People at the practical education center only want to drop out.

Third, fixed score.

Fourth, practice controlling your score.

As for your studies, that's up to you.

Then comes the test. You have three days to do several practice tests to assess your level in each subject. Don't guess; only do the questions you know how to answer.

Submit your score by the 13th.

I will assign different tasks based on your level, which will also affect the rewards you can earn by passing this exam.

The better the performance, the better the reward.

But don't cheat to get good grades.

Report a high score, because if you do, I will give you a task that is beyond your ability to complete, and there will be a penalty if you fail.

In addition, I will publish the results. If anyone finds that someone has submitted a score that does not match their level, they can report it, and then we will test them.

Next comes the fixed score.

On the 14th, I will assign a score and a range to people with different abilities based on their individual capabilities. This score and range will be your target for this midterm exam.

Let's play a game.

The closer your midterm exam score is to the target score, the better the reward; if it falls short, you will be punished.

As long as your abilities match the scores you submitted and there is no cheating, then the goals I set should be easily achieved.

For those students who could have scored high but were instead assigned low scores, your rewards will be increased as compensation.

After Bai Lan explained how to obtain the reward, the students who were confident in their grades immediately became excited.

Then, Bai Lan said, "For those students who don't get high scores and whose low scores are just normal performance, the rewards will be reduced, but it's okay. As compensation, your failure reward will be increased."

Upon hearing this, even those who didn't do well in school got excited.

Bai Lan continued, "So, never fail. As long as you don't fail, you don't need to worry about punishment."

Once you've set your goals, all you need to do in the time that follows is practice controlling your score based on the range I've set for you.

These are my strategies for dealing with this midterm exam.

At this point, someone asked, "Where does the reward for completing the task come from? Does it come from the fines of those who fail? But if no one fails, or very few fail, wouldn't the successful people not receive much of a reward at all?"

Bai Lan glanced at the other person and replied, "Rewards come from multiple sources; fines are only one aspect."

"Are there other sources?"

"As I said before, there will be both rewards and punishments."

The logic behind this applies not only to our class, but also to this school and even to the outside world.

Since the school has proposed the punishment of "expulsion if failing", there should be corresponding rewards.

If failing a grade means expulsion, then if no one in the class fails, there should be some kind of reward.

The reward will likely be class points. Those who successfully complete the task will not only share in the fines from those who fail, but will also receive a share of those points based on their respective reward weights.

In addition, the school probably doesn't want to cultivate a group of students who are just 'passing'. I think if someone in the class gets a high score, the class will probably get extra points, and the individual may also receive some reward.

If, after the test, it is found that there is a surplus in the controllable score range, some points can be reserved specifically for a few top students in the class to obtain high scores.

Top students do not participate in the fixed-point tasks. The rewards they receive are divided into two parts: a 'grand prize' for them and a reward for others who complete the tasks.

Therefore, the reward for completing the task should be quite substantial.

Bai Lan drew a series of big pie pictures, making many students unable to hold back their tears of happiness.

Actually, Bai Lan had another thought she didn't say: since this school deducts points for "low-level" "bad student behavior" like skipping class and being late, how many points would a class lose for "high-level bad student behavior" like "dropping out"?

Bai Lan didn't say anything for two reasons. First, she didn't want the students in her class to be too sensitive about the fact that someone other than herself had been expelled from school.

What if Bai Lan is about to successfully drop out of school one day, but the students in the class try to prevent him from dropping out in order to avoid losing points?

Besides, he worried that if he revealed these things, one of the worst students in the class would shamelessly use the threat of dropping out to blackmail the class.

For example: If you don't let me do this or that, I'll drop out of school and make the class lose points, etc.

Although most people wouldn't want to drop out of school if they had 60,000... no, at least 20,000 yuan to spend freely each month and could enjoy the school's high-end resources.

But what if?

The thought processes of the original Class D are beyond the comprehension of normal people.

Bai Lan herself is a living example.

Despite having over two million points in his account, and earning millions every month, Bai Lan is still trying to drop out of school.

Therefore, Bai Lan did not voice this highly reliable conjecture that would link "personal withdrawal" with "class scores," hoping that the class would treat the "withdrawal" as a "personal act" as much as possible.

"As long as you follow the rules honestly, it's actually very simple to avoid being expelled from school."

The main thing is to control the score.

The most important thing to control your score is to understand yourself and control yourself.

Controlling your score in high-score ranges is not easy, but controlling your score in low-score ranges is actually quite simple.......

After discussing strategies for dealing with the midterm exams, Bai Lan seemed to suddenly become interested and started chatting with the others about her tips for controlling her grades:

"Just do the questions you're most confident about, and then check them repeatedly..."

"If you still don't have enough points after completing the questions you're confident about, try to get some partial credit on the longer, more challenging questions. Try not to touch the multiple-choice questions that are full of uncertainty..."

.......

That's all I can think of for now. I'll share more in the group later...

"If any of you have any tips or tricks, feel free to share them."

At this point, Bai Lan mischievously mentioned the name of a certain expert at controlling scores: "Ayanokouji-kun, do you want to share?"

"Ah, no, no, I'm just an ordinary, unremarkable high school student. I don't have any special skills," Ayanokouji immediately declined.

Ayanokouji, who was called upon by Bai Lan, declined, but those who were not called upon by Bai Lan stood up voluntarily.

He was a thin boy who wore glasses.

His name is Yukimura Teruhiko. He is one of the few top students in the class and one of the three students who scored above 90 in the last quiz.

Yukimura is a top student, but he is not a deep thinker. His emotions and thoughts are all written on his face. Like most high school students, he also hopes to become a star in the spotlight.

Yukimura knew he was bad at everything except taking exams.

When Yukimura discovered that his only skill had become the focus of class discussion, he immediately realized that his chance to show off had arrived!

Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but act like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, seizing the opportunity to show off his strengths and become the brightest star in the class.

After Yukimura took over the conversation, Bai Lan wasn't upset about having her spotlight stolen.

In fact, this was exactly Bai Lan's goal.

Why would Bai Lan be interested in sharing her scoring techniques with them?

Bai Lan told them so much just to attract their attention and keep them from thinking about anything else until they signed the agreement.

There's no way around it; the thinking of this group from the "original Class D" is unpredictable and erratic.

Although they have been persuaded by Bai Lan to temporarily reach a consensus and decide to abide by the rules.

But if we give them some time to let their imaginations run wild, things might get complicated.

Although Bai Lan was confident that she could suppress them by then, there would still be some trouble.

Therefore, spending a few more minutes chatting with them is a better solution.

However, as Bai Lan chatted, she discovered that those people were so focused on themselves that the signing of the agreement had slowed down.

At this rate, we might not finish signing by the time the next class starts!

Therefore, he planned to steer the conversation and let someone else take over the speaking.

After Yukimura took over speaking from Shirai and attracted the class's attention, Shirai sent an email to Hirata and Kushida, asking them to find various reasons to urge the people signing their names to hurry up and sign.

With Hirata and Kushida's subtle urging, the signing process became much faster.

Soon, everyone in the class had signed both contracts.

Bai Lan carefully put away her two copies of the contract.

Once these two contracts were signed, the doors to their bus were completely welded shut, and no one could get off.

Even if there is a traitor in the class, as long as that traitor is still in the class and can receive the living expenses obtained through Bai Lan's 620 points, he has to hand over the points to Bai Lan.

After investing such a huge amount of resources, the consequences of breaking the rules and betraying the class have increased significantly.

When the cost of betrayal becomes unacceptable to them, then "loyalty" becomes a matter of course.

In this way, Bai Lan's set of class rules has truly been stabilized, and will become more and more stable in the future, because as time goes by, the sunk costs will increase day by day, and everyone will become more and more loyal.

Under these rules, driven by self-interest and pressured by punishment, the entire class will become a terrifying war machine.

Everyone becomes a cog in the machine under these rules.

Once a tank starts moving, it's hard to stop, whether it's the enemy or yourself.

Even after Bai Lan leaves, this class can rely on the momentum constantly built up on the tank to keep charging forward. Who knows, they might actually have a chance to make it into Class A?

Thinking of this, Bai Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

He reaffirmed one thing: although he had taken a lot of points from this class, and the class would lose some points in the future due to his withdrawal, he had ultimately given more to the class.

Therefore, he still doesn't owe this class anything.

very good!

117. The Turning Point for Longyuan Class; New Directions for Dropping Out

While Bai Lan continued to hold the reform meeting, the meeting was still being held.

The Longyuan Class has also accomplished a major event.

After Sakagami finished speaking, Ryuen, looking arrogant as if he was about to do something extraordinary, stood up from his seat and said:

"I have some good news to share! I've managed to get Bai Lan from Class B to help our class."

I've learned from there how to ensure the whole class passes the midterms safely, avoids expulsion, and even earns class points by taking advantage of the exam.
