Chapter 48: Something More Interesting Than Competition
Under everyone's attention, Wang Xianghong distributed copies of answer sheets to each student.
"This is a preliminary result. If you feel that you can improve your score in any area, we will apply to the competition organizer for a review."
"Xu You, 108 points, this is a very good result. Not only is it the first in Ningjiang Province, it is also ranked eighth in the country. Congratulations, Xu You, you have also entered the national mathematics competition."
Wang Xianghong read Xu You's name first.
Upon hearing the news, the members of the Ningjiang Province Mathematical Competition Team couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Fuck, 108! This is a double national competition. Have there been double national competitions for physics and mathematics before?"
"Youshen is awesome! He can even enter the national competition for his secondary event. How embarrassed are we who compete in mathematics as our main event?"
"There are actually people who can be recommended twice... Can you give me a spot? Forget it, I don't deserve it."
When Xu You heard his results and ranking, he did not show much emotion.
This score is within my expectations.
But Xu You did not expect such a high ranking.
108 points, but 18 points were lost.
Even this person could get 8th place, it seems that everyone’s scores are not as high as Xu You imagined.
After taking the paper, the first thing Xu You paid attention to was the part where he lost points.
Of course, it is unlikely to catch up with the points.
Xu You will go and listen carefully to the subsequent grading lecture.
Because every candidate needs to know the specific scoring criteria, there will be exam question explanations and scoring lectures.
This is different from the normal college entrance examination.
Of course, many candidates with low scores have no intention of listening to the explanation of .
Except for Xu You, other candidates from Ningjiang Province did not enter the national examination.
And after the results are announced.
A candidate looked at the final list and suddenly shouted.
"Fuck... 126 points! Full marks!"
"Who is it? Is there anyone who got full marks?"
"Lou Song, that's the kid from Renda University!"
"This guy is not a human being, he must be cheating!"
Xu You was also a little surprised to hear that Lou Song actually got full marks.
Getting full marks in an exam does not necessarily mean that he has the ability to get full marks.
Maybe it’s just because the full score of this test paper is only 126 points.
"Fifteen years old... got full marks in the national math competition... oh!"
Xu You had to admit that he was indeed far inferior to Lou Song.
This gap is not just the 18 points that it seems on the surface.
But I am afraid it is a huge gap.
At this time, Xu You once again recalled what Lou Song had said to him a few days ago -
"We may meet more often in the future."
Xu You finally understood the meaning of Lou Song's words.
At the subsequent award ceremony, Xu You met Lou Song again.
Because the two people's rankings were very close, they were placed in the middle of the photo.
After taking the group photo, Lou Song found Xu You.
"That's amazing. You even made it to the national competition in mathematics. Unlike me, I just barely won a gold medal in physics."
"Just a quick question, you didn't take the physics competition exam without preparation, did you?" Xu You asked.
"You can't say I took the exam without clothes on, I did wear clothes."
Xu You was stunned when he heard this.
Is this a joke?
Why do you feel a little cold?
"Hehe, since I have nothing to do, I'll take the physics competition to practice. After all, one more gold medal will enrich my resume in the future. Isn't this why you took the math competition?"
Although Xu You did not put too much energy into the mathematics competition.
But I really studied day and night for those few days.
If I were really as casual as Lou Song...
I'm afraid I may not even be able to make it to the national finals.
"Have you chosen where to be admitted? If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Physics Department of Ji University, right?"
Every year, the top few candidates in the physics competition almost always choose the Department of Physics at Jilin University.
"I haven't signed the agreement yet, but I want to apply for Jida's science experimental class now."
Lou Song was also stunned when he heard this.
"Science experimental class? Isn't that Heqing College? That's quite free. But it's really suitable for you. There won't be another one like you who can compete in both physics and mathematics in the national class in a few years. This is good. We may have the opportunity to take math classes together."
Heqing College of Ji University is named after Mr. Heqing, the former president of Ji University.
The establishment of this college can be regarded as a talent cultivation program with a rather experimental nature.
The advantage is that you are very free and can choose any major you want to study and enrich your basic knowledge.
Of course, there are also obvious disadvantages.
In the early stages, there was no clear direction.
It is possible for students to lose themselves.
But for Xu You, such a high degree of freedom is very suitable, as it allows him to make the best use of school resources.
And when Lou Song mentioned taking math class together.
Xu You suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, can I take Wei Shen's class from now on?"
In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Xu You preferred to choose Ji University.
He really wanted to learn from an outstanding scholar like Wei Shen.
"Of course, but Wei Shen's class is too popular right now. We have to go early to get a good seat."
"Yes, God Wei is..."
Suddenly, Xu You realized a problem from Lou Song's words.
"You...you have already taken Wei Shen's class?"
"Well, I started auditing classes at Jida University last year after I was recommended. Since I've already been recommended, there's nothing else to do, so I might as well go to the university and listen to classes in advance. It's also quite interesting."
Due to policy reasons, even if a competition student is recommended for admission, he or she still needs to wait until graduation from high school before he or she can go through the university admission procedures.
When he entered the national mathematics competition last year, Lou Song was only in his second year of high school and had to wait another year to become a formal Jilin University student.
I know that Lou Song has already enjoyed the study life at Ji University one year in advance.
Xu You really felt a little envious.
Even compared with university study life.
Xu You felt that high school competitions were less interesting.
No matter how difficult the competition questions are, at the core, they are just solving some questions carefully designed by the teachers.
It is far less interesting than learning knowledge and doing scientific research in university.
Thinking of this, Xu You decided.
After I get back, I will prepare to attend classes at the university.
Anyway, the national training camp later won’t take up too much time.
It would be better to spend most of your time in university, so that you can get involved in scientific research earlier.
As for going back to high school, I might as well get the top score in the college entrance exam or something.
Xu You felt that it was not only meaningless, but also really boring.
To put it bluntly, the college entrance examination is just an examination.
The ultimate goal is to get into an ideal university.
Since you have been admitted, why bother taking the college entrance examination?
Xu You does not think that the experience of the college entrance examination is necessary.
As for the honor of being the top scorer in the college entrance examination, Xu You didn't care at all.
Even though he got first place in CPhO, Xu You didn't feel too happy.
Not to mention the top scorer in the college entrance examination, which has even less value.
After the award ceremony.
Those students who entered the national group were once again surrounded by the admissions teachers from Jinghua and Jida.
Although Xu You ranked only eighth in the mathematics competition, he was still the first to attract the attention of the admissions teachers.
Xu You realized that the situation was not good, but it was too late to escape.
In Xu You's previous imagination, these should be relatively cold admissions teachers.
When facing himself, he seems overly enthusiastic.
Xu You couldn't help but sigh.
Sometimes, having outstanding grades can also be a trouble.
