"After I graduate, I may follow my second uncle to work as a sailor at sea. I have always liked boats and the sea."
"When I come back from overseas, I will bring you some overseas specialties."
Ouyang Qing looked a little disappointed and said.
"Haha, that's okay~"
Yang Huai nodded happily.
The two of them also agreed that even if they were separated in the future, they would get together frequently. If they were in the capital, they would get together on weekends. If they were not in the capital, they would frequently exchange letters in the future.
Soon, it was time for the college entrance examination.
The college entrance examination system of this era was similar to the imperial examination system. However, there was no separate examination room. The examination was still in the classroom, but far apart from each other. The examination was stricter. It was strictly prohibited to carry out any cheating, plagiarism, cheating, falsification of questions, etc. Once
If found, you will be severely punished.
Although it is not as serious and strict as the imperial examinations of the imperial court, if these things happen, the punishment will still be very serious. If a teacher is involved, he will be escorted directly to the government. According to the imperial examination questions, plagiarism, etc.
The sentence is based on the crime.
In this era, examinations are very sacred and solemn. This is true for the imperial examinations and the new examinations. No one is allowed to defile it.
During the exam, the layout of the new school here is extremely serious. Candidates must be checked to see if there is no entrapment before they are allowed to enter the exam room.
As soon as the exam bell rang, everyone began to work on the questions seriously.
Later generations of students more or less had special practice questions, and they had already practiced like a fire before the exam.
But in this era, there are no special exercises at all. Everyone usually goes to class and does the questions in the textbook. After class, there is no homework. You can go home and play when you need to, and eat when you need to eat.
Therefore, during this exam, these questions are basically questions that have never been done before. Whether you can get good results depends purely on your personal talent.
Moreover, in order to widen the score gap and reflect the level, the newly learned test questions are often very difficult, not difficult. Only those students with real talents and good talents can achieve ideal results in the exams.
This is also what Liu Jin meant.
In later generations, with the expansion of university enrollment, a large number of students were admitted to universities, but the quality of teaching did not keep up. At the same time, the employment arrangements of college students were only after full marketization.
College students are useless and worthless. Many of them actually waste their time and energy on them. They are not strict enough and are completely free-range.
Liu Jin felt that there was actually no need for so many people to go to college. It was only necessary for some of the real geniuses to pursue further studies.
It is enough to control this ratio to about one tenth, that is, only one out of ten people can go to college, and those who can pass the exam are naturally real talents.
Therefore, the questions must be difficult. It is not like the examination system of later generations. What is needed is to screen out the real talents and geniuses.
If you can't study, just work hard. You can still contribute to society and live a good life. There is no need to waste time and energy on studying.
Just like the current imperial examination.
Thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, more than 20,000 people took the exam, and only more than 500 people were admitted. This is very cruel.
But this is the current situation of the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty does not need so many Jinshi scholars and officials, and naturally it does not need to admit so many people.
What's more, only when the number of people admitted is small can the importance of the imperial examination be shown and the value of the carp leaping over the dragon's gate be demonstrated.
Just like in later generations before the expansion of enrollment in colleges and universities, those who can go to college are rare and the true pride of heaven. After graduation, they will be assigned jobs in good units, government agencies, etc. Being admitted to college means that they will never be able to go to college again.
You don’t have to worry about your own life, so naturally you don’t need to use so much quantity.
The current college entrance examination in Ming Dynasty is almost the same. There are many people taking the exam, but few people are admitted, and the competition is extremely fierce.
In the examination room of Xincheng No. 3 Middle School in the Southern District, although it is already winter and the weather is cold, every candidate in the examination room is sweating profusely and scratching their heads and ears.
This year’s questions are really difficult, especially the math test that is currently going on. I thought it was very easy when I was studying, but it became very difficult during the test. It was very difficult.
These candidates were left scratching their heads and scratching their heads one by one, making the exam extremely irritable.
Of course, there are also a few talented students, those who are talented in mathematics. Even though the questions are difficult, they can still take the test easily and with ease.
Sometimes people have to sigh about talent. It is really pure. Some people are naturally good at learning, good at mathematics, and have very strong logical thinking ability.
In the blink of an eye, the three-day college entrance examination was over.
As the bell rang, the invigilator stood up and shouted, and all the candidates stood up in unison. Even if they reached the key points, they had to put down the pen in their hands and could not write another word.
The candidates walked out of the examination room frustrated one after another, and couldn't help but smile bitterly when they saw each other.
This year’s question is very difficult, you can tell by looking at everyone’s expressions.
"Yang Huai, how did you do in the exam?"
"This year's questions are really too difficult. Even my favorite creature is very difficult for me. I must have failed the test this time."
Ouyang Qing saw his classmate Yang Huai at the school gate and asked quickly.
"This year is indeed very difficult, but you don't have to worry. It's difficult for everyone, and it's not difficult for you alone."
Yang Huai nodded. He felt that he had done quite well in the exam and had performed to his own level. There should be no problem getting into the Imperial College of his choice.
"I hope so. If I fail the exam, I will have no choice but to run a boat. My second uncle has already come back. If I fail the exam, I will go to the Japanese country to exercise first this year. I will go to Japan next year.
Went to the West."
Ouyang Qing seemed very unsure.
In a week's time it will be the day when the college entrance examination results will be released.
In the entire No. 3 Middle School, before the list was posted, a large number of students and parents had gathered here, and many newspaper reporters also came to join in the fun.
Although the college entrance examination cannot be compared with the imperial examination, it has become more and more important and attracted more and more attention.
People of the old school criticize the new school as heretical and third-rate, but people of the new school know that the questions in the college entrance examination are really difficult, and nothing is that easy. Those who can get high scores in the exam are also genuine.
Talent.
"Coming, coming~"
At this time, as someone shouted out, the school teacher took out a red list and quickly posted it on the school bulletin wall.
The above contains the scores of all the students from No. 3 Middle School who took the college entrance examination this time and their rankings in the capital. You can apply for your favorite colleges and universities based on these scores and rankings.
Colleges and universities will take into account the situation of students applying to their own schools and admit students based on their scores.
Here in the new school, everything is based on scores, which is very different from the old school.
In the old school, essays were used to determine the merits, but essays largely depend on the examiner's preference. If you find something that suits your taste, you will naturally rate it highly. If you encounter something that doesn't suit your taste, it will be difficult for you to go to high school.
.
Therefore, during the exam, everyone will write some articles based on the examiner's personal preferences, so that they can get extra points.
The new study is different. Except for those who write articles in Chinese studies, the rest are all mandatory answers. The personal preferences of the marking teachers have no influence. It depends on the scores.
"Wow~ There is someone who can score more than 700 points in the exam. What a great person!"
"Who is it? Is it Feng Yun from Class 1?"
"No, no, it's Wang Zhihui from Class 2."
"Wang Zhihui, it's no wonder. He has always been one of the top three students in our third middle school, and his grades are very good."
"Yang Huai from Class 3 also scored more than 700 points, only a few points less than Wang Zhihui. How did they both take the exam? They were able to score more than 700 points. The total score is only 800 points."
"A great person is a great person, otherwise why would you call me a great person?"
"What is the admission score this year?"
"It's 580 points!"
"Let me go, how difficult the question is, and the admission score is 580. This is too high."
"Yes, yes, why do difficult questions require 580 points to be online? This score is too high."
"Isn't that right? This year we only have less than 200 talents with a score of 580 or above in the third grade."
As the red list was posted, there was a mixture of joy and sadness.
"Yang Huai, congratulations. You scored more than 700 points in the exam. You can now choose the school and major of your choice."
Ouyang Qing was extremely disappointed because, as expected, he failed the exam. He only scored 540 points, which was still a few ten points away from the score line.
"Hmm~"
"I've also seen your scores. You can take the college's independent admissions exam and give it a try."
Yang Huai nodded and said.
"Forget it, I've decided to go boating with my second uncle."
"The world is huge, and I have wanted to see everywhere for a long time. It just so happens that I can go on a boat to see all over the world."
Ouyang Qing smiled and shook his head and said that he had decided to go sailing with his second uncle.
