. According to the fat boy, it’s “no different from a small test.”

New Taipei First High School is purely a matter of students' own attention. The school directly arranges on-site examinations, and each class and subject teacher supervises individually. Prevention of cheating basically depends on self-consciousness.

Feeling that the school did not take it that seriously, Li Yan smiled inwardly, thinking that the questions were probably just at the normal test level and everyone was really overreacting. It was likely that Class Zero would get all full marks in the end.

Doesn't it mean that in the end the only subjects that can decide the winner are Chinese and Politics?

When Li Yan just got the test paper of the first subject, Chinese, he laughed at himself and glanced at Guo Qiwen on the podium with a grin.

Guo Qiwen remained gentle and courteous, always smiling.

A smile from the teacher who sets the test paper.

Li Yan’s doubts about “how to determine the difficulty of the monthly examination papers for the entire grade” were solved with just a very simple method – additional questions.

Simple and crude, why didn’t I think of it?

It’s a 100-point test paper, but there’s an additional 60-point question added to the end, and there’s a parenthesis saying it doesn’t factor into the ranking.

Excessive quantity, content beyond the syllabus, and difficulty beyond ability.

In a one and a half hour Chinese language test, in addition to the normal 100-point questions, you were given a half-page ancient Chinese reading passage, ancient poetry appreciation, and a 300-word short argumentative essay...

Teacher, there was originally a 40-point essay on the test paper!

Even Class Zero, which had the best discipline, couldn't help but let out a small exclamation in the sacred examination room.

The teachers' wishful thinking is really coming true.

But Li Yan was very excited. The harder the test paper was, the better; the more questions there were, the better; his thinking speed was eagerly awaited!
The first few questions were indeed not difficult. Not only Li Yan wrote fast, but the whole class wrote fast. He could no longer find the thrill of being far ahead of others that he had in elementary school.

I had just turned the page when the cold and beautiful lady at the front table followed suit. After a few minutes, others began to turn the pages one after another.

Lin Zhengmo was the top scorer in the Chinese language entrance exam in the entire grade.

The additional questions at the end were indeed very troublesome. Although Li Yan had accumulated a lot of basic Chinese knowledge through system improvement, and even developed something as mysterious as "sense of language", it was enough for him to read the ancient Chinese text without any obstacles.

However, I cannot guarantee 100% accuracy when it comes to accurately explaining and translating each word and sentence.

It was not until the bell rang to signal the end of the exam that Li Yan finally finished writing the last word. At this time, Lin Zhengmo, who was sitting in front of him, had stopped writing for five minutes.

Alas, who told me to write the composition first and then copy it?

The score of 53 in Chinese language skills is really a very high level.

The test paper and draft paper were passed from the back to the front. Li Yan clearly felt that Lin Zhengmo was stunned when he took her draft. Every student in front of him was like this - who the hell would write a complete essay on a draft paper? Even the additional questions?
After the high-intensity Chinese language course, the next course to come is the even more intense mathematics course.

There is only one hour, and the test paper contains 100 points of basic questions and 60 points of incomprehensible questions.

Many students in the ordinary class wrote with smiles on their faces, looking extremely relaxed.

The questions to be done are not difficult, and I can't even understand the difficult ones. I am full of confidence and have no burden. Isn't it true that the more I write, the happier I am?

Class Zero was a different story. Everyone was deep in thought, their pens flying on the draft paper.

Especially for the last question, almost the whole class stopped writing at the same time. Li Yan really had no idea how to deal with this question. She had never come across the knowledge points before. She couldn't even understand the question, let alone write it.

He was inwardly scolding the teacher for giving such meaningless questions that were beyond the syllabus, but he saw Chen Fan suddenly nod, pick up his pen and start writing frantically. On the other side, squad leader Liang also started writing quickly with his fingers shaking.

As expected, it is the gold medal of the Olympic Games...

During the lunch break in the study room, different factions began to emerge. It was found that the monthly exam was just a normal test. Students who didn't have any ideas about the additional questions just chatted and went to bed; students who had ideas about the additional questions gathered together to discuss crazily.

Li Yan belongs to the inexplicable school, he is reading books crazily.

Even Zhu Qinglun, who was half mute in a collective environment, couldn't help but say, "Mr. Yan, there's no point in learning advanced knowledge at this time, right?" "Indeed, I don't agree with you guys doing this. It's better to adjust your state than to cram at the last minute." Li Yan's eyes never left the book.

"Ah... ah?"

"Oh, I thought you were asking me about your approach. As for me...my last-minute cramming is useful."

I'm used to it. This guy just doesn't follow the beaten path. Zhu Qinglun didn't say anything more and went to adjust his state.

Ding!
[History +1, Level 19 skill, 50/]

You see, isn't this useful?
As expected, the afternoon exam followed the policy of having a 100-point basic paper to test the test, and a 60-point additional paper for students to choose from.

For history and geography, questions should be based on memorization for the time being. Knowledge points beyond the syllabus are nothing more than a test of accumulated knowledge. Li Yan is full of confidence.

Then I saw the discussion of historical issues in the additional questions, and questions such as analyzing geographical factors related to a landscape picture.

Is this the strength of New Taipei No. 1 High School? Are the teachers determined to dampen the confidence of the students in Class 0?

The questions were too subjective and no one would feel confident after finishing them. After taking the history and geography exams, these geniuses in Class 0 were visibly depressed.

"I've written more than a dozen articles, but I still feel like I'm not finished." Li Ruofei shook his head.

"I did the opposite. I wrote about ten points, then deleted and reduced them, and finally summarized them into four major points." Zhu Qinglun also shook his head.

"Have you finished the additional questions?" Li Yan interrupted.

"I have finished writing..."

"At least you finished writing it," Chen Fan said dejectedly, "I...ah, let's not talk about it."

During the evening self-study session that day, the whole class was looking up English dictionaries. We had previously thought that the vocabulary we had memorized in advance for junior high school would be enough, but judging from today's questions, it might not be enough even for high school.

There was a group of students from both the regular and experimental classes who leaned against the windows to watch, shaking their heads and saying that these people from Class Zero were crazy, "Why are they trying so hard to solve these 60-point extra questions?"

Unexpectedly, the additional questions on the English test the next morning did not contain any vocabulary beyond the syllabus, and there was only one reading question.

However, the text of the reading questions is attached separately. The test paper itself is only 6 pages, but this text has 8 pages.

Reading this makes everyone feel anxious...

Under the impact of the previous test questions, the biology test paper seemed quite standard, with only some advanced knowledge points used as questions.

During the lunch break at noon, several girls from dormitory 402 of class zero actually started complaining that the biology test was boring, which frightened the brothers in dormitory 403.

"If we say that, we will be beaten to death..." Lin Heng expressed his fear.

There was only one politics class in the afternoon, and this class was the only one that did not have the 60-point additional questions. Class Liang, who was really curious, asked questions for everyone.

Mr. Huang, the politics teacher, said that it was not necessary.

They soon understood that it was not easy to get 100 points in the main body.

This is a typical test paper where the score is not wide enough. For almost every major question, one can easily get 90% of the score, but it is very difficult to answer the remaining 10% correctly.

The bell of relief rang, and everyone sighed at the same time and handed in their papers with mixed emotions.

Students from other classes happily ran through the corridor, heading home after school. There was only one one-hour exam in the afternoon, which was equivalent to an early holiday, and everyone was smiling.

However, Class Zero still had to attend another class as usual, and the head teacher Guo Qiwen was sitting on the podium.

"Classmates, are the questions in the monthly exam difficult?"

　This is the last time I ask you to read the new book. Please! (Put your hands together and squint your eyes)
