Chapter 489 Oral Answer

After all the candidates who had taken the written test in the morning had stopped writing, the person in charge of the written test checked everyone's answer sheet on the spot. Only after confirming that there were no problems did he collect the answer sheets, seal them, and send them to the examiner.

The afternoon was the time for oral answers. Oral answers were conducted in front of everyone, and the results could be known on the spot. When the participants were giving oral answers, the audience sat not close to the oral answerers, but behind them. The audience was not allowed to speak at all, otherwise they would be pulled out for disrupting the order of the competition. During the competition, the participants in the oral answering could not communicate with the audience verbally, and even eye contact and gesture communication were difficult to occur. As the clan leader, Tie Wandao was also one of the audience. He also sat in the audience seat at the scene and did not say a word. Of course, the other powerful people in Tiecangting were the same. Not only that, even the questioner and the recorder of the question and answer content sat behind the participants in the oral answering, but they sat much closer to the audience than the audience, so that the questioner, recorder and oral answerer could hear clearly, and secondly, it prevented the questioner and recorder from being disturbed by the audience. Although the oral answerers only faced a wall when answering questions, they were still blindfolded to prevent cheating.

Although written and oral examinations are two different forms of competition, the scores of these two are added together to form a total score. The person with the highest total score is the winner of the non-competitive part.

In various previous competitions and exams, more cheating cases were detected in the non-competition part than in the competition part, which is one of the reasons why cheating is strictly prevented in this part of the competition.

The non-competitive part is the first round of all competitions. All competitions are divided into three rounds. If someone wins two rounds, then no matter what the result of the other round is, that person will become the final winner. If no one can win two rounds, then the person with the highest average score in the three rounds will become the final winner.

In the oral competition, Tie Hongyan answered fluently and performed extremely well. People present felt that Tie Hongyan must have the highest score before the results were announced. Sure enough, when the results were announced that day, Tie Hongyan not only had the highest score in the oral part, but also had a huge gap with other participants. However, the gap between the oral competition and others does not mean that he will definitely win the non-competition part, because the oral competition score only accounts for 30% of the total score of the non-competition part, and the other 70% depends on the written part.

Tie Hongyan, who was already full of confidence, knew that she had performed very well in the written part and had the highest score in the oral part. She was in a good mood but relatively calm. She was not too excited and did not review the previous competition after the competition ended. On the way back to Ao Qian Palace, no one dared to ask her how the competition went, because she had told others before the competition started that as long as the competition was not completely over for the day, no one should ask her about the previous competition. She felt that it was meaningless to review the content of the competition that had already ended when there were other competitions that had not been completed. The items that had been completed were a foregone conclusion. If you performed well in the competition that had ended, reviewing too much would easily make you impetuous in the competitions that had not yet been carried out; if you performed poorly in the competition that had ended, reviewing too much would easily affect your confidence in the competitions that followed; if you performed mediocrely in the competition that had ended, reviewing too much would waste time and consume your energy for the next competition.
