Chapter 203: Dong Mingming was itching to find out how the two did. (2)

Parted with Dong Mingming, Gu Xi found her own testing location.

What was surprising was that Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan both ended up in the same room, except that their spots were on both sides of the classroom.

The examinations began.

Scheduled for the morning of the first day was literature.

After receiving the examination, Gu Xi habitually looked through it from beginning to end. It was more or less the same difficulty as the one that she had done during her entrance examination, with the addition of some new knowledge.

The long essay was to write something from a picture. The type of writing was not limited.

The picture was one of a big family dining around a large round table. She could write about an incident of family gathering around over New Year or other festivals; she could write about the meaning of family or the meaning of festivals; or she could write about family and love in a family, etc. etc.

That was not a difficult topic except that, in the past, Gu Xi might have to be very creative about it.

The extra credit problem wasnt there for most of the students.

Even the teachers at school learned of the wager between the students on Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan taking first place. As such, a few of the teachers responsible for putting the examination together suggested to make it more fun by adding an extra difficult question at the end.

Everybody already knows about Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyans ability. The monthly examinations are of normal difficulty. If both of them score full marks, there wont be a winner. As such, a more difficult problem at the very end will be perfect.

Just that one line and they were able to convince the team lead responsible for putting together the questions and agreed to the suggestion of an extra credit question.

Not just literature. Even mathematics and English slotted for the same day as well as the minor subjects on the second day had a 20-point extra credit question attached.
