Chapter 1937, College Entrance Exam 2
"I might follow my second uncle to become a sailor at sea after graduation. I have always liked boats and the sea."

"When I come back from overseas, I will bring you some overseas specialties."

Ouyang Qing said with a look of disappointment.

"Haha, that's fine~"

Yang Huai nodded happily.

The two also agreed that even if they are separated, they will get together frequently. If they are in the capital, they will get together on weekends. If they are not in the capital, they will exchange letters frequently in the future.

Soon, it was time for the college entrance examination.

The college entrance examination system in this era is similar to the imperial examination system, but there is no separate test booth, and the test is still held in the classroom, but the distance between them is relatively far away, and the test is stricter. If found, they will be severely punished.

Although it is not so serious and strict compared with the imperial examinations of the imperial court, if these things happen, the punishment is still very serious. If a teacher is involved, they will be escorted to the government directly, and they will be punished according to the imperial examinations, plagiarism, etc. Sentenced for the crime.

In this era, examinations are very sacred and solemn. This is true of imperial examinations, and the same is true of new learning examinations. No one is allowed to defile.

During the exam, the new schools here and there are very solemnly arranged. Candidates are only allowed to enter the exam room after they have been checked.

As soon as the bell rang for the start of the exam, everyone started to do the questions seriously.

The students of later generations, more or less, have special practice questions, and they have already practiced innocence before the exam.

But in this era, there are no special practice questions at all. Everyone usually goes to class and does the questions in the textbook.

So during this exam, these questions are basically questions that have not been done before. Whether you can get a good result in the exam depends purely on your talent.

And in order to widen the score difference and reflect the level, the new test questions are often difficult, not too difficult. Only those students with real talents and good talents can get ideal results in them.

This is also what Liu Jin meant.

In later generations, with the expansion of university enrollment, a large number of students were admitted to universities, but the quality of teaching did not keep up. At the same time, the employment arrangements for college students were completely market-oriented.

College students are rotten and worthless. Many of them actually waste their time and energy on it. They are not strict enough, and they are completely stocked.

Liu Jin thinks that there is no need for so many people to go to college at all, only some real geniuses need to go to further studies.

This ratio can be controlled at about one-tenth, that is, only one out of ten people can go to college, and those who can be admitted are naturally real talents.

Therefore, if the questions are difficult, it is not the kind of examination system of later generations. What is needed is to screen out real talents and geniuses.

Those who don’t know how to study should go to work hard, and they can also contribute to society and live a good life. There is no need to waste time and energy on reading.

Just like the current imperial examinations.

Thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, more than 2 people took the exam, and only more than 500 people were admitted. This is very cruel.

But this is the status quo of the imperial examinations in Ming Dynasty. Daming does not need so many Jinshi and officials, so naturally it does not need to admit so many people.

What's more, only when the number of people admitted is small can the importance of the imperial examination be shown and the value of the carp jumping over the dragon's gate can be reflected.

Just like in later generations before the expansion of college enrollment, those who can go to college are rare. The real favored ones will also be assigned jobs after graduation. You don't need to worry about your own life, so the number naturally doesn't need to be so much.

Now the college entrance examination in Ming Dynasty is almost the same. There are many people who take the exam, but few people are admitted, and the competition is extremely fierce.

In the examination room of Xincheng No. [-] Middle School in the South District, although it was already winter and the weather was cold, all the candidates in the examination room were sweating and scratching their heads.

This year's questions are really difficult, especially the math test that is going on right now. I thought it was easy when I learned it, but it becomes very difficult and difficult when I take the test.

Let these candidates scratch their heads one by one, and the test is extremely irritable.

Of course, there are also a small number of gifted students who are talented in mathematics. Although the questions are difficult, they still pass the exam easily and with ease.

Sometimes people have to sigh the thing of talent, it is really pure, some people are born good at learning, good at mathematics, and their logical thinking ability is very powerful.

In a blink of an eye, the three-day college entrance examination is over.

With the ringing of the bell, the invigilator stood up and shouted, and all the candidates stood up in unison. Even if they wrote the key points, they had to put down the pens in their hands and could not write another word.

The examinees walked out of the examination room one after another in frustration, and couldn't help but wry smiles when they saw each other.

This year's topic is difficult, as you can tell by everyone's expressions.

"Yang Huai, how did you do in the exam?"

"This year's topic is really too difficult. Even my favorite biology, I think it is very difficult. This time I must have failed the exam."

Ouyang Qing saw her deskmate Yang Huai at the school gate, and asked quickly.

"This year, it is indeed very difficult, but you don't have to worry, it is difficult for everyone, and it is not difficult for you alone."

Yang Huai nodded. He felt that he had done well in the exam and had demonstrated his own level. There should be no problem at all in getting into the Imperial College of Technology of his choice.

"I hope so. If I don't pass the exam, I can only go to run a boat. My second uncle has already returned. If I don't pass the exam, I will go to the Japanese country to exercise this year, and I will be next year." Going to the West."

Ouyang Qing looked very unconfident.

A week later, it will be the day when the college entrance examination results will be announced.

In the entire No. [-] Middle School, before the list was posted, a large number of students and parents had already gathered here, and at the same time, many newspaper reporters also came to join in the fun.

Although the college entrance examination cannot be compared with the imperial examination, it is becoming more and more important now, and it has attracted more and more attention.

Old learners criticize new learners for heresy and third-rate things, but new learners know that the questions in the college entrance examination are really difficult, and there is no such thing as easy. Those who can get high scores in the exam are also true. talent.

"Come, come~"

At this time, with someone shouting out, the teacher of the school took out a red list and quickly posted it on the school publicity wall.

The above contains the scores of all the students who participated in the college entrance examination in the third middle school this time and their rankings in the capital. You can apply for your favorite colleges and universities based on these scores and rankings.

Colleges and universities will take into account the situation of students applying for their own schools, and recruit students according to their scores.

In the new school, everything depends on the score, which is very different from the old school.

The old school judges the pros and cons by the essay, but the essay largely depends on the examiner’s preference. If you meet one that suits your taste, you will naturally rate it high. .

Therefore, during the exam, everyone will write some articles according to the examiner's personal preferences, so that they can get extra points.

New learning is different. Except for those who write articles in Chinese studies, the others are all rigid answers. The personal preference of the marking teacher has no effect. It depends on the scores.

"Wow~ Someone can get more than 700 points in the exam, what a genius!"

"Who is it? Is it Feng Yun from class one?"

"No, no, it's Wang Zhihui from class two."

"Wang Zhihui, that's no wonder. He has always been the top three student in our third middle school, and his grades are very good."

"Yang Huai from the third class also scored more than 700 points, only a few points lower than Wang Zhihui. How did the two of them pass the test, and they managed to score more than 700 points. The total score is only 800 points."

"A good man is a good man, otherwise how can he be called a good man?"

"What is the cut-off score for admission this year?"

"It's 580 points!"

"I'll go, how difficult is the subject, and there is still an admission score of 580 points, which is too high."

"Yeah, yeah, it takes 580 points to get online for such a difficult question. This score is too high."

"Isn't it? This year, there are less than 580 talents with a score of 200 or above in our third middle school."

With the posting of the red list, there are many joys and sorrows.

"Yang Huai, congratulations, you have scored more than 700 points in the test, and you can choose the school and major you like."

Ouyang Qing was very disappointed, because without accident, he failed the ranking. He only scored 540 points in the test, which was still a few points away from the score line.

"Hmm~"

"I've also seen your score. You can take the self-enrollment exam for colleges and universities and give it a try."

Yang Huai nodded and said.

"Forget it, I've decided, I'm going to run a boat with my second uncle."

"The world is big, and I wanted to see it very early on. I just happened to be able to travel around the world by boat."

Ouyang Qing smiled and shook his head and said, he has already decided to go sailing with his second uncle.
