Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 8 Class Placement Test in Progress
The alarm clock rang on time, and Chen Zhou stretched. It felt so good not to have to get up early to study!
Although there are only two days of exams.
The time for the class placement test is consistent with that of the Anhui Provincial College Entrance Examination.
The exam lasts for two days. On the first day, there is Chinese in the morning and Mathematics in the afternoon. On the second day, there is Comprehensive Science (Liberal Arts) in the morning and English in the afternoon.
Chen Zhou's examination room happened to be in the Science (6) class, and the invigilator was Xu Shaowen.
When he walked into the examination room, almost all the seats were occupied.
Everyone is looking through Chinese review materials, preparing for the exam.
Chen Zhou glanced at the time. There was still more than half an hour before the exam started. He muttered to himself, "I squeezed your time for a whole week, and you guys are still paying attention."
He really didn't feel like reading anymore, this week of being bombarded with thoughts was a bit difficult.
Why did you come so early? Why don’t you take a good rest? You don’t know how to combine work and rest at all!
Moreover, Chen Zhou felt that if he crammed too much information into his brain in such a short time before the exam, his mind would definitely be confused when the exam came.
Chen Zhou found his seat according to the seat number and sat down, then looked out the window.
The poplar trees are lush and green in summer, and the fallen leaves drift freely in the wind.
"What's wrong? Are you daydreaming before the exam?"
A familiar voice called Chen Zhou back to his senses, and he looked up at Xu Shaowen awkwardly.
“Do your best in the exam. Even if you don’t want to be in the top few classes, you have to stay in Class (6), right?” Xu Shaowen said and walked away.
Chen Zhou looked at Xu Shaowen's back and murmured, "I really can't argue with the system in public places. I'm scared to death!"
There were still ten minutes left before the exam. Xu Shaowen cleared his throat and said, "Now we will start distributing the test papers. After you get the test papers, don't rush to write them. You can start doing the questions when the time comes. First check if there are any unclear or damaged parts on the test papers, and fill in your name and admission number."
After saying that, he and another invigilator began to distribute the test papers.
This opening remark is similar to the college entrance examination. From the first exam, Maochang High School has been preparing for the connection with the college entrance examination.
After getting the test paper, Chen Zhou checked it once. After confirming that the test paper was not damaged or unclear, he filled in his information and waited for the command "Start taking the test."
This step is very necessary. If you don't check the test paper and find problems with it while writing, it will seriously delay your time to answer the questions!
"Why does this test paper feel familiar?"
He just couldn't write down the answers with a pen, but that didn't stop Chen Zhou from starting to do the questions carefully. The more he looked at the questions, the more he felt a sense of déjà vu.
There were a few multiple-choice questions in particular, and I seemed to have done them several times using real college entrance examination questions and mock test papers.
"Begin answering the questions."
The hour hand and minute hand were at 90 degrees, and Xu Shaowen's voice sounded on time.
It seemed that everyone was worried that they would lag behind others. As soon as Xu Shaowen finished speaking, the rustling sound of pen tips rubbing against paper was heard in the examination room.
Moreover, there was a particularly uniform movement in the examination room, where students flipped through the test papers to find the questions and filled in the answers with their eyes closed.
"Shit... I suddenly remembered that this is the question for this year's Chinese language college entrance examination!" Chen Zhou, who had looked at the test paper over and over again three times and hadn't started writing yet, finally reacted.
I don't know who made the test paper, but in today's Chinese test for the class placement test, the original questions from this year's college entrance examination were used directly, at a ratio of half the score.
For those students who are repeating the college entrance examination, these questions are extremely familiar. Only two months have passed, who doesn’t know who?
That's why when the command to answer the question was given, everyone responded in unison.
After looking at the candidates who were writing their answers, Chen Zhou thought for a moment and turned the test paper to the composition question.
The composition topic was not the original one from the college entrance examination. After carefully reading the topic, Chen Zhou thought for a while, picked up the pen and started writing on the answer sheet.
Such a large part of the original questions at the beginning can be answered without much thinking, and they account for such a large proportion of the marks, so isn't the focus of this exam the composition questions?
This is the conclusion Chen Zhou came to after his own analysis. He believes that only by writing the composition first can one have good ideas, get high scores on the composition, and buy time for other questions. In short, there are many benefits.
Well, that’s what he usually does, and composition has always been a small highlight of his.
As Chen Zhou was writing, he felt something in his heart. He looked up and saw Xu Shaowen standing next to him again.
This time it was Xu Shaowen's turn to smile awkwardly. He was a Chinese teacher, and when he saw Chen Zhou starting to write an essay, he immediately became interested and quietly walked behind Chen Zhou.
As I read on, I didn't expect that this guy could write so well. He could quote from classics, poems and songs. Especially the line "How can you know heaven if you haven't been to hell" was a bit interesting, so I accidentally read on for a while longer.
Signaling Chen Zhou to continue, Xu Shaowen slowly left and continued to inspect the examination room.
After finishing the composition, Chen Zhou found that there was only one hour left.
Fortunately, there was enough time, but I didn’t expect that he would spend an hour and a half to write the composition. This was the first time.
Flipping through the test paper, Chen Zhou began to print the answers to the remaining questions on the answer sheet based on his memory.
11:28 , two minutes before the end of the exam, Chen Zhou handed in his paper early and left with a smile.
I just regret that this is not a test at the end of the semester! Otherwise, it will definitely give the system a big surprise!
The afternoon math test doesn’t start until three o’clock, so the school requires students to return to class at noon to study as usual.
When Chen Zhou finished his lunch and returned to the classroom, quite a few people had already arrived, all of them happily discussing the morning's Chinese exam.
Returning to his seat, Chen Zhou took out his collection of wrong questions, which contained the wrong questions left over from reviewing the math paper for this year's college entrance examination during the summer vacation. He planned to take another look at it to get familiar with it.
After all, if Chinese is like this, I’m not sure about math too!
"this is?"
Chen Zhou, who thought he was seeing things, turned to the end of the collection of wrong answers and saw the questions he had answered incorrectly in the Chinese language test this morning, including the appreciation of ancient poems and the full text of reading comprehension!
"What the hell, you wrote down all the wrong questions right after the test? You're really awesome!"
This collection of wrong questions gave Chen Zhou so many surprises that he quickly calculated his test scores according to it.
"Without the composition, it would be around 70 or 80 points, and I guess everyone would get the same score. It seems my analysis is correct, so it all depends on the composition. You have to give some support to my little highlights." After calculating the score, Chen Zhou praised himself for his wisdom.
After a while, Zhang Yifan came, and as soon as he sat down, he pulled Chen Zhou aside and started talking about the Chinese test paper.
Chen Zhou suddenly asked, "How's the composition?"
"What?" Zhang Yifan was stunned and replied, "How should I know? Can you estimate the score for a Chinese composition?"
The classroom was quiet until Xu Shaowen came to work.
At 2:30 p.m., Xu Shaowen opened the gate and let the students go to their own examination rooms.
Chen Zhou waited until the classroom became quiet again before he went to his exam seat and sat down, quietly waiting for this afternoon's math test.
