#5 - Unexpected exam

And so, as the temperature gradually rose, the days until the college entrance exam grew closer.

Every year at this time, the senior high school students were making their final pre-exam sprint. Along with them, their teachers and parents were also nervously offering their silent support from behind.

In mid-April, the weather in Beihai had already begun to warm up, and the spring breeze felt like a gentle hand caressing you.

Fang Yuan was not in the mood to enjoy the few days of weather that everyone loved each year.

At this moment, he was sitting in the classroom, looking at the materials in his hand, deep in thought about something.

Time went back to the end of the first class when Fang Yuan's class teacher, Teacher Jiang Hao, called him and a few other students to the office.

"Take a look for yourselves. This is this year's independent enrollment brochure for our province. I think this is a particularly good opportunity for you," Teacher Jiang said to them earnestly, pointing to a stack of materials on his desk.

"For students like you with middle-to-upper academic performance, this is an opportunity for you to aim for famous universities. Although there aren't many options to choose from, there are also famous universities like Beihai University of Technology for you to choose from. Most importantly, it doesn't conflict with your college entrance exam and can be regarded as a mock exam before the college entrance exam."

"This is the independent enrollment brochure for the province. Inside, there are the schools you can choose from and the specific registration requirements, procedures, and so on. In a moment, you can take it to the copy room to make copies, and then take it home to look at with your parents. If you intend to register, come to my office during the big break after the second class tomorrow, and I will discuss the specific matters with you."

After saying that, Teacher Jiang Hao picked up the materials on the desk and handed them to the student standing next to him.

"Alright, you can go now. I still have a class in a moment. If you have anything, you can come to the office to find me after I finish class."

Teacher Jiang waved his hand and said to Fang Yuan and the others, who were lowering their heads as if they had made a mistake.

During our high school years, no matter how rebellious we were, we always had some natural fear and respect for teachers. They could always calm our restless hearts.

Returning the focus to the protagonist, looking at the first school on the application form—Beihai University of Technology—this was a famous university that ranked among the top in the country.

This independent enrollment was a recruitment by universities in each region only for students in their respective regions, greatly reducing the number of competitors. This was the so-called regional protection policy.

Fang Yuan clenched his fist, secretly making a decision in his heart.

"With my current grades, I will barely exceed the admission score of Beihai University of Technology at most during the college entrance exam. If something unexpected happens, I may not even reach the admission score of Beihai University of Technology. Since there is such an opportunity, maybe I can give it a try. If I succeed, it will also be a backup plan for my college entrance exam. If I fail, it doesn't matter. There is still time before the college entrance exam, and maybe I will do better!"

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's mood gradually calmed down, and he continued to devote himself to studying.

"Now that I've decided to participate in this exam, in addition to the necessary application materials, before the exam time is set, I must make good use of the remaining 5 bottles of memory potion. Perhaps they can really bring me unexpected surprises!"

Fang Yuan used 2 of the 7 bottles of memory potion he had previously exchanged in a few days, all on rest days. The most recent bottle was only used up yesterday, so that he could maximize the effectiveness of the memory potion.

Fang Yuan planned to use up the remaining 5 bottles of memory potion before mid-May, so that he could continue to exchange memory potions with the remaining 20 points before the college entrance exam in order to make up for his shortcomings.

The college entrance exam tests a comprehensive level of knowledge. As long as you have a weakness in one subject, even if you are good at other subjects, it will be of no help.

Finally, when applying for schools, most schools' criteria are your total score, not your individual subject scores. Those students who are admitted exceptionally are a very small minority, and the vast majority of students still fall short in a certain subject.

From the first time he used the memory potion until now, Fang Yuan spent 8 days improving his experience in each subject to its current level.

"Mathematics: lv3 771 / 1000

Chinese: lv3 842 / 1000

English: lv3 474 / 1000

Physics: lv3 874 / 1000

Chemistry: lv3 863 / 1000

Biology: lv3 910 / 1000 "

In the past few days, Fang Yuan has gained a total of 272 experience points. Among them, what made him most satisfied was the improvement in English. With the help of memory potions and his own efforts, his English experience increased by 129 points, and he was about to break through the 500 experience mark. Other subjects have also made considerable progress, only the progress of biology is slow, because within the scope of high school knowledge, Fang Yuan's level in biology is already extremely high. To go further, it takes a long time to polish.

Most importantly, in these 8 days, he focused his energy mainly on the other subjects. For him, the speed of gaining experience in biology was far less than that of other subjects, and before the college entrance exam, he needed to bring the experience of other subjects to the level of biology, at least not too far behind.

In the recent quizzes, Fang Yuan's performance brightened the eyes of the teachers in each subject. Especially the class teacher Jiang Hao.

For Teacher Jiang, having one more student in the class exceeding the key university admission score line was his achievement. Of course, it can't be said to be so utilitarian. The fundamental purpose of the teacher is still to think for the students, and everything is based on the students.

Another person who felt very gratified was the English teacher Wu Hong. Although Teacher Wu had a fiery temper and a huge voice, she cared very much about her students. She was always proud of her students when they made progress.

And so, Fang Yuan spent this day in entanglement.

The next day, Teacher Jiang Hao's office

"You've decided to apply for this, right? I'll tell you in advance that this independent enrollment is divided into two stages. The first stage is that after you pass the review, you will go to the corresponding university for an academic level test. The second stage is the normal college entrance examination process. Only if both scores meet the standards can you apply."

Teacher Jiang earnestly explained to the several students who came to the office in a hurry

"Ah! Even if you pass, you still have to take the college entrance exam? Isn't it direct admission?"

Several students whispered to each other, and Fang Yuan also looked at Teacher Jiang eagerly, waiting for his answer.

Teacher Jiang looked at them and shook his head

"That's right, even if you pass the university's academic level test, you still need to participate in the college entrance exam! That's why I said it won't delay your college entrance exam."

"Of course, it's not like there are no benefits at all, otherwise I wouldn't have let you participate in this independent enrollment."

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

After saying that, Teacher Jiang paused

"The benefit is that after your college entrance exam scores are released, combined with your situation in the independent enrollment universities you each participated in, it will lower your admission score line. According to last year's situation, it will be reduced by at least 20 points."

"Hey! This is not bad! Fang Yuan, I think this is worth a try. In terms of my grades, if it is reduced by 20 points, I can also try Beihai University of Technology!" A chubby little fat man with a smiling face smiled and poked Fang Yuan, whispering to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan turned his head and looked over. It turned out to be Qian Xiaoxiao, who sat behind him. Everyone called him Qian Xiaoxiao. No matter what, he always had a smiling face.

Usually, the two of them have a close relationship and are very good friends.

"I think so too. If you follow this strategy, Beihai University of Technology is not particularly difficult to get into for you."

"Hehe, I think so too."

Don't look at this guy like this, his academic performance is really good. Every time he takes the exam, his score can be more than 600 points, and sometimes he can even exceed 620 points.

Even if he doesn't go through this independent enrollment, with his own strength, Qian Xiaoxiao can also reach the admission score of Beihai University of Technology, but it is not very reliable.

"Alright, if you have anything, wait until you go back and talk about it. Have you all read the materials I gave you? Among the several schools you can choose from, I recommend you to apply for Beihai University of Technology, Beihai Engineering, and Beihai Forestry University. Even if you don't go through this independent enrollment, you can get into the other schools with your own strength."

Teacher Jiang Hao slapped the table, cleared his throat, and continued

"These three schools need to conduct separate tests on you before the college entrance exam. You first submit your materials. After the review is approved, I will notify you of the corresponding exam time. While there is still time, you must prepare well these days."

"Okay, teacher!"

Fang Yuan and several other students replied in unison

"Alright, you go back and prepare the materials first. Submit them to me before next Wednesday. After I read them, I will mail them directly to the corresponding school."

Teacher Jiang Hao waved his hand and let Fang Ping and the others leave the office.
