The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 9 The First Monthly Exam

[2019-2020 academic year, first semester final exam results for high school students]

【Xiao Yi: Chinese 101, Mathematics 135, English 115, Physics 78, Chemistry 72, Biology 79, total score 580, grade ranking 99. 】

This result was Xiao Yi's final exam result for the first semester of his second year of high school, and this result...

How should I put it? It's a bit unsatisfactory.

The total score is 580, ranking in the top 100 in the grade. This result is relatively good, but the problem is that "good" is obviously far from enough to meet the selection criteria for the junior class.

If you want to enter the junior class, you have to be "extremely outstanding" to be qualified. At least among your peers, you should be ranked among the top, right?
Liu Bin felt a little surprised. Xiao Yi could obviously solve the competition questions he set easily, so why did his test scores not work so well?
At first, he thought that Xiao Yi should be a top student. Even if he was not an all-round top student, he should at least be the best in mathematics.

He asked, "Are you sure that this Xiao Yi is the same Xiao Yi?"

Luo Penghua shook his head: "This is definitely not wrong. The result shows that the student is Xiao Yi from our Science Class 3. There is no other student named Xiao Yi in our second year of high school."

Liu Bin asked again: "So... there is something wrong with your score system?"

Qin Song also waved his hand at this time and said: "This is definitely not the case. We have checked these results and there will be no problems."

Next to him, Chen Liang stroked his chin and asked, "Then Xiao Yi's grades... don't seem to be as good as expected."

He knew that Class Three was not a top class, so he thought that Xiao Yi was the kind of student who was not in the top class but whose grades were completely comparable to those in the top class, or the kind of student who was extremely good at mathematics.

But now... this result is a little bit hard to understand.

However, Luo Penghua explained: "This result was two months ago, and according to my observation, since the beginning of this semester, Xiao Yi has become very hardworking and serious in his studies, so I think... we should treat Xiao Yi with a new attitude."

Qin Song also explained for Xiao Yi: "Yes, a man who has been away for three days will be looked at with new eyes. We cannot judge Xiao Yi now by his performance two months ago."

At least we can't let Liu Bin think that Xiao Yi's past performance was not good and give up the opportunity to recommend this young talent in the junior class to USTC.

Liu Bin laughed at this time, "Don't be nervous, teachers. I didn't raise this question because I think Xiao Yi is incapable. After all, he did solve those math problems, and the answers to those problems are basically not available on the Internet, so he must have solved them on his own."

"I will submit his name list after I go back. With my recommendation, he will definitely pass the review. Then our school will issue him a college entrance examination qualification certificate to take this year's college entrance examination. As long as his grades are up to standard and he can pass the test for our junior class later, there is no reason for our junior class to reject him."

"That's good, that's good." Qin Song breathed a sigh of relief. That's all that's good.

However, at this moment Luo Penghua thought about it and then said: "Professor Liu, maybe this is the way."

"Next week is our first monthly exam of this semester. Maybe then we can see how Xiao Yi performs in this exam."

"Maybe he can give us a surprise?"

Luo Penghua's words made the eyes of several people present light up.

"Yes, this method is good." Qin Song expressed his support.

Chen Liang also nodded in agreement.

Liu Bin also nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do as Mr. Luo said and take a look at how Xiao Yi performs in next week's monthly exam. I will not submit Xiao Yi's information for now, and I will submit it together after the results come out!"

"it is good!"

After making the decision, the teachers didn't say anything more. If Xiao Yi was really that kind of genius, then next week's exam would surely not disappoint them!
……

Xiao Yi didn't know that several teachers had decided to take a look at his monthly exam results next week.

Luo Penghua did not tell him in order to avoid affecting his mentality. The next day, Xiao Yi also received a call from home, confirming from Xiao Yi whether he was really favored by the professor of the University of Science and Technology.

If they hadn't confirmed with Xiao Yi, they would have suspected that yesterday's call was a scam.

After getting Xiao Yi's affirmative answer, Xiao's father and mother were very surprised.

For parents, nothing makes them happier than their children's excellence.

Obviously, Xiao Yi, who was chosen by the junior class, has made them feel proud of their child from the bottom of their hearts.

The direct benefit this brought to Xiao Yi was that his weekly living expenses increased directly from 200 yuan to 300 yuan, allowing him to eat better food at school.

The phone call lasted nearly half an hour before the call was hung up.

After finishing the call, Xiao Yi went right back to the classroom and continued his studies.

Soon, a week passed.

The first monthly exam of this semester has begun.

……

Outside the fourth examination room.

The school's examination room arrangements were based on the results of the last exam, with 30 people in each examination room. So the students in the fourth examination room were the 91st to 120th ranked in the last exam, and Xiao Yi, who ranked 99th in the last exam, appeared here.

The exam hasn't officially started yet and the candidates are still outside the examination room.

Xiao Yi's deskmate Chen Wei ranked 109th in the last exam, so the two of them were in the same examination room. At this moment, they were standing together and chatting.

"Who do you think will be the student admitted to the junior class? Shen Xing or Wu Ziyu? I think these two are the most likely candidates."

Chen Wei glanced in the direction of the first examination room and said to Xiao Yi.

What happened in the senior year last week has naturally spread among the freshmen and sophomores after such a long time. However, it is now basically clear that the student is a sophomore. As for which class he is from and what his name is, there are various reports. In addition, by the time the news got from the senior year to the sophomore year, it had already spread countless times.

So, no one knows who this student is.

Xiao Yi shrugged: "Maybe neither?"

"That must be someone from the first examination room, right?"

"maybe."

Xiao Yi did not comment.

The first examination room...

Maybe he will get in the next exam?
"Now let's go into the examination room."

The invigilator walked out of the examination room and shouted to the students outside.

Afterwards, all the candidates began to enter the venue in an orderly manner.
