The one-star mechanic exam places the greatest emphasis on the examination of basic knowledge.
There are more than 200 dictation questions, and the question selection goes through more than 4,000 reference books.
This is also the result of the exam becoming more difficult year by year.
As the exam progresses, the original machinist exam is gradually subdivided into more and more precise parts.
The breadth, breadth, and depth of question types have been greatly expanded.
It can be said that it has far exceeded the difficulty of the imperial examination.
The imperial examination only selects general talents who can handle government affairs.
The executability test requires candidates to really have the ability to face problems and benefit the human race.
While the question types are rich, the difficulty of the essay questions is also constantly increasing.
The scope of discussion is relatively large, and it is often necessary to discuss famous mechanical events of a certain period.
Or explain the principles and basic production methods of a certain magic weapon.
This kind of question is often the most troublesome for candidates.
Because the essay questions are very comprehensive, it is impossible for a reference book to cover all the questions in the exam.
This means that if you want to give a complete answer, you often need dozens of books to comprehensively answer the question.
There are four questions of this type in total.
The first three questions are relatively straightforward and have correct answers.
The last question is an open-ended question.
It is divided into two paragraphs before and after.
The first half of the content has standard answers.
The second half of the content is open-ended, allowing candidates to reason based on existing knowledge.
This increase in difficulty results in the fact that it is often difficult to give high scores to such questions.
It is precisely for this reason that the passing rate for the machinist exam has been hovering in single digits.
The result of strict examinations is that those who come out must be elites.
After Qian Jimu copied the questions to all the candidates' papers, the papers fell down and the candidates began to take the questions.
From this point on, it is basically a rough idea whether a person can survive alone.
Several examiners looked at the more than a hundred candidates in the examination room with bright eyes.
Some candidates rush to write as soon as they get the paper, while others think carefully and plan the layout of the paper first.
Others choose to start with what they know first.
Although the strategies are different, the actions are still relatively neat.
King Bi was observing a candidate and nodded repeatedly.
Following King Bi's gaze, I saw that the candidate was about in his early twenties. His features were clear and his eyes were bright, and he was concentrating on reading all the dictation questions.
Hua Hongyi is in his early twenties, but he has been an apprentice of the machinists union for more than ten years.
He was able to pass the machinist apprenticeship exam as a teenager and was one of the top geniuses at the time.
Originally, everyone thought that the young genius Hua Hongyi should take the machinist exam after studying for four or five years.
But who would have expected that after nearly ten years, Hua Hongyi had never even applied for the machinist exam.
Many people even suspect that Hua Hongyi was able to pass the apprenticeship exam at such a young age just because of luck.
As a result, everyone gradually lowered their expectations for Hua Hongyi.
Even Hua Hongyi's family slowly accepted it. Hua Hongyi was just a child with relatively good luck.
The machinists' union's remuneration is pretty good. Not only do they get money every month, but they can also learn some cultivation techniques.
No matter what, I can still have something to eat in the future.
Hua Hongyi also entered the pulse-condensing stage of cultivation in the Machinists' Union these years.
Gradually, some people even thought that Hua Hongyi would give up his career as a mechanic.
No one knows that Hua Hongyi has been quietly preparing for the one-star mechanic exam these years.
Because the longer time passes, the more Hua Hongyi knows how difficult this machinist exam is.
Although the annual machinist exam questions are not allowed to be shared externally, Hua Hongyi, as a machinist apprentice, can hear apprentices who have taken the exam describe the difficulty of the entire exam every time.
The more detailed he listened, the more alarmed Hua Hongyi was about the difficulty of the exam.
It is no exaggeration to say that the one-star mechanic exam is never easy.
Seniors who take the exam often say how difficult and miserable the dictation questions are.
How tricky the question maker's angle is.
The normal test questions that only give the first half of a sentence and then answer the second half can no longer accommodate the talent of the question maker.
There are even some silent writing questions that just have a simple beginning.
This kind of beginning is only four or five words.
There are too many things that can be associated with these four or five words.
So there will be gaps for a few words later, and then a few more words will be given.
Finally, there are two more words at the end.
The difficulty of the question depends entirely on the words in this prompt.
If the difficulty of the question is to be reduced, the prompt may include the mechanical principle or the name of the machine to be tested.
If you want to increase the difficulty, the hint words given will be completely empty words such as: 了, 了, END, so.
When encountering this kind of question, you have no choice but to give up the opportunity, otherwise candidates will have to search for the corresponding sentences in thousands of books.
It's really not something humans can do.
Over the years, Hua Hongyi has taken several mock exams, but lost a lot of points in dictation.
However, Hua Hongyi also mastered the general rules through these mock tests.
That is, every year, there are about ten such extreme questions.
Among the total number of two hundred questions, it will not affect the final passing rate.
If you want to pass the machinist exam, you need to layer the dictation questions.
The first level is a simple type of questions, and the score must be right or wrong.
The second level is the high-level questions. These questions will also have prompts, but the keywords are not placed at the beginning, but in the middle or back.
The third level is the real unsolvable questions. This kind of questions is a test of character. If you can answer it correctly, you can only rely on character, skills, memorization and training, which are all powerless.
After mastering this rule, Hua Hongyi mastered the test questions at each level.
Then he discovered that the first-level questions accounted for 80%.
To pass the exam, 80% accuracy in dictation is enough.
Over the years, Hua Hongyi has been polishing his ability to recite and write basic questions like this.
It was also this time that I felt that I had accumulated enough.
That’s why I came here to take part in this exam.
Therefore, as soon as he got the paper, the first thing Hua Hongyi did was to classify the test questions in detail.
This is directly related to the time he has to spend on each question.
While holding a pen, he wrote on the piece of paper the questions that must focus on getting points.
Doing questions and checks like this will be very strategic and efficient.
Moreover, he is also confident in dictation itself.
He was not wasting his time during these years of apprenticeship, taking morning and evening classes every day.
Of course, he also knew that simply mastering the memorization questions was not enough to pass the one-star mechanic exam.
Because the most difficult part of the one-star mechanic exam is actually the essay question at the end.
