Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 55: Examination is the fastest way to get into the state
As Chen Zhou expected, Wang Xuehui left the classroom before the evening study bell rang.
Then, he brought back a stack of test papers.
If Chen Zhou saw it correctly, he felt that it was indeed a stack, and it felt very thick.
Wang Xuehui knocked on the blackboard and said, "Tonight's English listening test will start in half an hour. Listen to the questions on the test paper in my hand. In addition, all the evening self-study classes tonight will be connected, and the tests will be in English, mathematics, and comprehensive science. If you need to go to the bathroom, go quickly. We will hand out the papers in five minutes."
"No way..." A wailing sounded in the classroom, but everyone could only accept it.
Chen Zhou put away the English test paper he had just finished and waited quietly for the test to begin.
Zhang Yifan saw Chen Zhou put away the paper and asked, "Did you finish it so quickly?"
"Yeah." Chen Zhou nodded, "What's wrong?"
"So fast?" Zhang Yifan asked in surprise.
Chen Zhou replied: "I had already written the reading comprehension before you came, and when I saw Lao Wang, I knew there would be a test, so I sped up."
Zhang Yifan looked at the English paper he had taken out, and he had only written half of it...
Chen Zhou also noticed that he was writing an English paper and joked, "What? Did you sign up for a liberal arts class during the winter break? Why are you taking the initiative to write an English paper?"
Zhang Yifan: “…”
Five minutes passed in a flash.
Wang Xuehui handed the divided papers to the first student in each row and passed them to the students behind in turn.
The mixed exam officially begins.
After Chen Zhou got the test paper, he first browsed through it all, paying special attention to the number of questions on each paper.
After all, the evening self-study time plus the usual listening time is only a little over four hours in total. If we really follow the number of questions in a normal test paper, I guess no one can finish it.
Fortunately, the number of questions in this mixed test is probably based on the evening self-study time.
The number of questions in English is normal, while the number of questions in Mathematics and Comprehensive Science has been reduced accordingly.
Especially the number of questions in comprehensive science is much smaller than that in normal exams.
After thinking about it, Chen Zhou put mathematics and comprehensive science aside and chose to do English first.
On the one hand, I was just doing English questions and it felt pretty good.
On the other hand, there are only more than 20 minutes left before the English listening test. If I do the math and science exams first, the feeling of disconnection from stopping in the middle will be very uncomfortable.
Of course, there are also many people who choose to do mathematics or comprehensive science first. They should start with the subject they are most confident in, or they may not consider the sense of discontinuity.
But Chen Zhou really doesn't like the feeling that his train of thought while solving problems will be interrupted at any time.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he chose the English test paper as soon as he came back.
Turning his head to glance at Zhang Yifan, Chen Zhou saw that he also chose to do English first.
Well, in this regard, we all think alike.
Zhang Yifan felt something and looked up at Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou smiled slightly, gave him an encouraging look, then lowered his head and started working on the test paper.
What can you do with more than 20 minutes? If you were in the exam room, how many questions do you think you could answer?
Chen Zhou went from English single-choice fill-in-the-blanks to cloze test. As soon as he finished the cloze test, Wang Xuehui reminded him that he would start listening to the listening comprehension part.
Chen Zhou nodded with satisfaction. The timing was just right.
It has to be said that the improvement in his grades has made Chen Zhou more efficient in answering questions, and has also indirectly enabled him to control the time spent on answering questions more accurately.
Chen Zhou turned to the listening part of the English test paper and began to look at the listening questions.
When taking the English listening test, you must read the questions before listening.
The questions often contain many key points. If you listen to the listening comprehension passage accordingly, it will be very helpful for you to understand the comprehension.
Chen Zhou listened and circled the answers.
After listening to one section, look at the questions of the next section immediately.
This is also a very important factor in answering questions. When listening to the listening comprehension, do not linger on what you have already heard. Hurry up and look at the next question to prepare for the next listening section.
Because listening is different from other questions, it’s gone after you finish listening, so you must make a choice at the first time.
Once you get too caught up in it, everything else will go haywire, unless it’s the last recording.
The listening part ended quickly. Chen Zhou briefly recalled and selected the options for the last question. Then he turned to the reading comprehension part and continued answering questions.
He felt that the entire English test paper was quite simple and there were not many vocabulary words that were beyond the syllabus.
It’s just right for getting into the learning state.
After Chen Zhou finished the English test, he looked at his watch. It was 7:38.
It only took a little over an hour, which is quite efficient.
Chen Zhou calculated that there were less than three hours left until the end of evening self-study, which should be enough time.
After thinking for a while , he grabbed the math test paper and continued answering the questions.
After finishing only two questions, Chen Zhou picked up the test paper and looked through it.
"This paper is quite interesting..."
He found that, unexpectedly, function-related questions accounted for a large proportion of the test paper.
There were two function questions in the problem set, which was rare, and one of them was the final question.
Chen Zhou couldn't help but glance at Wang Xuehui who was sitting on the podium. What a good teacher who provided a whetstone!
Then let’s take this opportunity to test the results of this winter vacation!
Chen Zhou didn't think any more and just focused on doing the questions.
The overall difficulty of the mathematics test paper is the same as that of the English test paper, which is not too difficult. Both are good papers that help students quickly enter the learning state.
When Chen Zhou was solving the two function problems, he chose two different methods, or ways, to solve the two problems respectively.
One question was solved using common middle school knowledge and a step-by-step method, and the other directly applied advanced mathematics knowledge.
Although Wang Xuehui had clearly stated that knowledge of advanced mathematics could not be used to solve the problem, Chen Zhou still wanted to see if he could use the knowledge of advanced mathematics directly. As long as he did not make any mistakes, Wang Xuehui would give him any points.
Now that mathematics is solved, the only thing left is science.
Since the number of questions in the comprehensive science exam was reduced, Chen Zhou was able to solve them faster, from physics to chemistry and then to biology, one by one.
At this point, all the problems with the mixed exam papers have been solved.
Chen Zhou glanced at the time and saw that there was still more than half an hour left before the evening self-study class ended.
He briefly checked the test paper again, suddenly chuckled and shook his head.
He really didn't know how much effort these teachers put into coming up with so many test papers.
The test paper cannot be too difficult. If it is too difficult, the students will be in a bad mood just after returning from their studies.
Of course, it can't be too simple. Being too simple is no different from giving it away for free. It requires some level of skill.
The number of questions cannot be too many. If there are too many, students will feel aggrieved. It should be just right.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhou couldn't help but give a thumbs up to these teachers for their good intentions.
But I have to admire that exams are indeed the fastest way to get into the learning state.
After such a chaotic exam, I guess everyone’s memory cells have woken up and they will quickly return to the intense review state before the New Year.
What Chen Zhou thought was all right, except that he was wrong about one thing. This exam was just a prelude to more intensive review later.
Chen Zhou put the test paper away and raised his hand to see if he could hand it in early. He thought it was unlikely.
They will probably ask you to put the test paper aside, not collect your answer sheet, and then let you study on your own.
Because sitting at the podium is boring, Wang Xuehui is now strolling in the classroom corridor, supervising the exam in real time to understand the students' winter vacation status.
Seeing Chen Zhou raise his hand, he walked over, glanced at Chen Zhou, took the answer sheet, and then motioned Chen Zhou to study on his own.
Chen Zhou was stunned: "Okay, the test paper was indeed handed in early, but I still have to study on my own."
