Chapter 302: Score estimation
Chapter 302: Score estimation
On Saturday morning, Feng Yiping arrived at school fresh and clear-headed. Today, as usual, there were many parents. The children's task was over after the exam, and the parents had to worry about many things that remained.
If they do well, it's fine, but if they don't, they have to think about where to find a cram school, or immediately go to the admissions office to find a way out. It would be good if they could go to college, because nowadays a college degree is not as worthless as it was in the past.
In each classroom, there were several sets of model answers. In front of each set, there was a crowd of people, as the students took notes on their own to score each question. Naturally, some were happy while others were not. A few students were too lazy to look at the answers, as they did not want to face the truth.
Feng Yiping was taken directly to the office by Teacher Chen, and he was not seen for half a day. The attitude between the teacher and the students changed slightly. The teachers they met along the way, looking at these recent graduates, no one pretended to be serious and put on airs. From now on, these students are no longer under their jurisdiction. Besides, legally speaking, they are all adults.
Teacher Chen spoke to Feng Yiping in a natural, conversational tone. He was also looking forward to it. The top students in the science department had finished estimating their scores last night, and the results were not very good. Not quite, personally speaking, they were still okay, but there was still quite a gap between them and the provincial champion. Feng Yiping, on the other hand, was the school's top seed for the liberal arts championship.
Feng Yiping remembers very clearly what happened from the day before yesterday to the present. He spent more than ten minutes checking his Chinese language answers. He got most of the questions right. Of course, some of the fill-in-the-blank questions did not have a standard answer where not a single word could be changed. But he answered all the key points, and at most he would lose one or two points. He then spent more than ten minutes writing the composition again by memory. When Chen saw it, he thought it was quite good. 'I think you could get full marks for the composition!'
Although Feng Yiping was happy to hear this, he felt that his Chinese teacher's words might not be entirely objective. Chen Teacher saw through this and took the piece of paper, saying, 'I'll go ask the other teachers!' He was even more excited than Feng Yiping himself.
After Feng Yiping had finished the English translation, he followed the instructions in the test to finish writing the English letter. Chen Teacher then hurriedly returned with the piece of paper, saying, 'Look!'
Feng Yiping looked at it and saw some brief comments from the teachers, followed by their evaluations, mostly 'A-plus', with only two teachers giving it an 'A'. Teacher Chen said happily, 'Not to mention a full mark, it should be at least around 55 points! Let's be generous and say that your Chinese score is at least 140 points.'
'Your English has also improved,' Feng Yiping handed him the English answers.
'You got one wrong in the fill-in-the-blank questions and one in the short text correction, which adds up to a deduction of 2.5 points. I really don't understand this English letter very well, but it's worth 30 points, so we'll also deduct 7.5 points, which means you can still get a score of around 140 in English. What about politics?' The provincial champion is looking promising.
Politics is next. You got all the questions before that one right, so at most you'll get a deduction of 5 points, which means 140-145.
The maths was more problematic, as there was no time to check during the exam, and he had also got one of the multiple-choice questions wrong. He estimated his score to be around 115.
Finally, there was history, which was basically correct, with the main points of several essay questions answered. At most, 10 points would be deducted, which would also be around 140.
'Minimum 685?' Teacher Chen exclaimed. With such a score, the provincial champion in the arts is a sure thing.
'Let's estimate 670,' Feng Yiping calculated the marking teacher as the strictest.
'That's not a problem either, last year's champion scored less than 640,' Teacher Chen was a little restless, and Feng Yiping was also very happy. The hard work of these past few years has not been in vain, and it was not in vain that he took textbooks from all subjects and studied hard during the year he took a break from school.
'Congratulations, Yiping, your expectations are probably going to come true.' Feng Yiping also felt the same way, but he was habitually humble and said, "There are always people better than me, maybe there are people in the province who are even better than me.'
'Judging from the difficulty level this year, especially in mathematics, I think it's going to be very difficult," Chen said with confidence.
In the five subjects, Feng Yiping only got 37.5 points for the obvious mistakes. The scores they estimated have already been halved. If there is a student in the arts this year who can get more than 140 points in mathematics, then Feng Yiping might really be in danger. But with the difficulty of this year's mathematics, how is that possible? Even if you let the science seed players take the arts mathematics exam, they still won't get this score.
'Let's go take the photo. In another half month, the results will be out, and the teacher will celebrate with you then!'
'You're wrong, it's definitely the students who will be thanking you at the banquet!' On the way to the graduation photo shoot, the teacher and students seemed to have already embraced the top student.
There were already classes taking graduation photos in the playground. The students from the third year class of the 99th grade of No. 1 Middle School of the city also gathered around the chairs that had been brought out. Regardless of how they had done in the exam just past, with the level of the class, those who had done poorly would generally be able to get into a second-tier university, so at this time many people were talking about their aspirations and the supposedly cool college life they had heard about.
There was no sadness about parting because 90% of the classmates in the class lived in the city and it was convenient to get around. Unlike Feng Yiping's junior high school days, although everyone was from the same town, your family was in this ravine and his family was on that hill, so they rarely met.
Today, the biggest stars are the school leaders, and every class wants to take a group photo with them. Feng Yiping's class invited the principal, vice-principal and several directors, plus all the subject teachers, to sit in a row in front. Feng Yiping was originally assigned to the last row because he is tall, but he stood on a stool. Teacher Chen was not satisfied and moved him to the far left of the second row. After a while of adjustment, with the photographer pressing the shutter, Feng Yiping's high school career was forever fixed at this moment.
After saying goodbye to Mr Chen, Feng Yiping's phone rang before he even left the school gate. Needless to say, it must be his anxious parents calling. Feng Yiping no longer had to hide, and in front of the crowd of classmates and teachers, he pulled out his phone and looked at the caller ID. It was indeed his father. 'Dad, it's right, around 650 points.' He had lost another 20 points.
Feng Zhenchang seemed to be holding the phone and talking to someone next to him, 'Uncle Si and the others heard that last year's provincial champion scored less than 640, so with your score, you might be able to win the championship?' Mei Qiuping's words interrupted.
'It's still too early to say, the results will be out on the 23rd, but you can rest assured, I will have no problem getting into the two universities in the capital.'
Instead, Feng Zhenchang and the others were not satisfied now. The provincial champion was right in front of them, could their son get it? They were a little worried.
Huang Jingping learned the good news and kept kissing Feng Yiping's head and face, 'You're so great!'
'Okay, get ready, we'll go to the south in a couple of days.'
A good rest for a day or two would be enough. The results wouldn't come out until the 23rd. In the meantime, he had a tight schedule for the next half month. He had to go to Shenzhen and Hong Kong to take care of a lot of things. After he came back and filled out the application forms, they would go on a trip as planned.
