Chapter 1752 Gifted
The reason was very simple. They had heard that the college entrance examination papers would test the students on much more complex knowledge than what they learned in school. This was because the newly resumed college entrance examination was for the entire country. As long as one wanted to go to university, one could register for the examination. However, the number of people who could be admitted to each university was very few. If there were 500,000 people who took the college entrance examination, not more than 20,000 people would be able to enter university at the end.
Sixth High wanted to get first place in the rankings once the college entrance examination resumed. The local top scorer of the college entrance examination must be from their school. This represented the dignity and status of Sixth High!
After Wu Li finished telling the students what they needed to note during the examination, he started to distribute the test papers. The first subject was Chinese, which was a piece of cake for Qiao Mei. In her other life, she was the local top scorer in the sciences. Chinese was a compulsory subject and she had always been a top scorer.
It only took half an hour for Qiao Mei to finish most of the test paper, save for the essay. Wu Duo, who was sitting beside Qiao Mei, was stunned. He never imagined that someone would be able to answer the questions so fast.
Wu Li knocked gently on the blackboard and said, "No whispering! Look straight ahead! If I see you copying someone else's paper, I'll confiscate it and forfeit your results for the subject!"
Qiao Mei looked up to glance at the time and took a deep breath before starting to write her essay. She spent another 20 minutes on the essay. After confirming that she did not miss out on any questions, she slowly raised her hand.
In her other life, Qiao Mei was the national Mathematical Olympiad champion! There were no questions that could stump her.
Just like when she was answering the Chinese test paper, Qiao Mei quickly whizzed through the mathematics paper. This time round, not only did Wu Duo look at her strangely, but even Wu Li looked at her in shock. After 40 minutes, Qiao Mei finished the mathematics paper. She had just looked up when she saw Wu Li walking towards her.
Qiao Mei obediently handed the paper to Wu Li. He looked through it seriously for a while and found that the answers were all correct! Qiao Mei did not even make any amendments to any of her answers! Even the rough paper used for calculations was full with neat handwriting. Here was a rare mathematics talent!
"Who is your teacher?" Wu Li asked as he looked at Qiao Mei excitedly.
"Me? My grandfather taught me at home. He is a retired soldier. In that case, I guess my grandfather is considered my teacher," Qiao Mei told him the truth.
If it was not through the guidance of a great teacher, then this child must be extremely talented!
Wu Li looked like he had just met his successor. He wished he could let Qiao Mei start school now. He wanted to teach Qiao Mei everything he knew about mathematics. As a teacher, if his own student surpassed him, it was something he could be proud of for the rest of his life.
Seeing that Wu Li was in a daze, Qiao Mei asked, "Sir, can I do the test for the next subject?"
