Translator’s Note:
From this chapter, I changed ‘Imperial Capital University’ to ‘Beijing University’.
Hope it does not confuse you~
However, Yi Qingqing was quite confident in her writing skills. After all, the letters she had written under her mother’s pressure over the years hadn’t been written in vain.
It was just ‘An Unforgettable Day’. After all, she had been writing ‘An Unforgettable Month’ for three years, so she had plenty of material. She just needed to choose the most attractive and positive material to write about.
Yun Guyuan, who remembered the exam questions completely, could help them recall the science subjects. For the liberal arts subjects, history and geography, Li Mengxue and the others would have to recall them themselves.
Fortunately, these were subjects they had just taken today, so they remembered them relatively clearly.
After a group discussion, they had roughly come up with the results.
Yi Qingqing calculated that for the two subjects with the most accurate answers and the easiest to estimate scores—’mathematics’ and ‘physics and chemistry’—she should score at least 190 points.
The admission score for Beijing University this year was only 270 points, a score that Li Mengxue only learned later in the original book.
As for the remaining two subjects, Chinese and Politics, which were easy to score points on as long as one knew how to write them, Yi Qingqing felt that even if she did poorly, she couldn’t possibly score less than 80 points combined.
Besides, Yi Qingqing was very confident in these two subjects. She conservatively estimated that she would have no problem getting 80 points in each subject. In the skill teaching mode, she had achieved 95-100 points in both of them.
Even if the college entrance exam was slightly more difficult, the difference in difficulty between Chinese and Politics wasn’t significant. At most, there might be differences in the scoring standards. The main difficulties lie in Mathematics and Physics and Chemistry, and History and Geography.
After checking the answers, Yi Qingqing felt reassured. Conservatively speaking, she would have no problem getting 350 out of a full 400 points.
She felt that her overall grades were already very good, but she estimated that she might even get full marks in Mathematics and Physics and Chemistry—her intelligence was almost enviable!
Others also estimated their own scores. Using the most conservative method, everyone’s total score was above 250 points.
Yi Qingqing felt that they still had a good chance of getting into Beijing University.
On the day of filling out their applications, all seven of them wrote Beijing University as their first choice.
Even though they felt that their scores might not be high enough for Beijing University, Wang Lingling, Xie Shiyan, and Chen Zhihe, encouraged by Yi Qingqing, decided to give it a shot.
They also filled other universities in Beijing as their second and third choices.
Even if they fail to get into Beijing University, they can all study in Beijing.
At this time, there is no score-checking system after the exams, and the students’ scores aren’t directly published; only the admission cut-off scores are announced in the newspapers.
Everyone could only anxiously wait for their admission notices.
However, Wang Lingling had sent a telegram home in advance, asking her father to inquire about the scores of everyone in their study group.
Not long after the admission cut-off scores were announced, she received a telegram from home.
Wang Lingling covered the telegram she received, a little afraid to read it. She quickly ran outside the post office and prepared to read it with her friends.
Not only were her study group members present, but Gao Yinghua was also there with Li Mengxue.
Everyone gathered in a circle and watched Wang Lingling unfold the telegram in her hand.
A moment later, a burst of screams erupted.
“Ahhhh!”
“We all passed! We all passed!”
“Woo, woo!”
“Lingling, why are you crying?”
“I’m so happy! I can go to university with you all!”
…
The cheers attracted frequent glances from passersby, who then smiled knowingly.
