SIAS Chapter 236.4

After entering the examination room, everyone was led into different classrooms according to their majors and numbers.

Li Mengxue, Qian Lailai, Wang Lingling, and Xie Shiyan all applied for liberal arts, while Yi Qingqing, Yun Guyuan, and Chen Zhihe applied for science.

Before parting ways, they gathered together and exchanged words of encouragement.

Then they walked into their respective classrooms.

As she entered the classroom, a message popped up on Yi Qingqing’s Sign-in System.

[You entered the examination room. The college entrance examination skills teaching mode is temporarily closed. I wish the host success in the exam and win first place!]

Yi Qingqing glanced at it and secretly complained: Who are you guarding against? This system is quite principled. Is it because it is afraid that she’ll cheat?

She had already pushed her college entrance exam skills to the maximum, so why did she still need to cheat?

The exam began. Everyone received a test paper and a blank sheet of paper.

The examiner emphasized that math questions didn’t need to be copied; only the question number was written. The blank sheet was the answer sheet, and drafts were to be made in the blank spaces of the test paper.

In this era, not only were there no answer sheets with divided answer areas, but even draft paper had to be used sparingly.

But no one was surprised. When doing questions normally, no one would use blank paper to make drafts. They would all make drafts on the blank spaces of waste paper that had been written on, and they would only use pencils. After making the draft, they would erase it and use it again next time.

In order to save space, everyone’s drafts were typed small and neatly.

Yi Qingqing took the test paper and took a look at it first.

The font of the questions on the test paper looked like it was handwritten, not printed.

However, the test paper was printed.

So it was possible the original test paper was handwritten by the test-setter.

The handwriting was extremely neat, without a single scrawl, and it looked even better than printed copies.

There were no multiple-choice or fill-in-the-blank questions, and the number of questions was much smaller than in later generations. There were only ten compulsory questions in total.

Yi Qingqing took a quick look and felt that they were not difficult. One of the plane geometry questions and one of the solid geometry questions were original questions from the “Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry Series”. She felt very familiar with them.

At the end of the test paper were two 40-point reference questions, which later generations called supplementary questions.

The note on the test paper stated: Reference questions are intended to assess the candidate’s self-study experience. They are scored separately and do not count toward the overall grade for this course.

These two questions were indeed more difficult, but Yi Qingqing also felt very familiar with them. They were original questions from the college entrance examination prediction test paper included in the New Year gift package, with slight modifications.

After receiving such a test paper, Yi Qingqing’s previous confidence was put to the test. She calmed herself down before starting to do the questions.

Solving math problems requires not only intelligence but also calmness. It tests one’s mentality the most. If your mentality is unstable, you may be able to solve every problem, but you will make mistakes in the calculations of every problem, and the final score will not be satisfactory.

So even if it seemed simple, she couldn’t relax or underestimate it.

Yi Qingqing did the ten required questions very smoothly. Her years of hard work had given her the ability to find the solution the moment she saw it, allowing her to easily arrive at the answer.

Her long-practiced hard-pen calligraphy also made its first appearance on the test paper, with not a single trace of correction, creating a beautifully neat and polished work.

After finishing the required questions, she still had plenty of time, so she stopped to check the ten required questions twice before starting to do the reference questions at the end.

After all, reference questions are not included in the total score, so you must make sure you get the scores for the required questions before doing the reference questions.

After finishing the reference questions, she briefly reviewed her work once more, and then the exam was almost over.

The time was just right. She handed in a neat, clean, beautifully written paper that immediately impressed everyone.

Yi Qingqing felt that she had done a perfect job and was brimming with confidence.
