Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 172 Let's do a difficult one
After the semi-finals of the Qiu competition, which is the written test stage, are all over.
The marking and selection will be organized by the organizing committee.
The marking and evaluation process takes about half a month.
At that time, the written test results will be announced on the official website of Qiusai, and candidates can log in to the official website to check them.
The top 15 or so candidates in the written test phase will enter the final as winners.
Before the final begins, if any candidate has doubts about his or her written test results.
Then, the candidates can apply for a review of their written test scores by stating the reasons in writing.
After the application is reviewed and approved by the team leader of the candidate's university, the team leader will submit it to the competition academic and proposition committee.
The committee will handle and resolve grade review matters.
Generally speaking, every candidate will have an estimate of their own scores after the exam, and very few will apply for review.
Moreover, even after applying for a review, the final result may not be what you want.
After the written test results are announced, it will be about another half a month before the finals.
The final is also the interview stage.
The competition will be organized by the Qiu Chengtong Mathematical Science Center of Shuimu University, the headquarters of the competition, and internationally renowned expert judges will be invited to interview and assess the students who are shortlisted for the finals.
Each student will have 40 minutes to prepare for the interview.
This was followed by a 30-minute interview.
It is worth mentioning that the interview assessment requires answers to be given entirely in English.
After reading the follow-up arrangements for the Qiu competition, Chen Zhou shook his head slightly. His spoken English was a bit poor...
Fortunately, there is still about a month to prepare.
Turning to look at the other three people in the dormitory, Chen Zhou asked, "Qiqi, Lao Zhu, Lili, how is your spoken English?"
Zhao Qiqi was the first to reply: "It's OK. I've participated in English speeches before. What's wrong?"
"Cough cough...nothing..." Chen Zhou coughed twice.
Zhu Mingli also said: "I have specially strengthened this aspect in the past. After all, if you want to get an offer from a prestigious international university, English is a must."
Li Li looked at Chen Zhou and suddenly remembered something. He asked, "Chen Zhou, I remember you didn't even take the Level 4 or Level 6 exams, right?"
Chen Zhou was a little embarrassed. Although he had been improving his English, he had never taken a single English proficiency test...
Seeing that Chen Zhou didn't say anything, Zhu Mingli asked curiously, "Chen Zhou, your English level is not low, but it's impossible to recognize some of the technical terms in the Qiu Sai written test without a certain amount of experience. Don't you plan to take the English level test?"
Chen Zhou thought for a while and asked, "Can I skip the Level 4 and Level 6 exams and take the IELTS directly?"
Zhao Qiqi and the other two were all stunned.
Zhao Qiqi said immediately: "Fuck! Brother Chen is Brother Chen, why take Level 4 or 6? If you want to take an exam, take a difficult one!"
Zhu Mingli looked at Chen Zhou deeply without saying anything. Although as he said, he had made plans for the future early on, he was not very confident that he could take the IATT directly.
After all, after entering college, in order to catch up with the two perverts in the dormitory, he spent most of his time studying the textbooks of the Department of Mathematics...
Li Li said directly: "It doesn't matter whether it's level 4 or level 6. After all, whether it's level 4, level 6, or IELTS, they are all passing exams. As long as you have accumulated enough, it's fine."
As for the so-called levels 4 and 6 and their linkage with graduation, these are for ordinary people, like Chen Zhou, and can be completely ignored.
Chen Zhou nodded: "Then I will go directly to take the Yato exam."
The key to learning English as a type of linguistics lies in how to use it and in reading English literature and works.
After all, only authentic first-hand documentary materials can provide more information.
No one would like to eat something that has been chewed and then spit out by others.
The rest is irrelevant.
Therefore, Chen Zhou felt that instead of wasting time taking so many pass exams, it would be better to solve it all at once.
Chen Zhou then checked the IELTS test schedule and found that it is held every month.
This saves extra waiting time.
Chen Zhou directly signed up for the first exam next month.
That was the one on April 11th.
I just finished the IAT and took part in the QS World Championships.
The timing was perfect.
After finishing all this, Chen Zhou took out his collection of wrong questions and flipped through it.
Just as he expected, he answered all the questions correctly in the written test of this Qiu Sai.
This time Qiu Sai did not leave any trace on his collection of wrong questions.
He smiled slightly and closed the collection of wrong questions.
Chen Zhou turned off the computer, got up and went to wash up.
In the next few days, Chen Zhou returned to his previous rhythm of study and life.
In life.
Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi are jointly cultivating good living habits according to the habit-forming plan.
In study.
On the one hand, I am reviewing the textbooks for the undergraduate courses in the Department of Physics.
On the one hand, I am making various preparations for my new topic.
Although Chen Zhou took a lot of notes and selected several corresponding topics, he was not very satisfied.
How to say it, these topics never met his expectations.
Just when Chen Zhou was thinking about whether he should go to Wu Xiping to discuss the matter again, a piece of news popped into his computer.
[Proved the Sitapan conjecture in his junior year and became the youngest professor-level researcher in China at the age of 22 ]
This is not new news, but the title caught Chen Zhou's attention.
It is said that in 2011, Liu Jiayi, a junior student at a Chinese university, solved the "Sitapan Conjecture", a difficult problem that had been hemmed in for 17 years in the international mathematics community, with a paper he wrote overnight.
It shocked the international logic and mathematics community and attracted great attention from society and public opinion.
Then, when he was a senior in college, he was hired by his alma mater and became the youngest professor-level researcher in China.
Moreover, after solving the conjecture, his alma mater awarded him 1 million yuan.
Chen Zhou once again felt that knowledge is money...
As for what the Sitapan conjecture is, is it difficult?
Compared with conjectures such as Fermat's Last Theorem , it is definitely not at that level.
It is just a branch of retroactive mathematics, and retroactive mathematics is just a small branch of mathematical logic.
Although the Sitapan conjecture is not as great as Fermat's Last Theorem and other major conjectures.
But what Chen Zhou saw was that the Sitapan conjecture, a theorem that many mathematicians had been trying to solve for many years, was finally solved by Liu Jiayi, who was also an undergraduate student.
This gave him a strange feeling, and also gave him more room to fantasize about his subject.
Of course, there is also the one million bonus, which makes Chen Zhou fascinated.
"Then I'll just do a difficult one?"
Chen Zhou thought so.
Then he chuckled softly and said to himself, "Is this what I expected?"
Shaking his head slightly, Chen Zhou took out the notes he had made for the topic selection.
