Chapter 38 Teachers' Ambition
Needless to say, the English test in the morning was Qiao Yu's strong point. The physics and chemistry in the afternoon were also quite easy. The most troublesome subjects were actually history and morality and the rule of law.

Although the last two subjects are open-book exams, it is difficult to find ready-made answers from the textbooks as the questions become more difficult. The most typical example is answering questions from reading materials.

For example, a passage from the General History of Chinese Culture about the spirit of harmony in the Book of Changes was selected, pointing out the Taoist and Confucian ideas about the spirit of harmony. Then two ancient pictures were given, and students were asked to combine their knowledge to list two historical facts that embodied the spirit of harmony in the formation and development of the ancient unified multi-ethnic country of China.

This made Qiao Yu, who had never listened to the lectures carefully, feel a little headache.

Fortunately, he turned the pages very quickly, and the two illustrations were introduced in the textbook, so he quickly understood the meaning of the test questions. Although he was not impressed by the so-called "harmony" spirit itself, he had no problem answering the questions.

In short, Qiao Yu experienced the difficulty of the test question design, but to be honest, it was not that great.

In addition, for questions on liberal arts subjects, you can often get a few points by just writing whatever you want, which makes it seem even easier. So the really hard things to learn are actually the science subjects, but they are too basic in junior high school, so they can't be considered difficult.

After the exam, Qiao Yu went home to continue his number theory research. However, his exam paper was almost immediately checked by his head teacher Yuan Yuan, who asked all the teachers to check the reference answers and give a rough score.

In this way, Qiao Yu's score sheet was quickly delivered to her.

For Chinese, I referred to the opinion of the grade leader, Mr. Xing, and got 115 points; for Mathematics, I got full marks as expected, 120 points; for Physics and Chemistry, I also got full marks; for English, I got 97 points, mainly because of some problems with the grammar usage in the comprehensive reading and writing, which deducted two points, and for the final composition, I deducted 1 point.

The open-book history and morality and law exams were deducted 3 points and 5 points respectively. Although these two subjects were scored 60 points on the paper, they were only counted as 58 points in the high school entrance examination, which means they were 57 and 567 points after conversion. Excluding biology and geography, which were already taken in the second year of junior high school, and physical education, which was taken last month, Qiao Yu's total score was points after conversion.

Even if he was placed in the Rocket Class, he would still be the top student in the grade. You know, the Rocket Class has many excellent students who scored full marks in biology, geography and physical education. If he can get 567 points in this mock exam, his total score will reach an astonishing 687 points!
If we add the 3 points deducted for the Chinese paper, the total score is 690. Considering that this exam is more difficult than the high school entrance exam, if a student in the Rocket Class can get this score, he or she can basically compete for the first place in the city.

According to the score range given in the last city mock exam, the highest score in the city was only 693 points, and only two people scored above 690. But the questions in the last mock exam were much simpler than those in this one.

Unfortunately, Qiao Yu's score in PE, biology and geography combined was only 58, so his total score was only 625. Although not high, he definitely passed the general high school entrance line. There was no problem for him to get into Railway No. Middle School.

Seeing this result, Yuan Yuan felt that the timing of the Olympiad was very good, as the teacher Lan from the high school department discovered Qiao Yu. The time for the Olympiad was also very good. It would not start until September 13, when the high school started.

If the Olympic Science Competition was held before the high school entrance exam, if Qiao Yu had passed the national line and his high school entrance exam score was also above the general high school line, he would probably be scrambled to be admitted by a lot of schools. Then there would be no chance for Tieyi Middle School.

Especially those private schools, they are really willing to spend money to promote their schools and build their reputation.

Not only are tuition and accommodation free, but there have also been cases where hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships have been given to top students. It's just that the management has been stricter in recent years, but there have been all kinds of small tricks to snatch top students privately.

The current situation is pretty good, really. Yuan Yuan has already started to consider how to build her class teacher persona around Qiao Yu.

Helping the school to keep such a talented child, even if there is no credit, at least there should be some hard work, right?

……

At the same time, Lan Jie was busy entering Qiao Yu's information into the National Mathematical Olympiad for Middle School Students registration system. The registration for Xingcheng this year will end tomorrow. According to the National Mathematical Olympiad for Middle School Students competition system, the competition area, which was originally supposed to be based on provinces, will organize a preliminary competition, with each province and city setting its own questions. Students participating in the mathematics league will be selected based on the preliminary results.

However, considering the varying difficulty levels of the questions, Xingnan Province, where Xingcheng is located, simply did not organize a preliminary round. Instead, the competition quotas allocated by the China Mathematical Society to the competition area were directly allocated to the various schools in the competition area.

Specifically in Xingcheng, the four famous schools in the country naturally have the most places, followed by other A-level middle schools. As for Tieyi Middle School, it was only allocated five places this year.

Yes, although there were originally 18 people in the Olympiad class, in fact, only five people were selected to represent the school to participate in the National Mathematics League. This is also the reason why Ma Yufei and Lu Jia paid special attention to the Olympiad questions assigned by Langjie.

Now that Qiao Yu has been discovered, there are naturally only four spots left in the original Olympiad class.

This is probably also the reason why the group of students originally had a certain hostility towards Qiao Yu's sudden appearance.

Qiao Yu's arrival robbed them of the opportunity to participate in the competition.

After all, everyone who signs up for this Olympiad class has to give up their self-study time. Even if their goal is not to become one of the top few in the province and form a provincial team to participate in the CMO, and they have no ambition to win a national award, it is a rare opportunity to win an award in the province, whether it is the first, second, or third place.

Although there is no policy of adding extra points to the college entrance examination for winning provincial Olympiad awards, after all, colleges and universities still have independent enrollment and strong foundation plans these days.

Many universities still attach great importance to whether students have participated in five major subject competitions in their strong foundation assessments. Especially in the comprehensive evaluation admissions of many well-known universities, winning competitions is already one of the necessary conditions for registration, and some universities directly use competition awards as extra points for school assessments.

This is very important for students who have clear plans for the future.

From Lan Jie's perspective, he was no longer interested in what other people's test scores were. He only wanted to get Qiao Yu into the provincial team as soon as possible and represent Xingnan Province to participate in the National Middle School Mathematics Winter Camp.

It was announced at the closing ceremony of last year's National Mathematical Olympiad finals that this year's winter camp and finals will be hosted by Lu Hai Middle School in Ningshui City, Dongzhe Province.

Langjie now has enough confidence in Qiao Yu.

As long as they can enter the top 60 in the finals, they can join the national training team and get the qualification to be directly recommended to Huaqing and Yanbei. In fact, Lan Jie is already satisfied that Qiao Yu can get to this point.

After all, in the history of Tieyi Middle School, no student has ever been among the top 60 gold medalists in the national mathematics Olympiad.

Not only has he won the Mathematical Olympiad, he has also failed to win the other four major subject competitions. It is conceivable that if Qiao Yu can really achieve this achievement, it will be a huge surprise for Tieyi Middle School.

If I can really make it to the final six of the national team...

Well, that’s too far away, something that will happen in March next year, and Ranjie is too lazy to think about it now.
