The college entrance examination lasts for two days. On the first day, there are tests on mathematics and politics, and on the second day, there are tests on Chinese, physics and chemistry, or history and geography. Only students who plan to apply for foreign language majors need to take the foreign language test, and other candidates do not need to take the foreign language test.
The examination time for each subject is 100 minutes, and the test questions of each subject are based on a hundred-point system.
Jinbao took a look at the scoring rules and found that the total score of liberal arts and science subjects has different weights. Mathematics and physics and chemistry in science subjects are each calculated at 30%, politics and Chinese are each calculated at 20%, politics and Chinese in liberal arts are each calculated at 30%, mathematics,
History and geography are calculated as 20% each.
She spent most of her time on physics, chemistry and mathematics, and her bets were right.
The banner in the examination room read, "One red heart, two hands ready."
The radio loudly said: "Whether you go to university or go to the mountains and countryside, it is honorable to stay in your job and you can contribute to the realization of the four modernizations."
Having said that, everyone knows that the college entrance examination is an opportunity to change your destiny.
The educated youths arrived at the examination room early and told their close friends that they would definitely go to college and leave the countryside.
"The life in the countryside is too hard. A lot of hard physical labor is on my shoulders every day, and I can't see my future."
"Really? I can't eat more than two pieces of meat every month, and even very few vegetables. I'm so hungry every day that I can't sleep."
A thin girl next to Jin Bao cried softly: "My family has nothing to do with me, and my parents don't care about me. Others work for two or three years and then return to the city. I guess I will have to stay in the countryside if I can't get into college."
To the point of death, woo woo..."
"Don't worry, believe in yourself! All of us will definitely be able to get into college!"
"Yes!" The educated youths in the same production team cheered, "We can all pass the exam."
Jinbao stood against the wall, flipping through the math knowledge points at random, thinking that nearly 540,000 people applied for the Guangdong College Entrance Examination, and more than 8,700 people were finally admitted. The admission rate was about 1.6%, which was more than double the national admission rate of 4.7%.
Only a very small number of people can go to college.
However, as long as the educated youths wait for another two years, they will be able to wait for the notice to all return to the city, and they will not have to die in the countryside.
Two days of exams passed in the blink of an eye, and Jinbao found that the exam papers were much easier than she imagined.
Although the contents of high school books are so complicated, the college entrance examination is so simple...
Jinbao took the real test papers from 1961 to 1965, and they were not a little more difficult than the college entrance examination in 1977.
Except for politics, which took a long time, she basically finished the other subjects in half an hour. Later, she checked several times and spent half an hour. She felt that there was no point in staying any longer, so she just handed in the papers and left.
"Third brother, what do you think of this exam?" Jinbao asked.
"It's very simple," Su Wennian finished and looked at his sister, "Jinbao, what do you think?"
"I also thought it was very simple. It was so simple that I thought I had taken the wrong test paper." Jinbao sighed.
"The college entrance examination has been suspended for 11 years. Most people have not read much in these years, and this time the college entrance examination is so rushed. The questions must not be as difficult as before. Otherwise, how many people will be able to do it?" Su Wennian said.
Jinbao thought it made sense, "That's right, no wonder."
After the exam, she no longer had to read, and she suddenly felt like she didn't know what to do.
"My parents went to live with my eldest brother. I heard that they are also planning to visit my grandparents' house. I don't know when they will come back. Now there are only fourth and fifth brothers at home. How about I go back and help them?" Jinbao said,
"Help feed the chickens and ducks."
Su Wennian was reluctant to let his sister go, but he thought that he had to work now and couldn't accompany her. It would be too boring for her to stay at home alone every day, so he agreed: "Okay, then I will take you to the car in two days."
After saying that, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and took a newspaper to Jinbao, "Take a good look at this."
It was a newspaper on November 9, which announced the enrollment status and majors of 115 colleges and universities across the country in Guangdong, including 98 science colleges (including engineering, medicine, agriculture, and forestry), and 13 liberal arts colleges (including foreign languages,
4 institutes (Finance, Politics and Law), Art, and Sports.
Jin Bao read casually, "Fresh graduates cannot apply for agricultural colleges. This year, agricultural colleges are recruiting intellectual youths and agricultural science and technology activists who have more than two years of practical experience and meet the enrollment requirements."
It actually requires work experience. It seems that there is no way for her to learn agriculture.
"Jin Bao, have you ever thought about which major to apply for?" Su Wennian asked while handing Jin Bao a glass of water.
Jinbao took the water, took a sip, and shook his head, "I don't know."
She set her sights on Jinghai University and saw that the departments enrolling students include the Department of Clinical Medicine, the Department of Measurement and Control Technology and Instruments, the Department of Economics, the Department of Sociology, the Department of International Politics, and the Department of Computer Science and Technology...
"Computer science and technology." Jinbao read it subconsciously.
"Jin Bao, are you interested in computers?" Su Wennian said, "It feels like a very new subject, but I don't know what you are mainly studying. Are you learning how to build a computer?"
After speaking, he continued: "By the way, I remembered one thing. The country built the first microcomputer this year. It is said that the shortest instruction execution time is only 2 microseconds. It is a particularly powerful research invention."
Jin Bao was dazed while holding the newspaper, thinking that there were not many computers at this time, so what could he major in computer science?
But regardless of whether she has a computer or not, she has learned programming before, so the university courses will definitely be a lot easier, and many companies need computer talents. It would be good to enter a computer research institute, or sell computers in the future, which is very promising.
In short, if she chooses to major in computer science this time, she will no longer have to be a hard-working coder.
It is better to have one more lifetime of experience than to learn a completely unfamiliar major from scratch.
The next day, she learned that she had to fill in her application before the results of the college entrance examination came out. Jinbao thought that her score should be quite high this time, so she applied directly to the best Jinghai University without hesitation, majored in computer science, and then went to the admissions office.
Submitted the application form.
"Hey! I'm still young, but I have a big appetite."
The staff of the Admissions Office saw that Jinbao's preferred school was Jinghai University, and said with a smile: "Little sister, let me remind you, Jinghai University has only two enrollments in the province, and this number is also inaccurate.
Yes, if your grades are not good, they may not recruit anyone, so you might as well choose a school in the province first, which is relatively safer."
"I feel that my grades should be very good," Jinbao said. "If they don't recruit me, I will have to take the exam again next year."
The person from the admissions office felt that she was too young and conceited, "Okay, anyway, I've warned you. When the time comes, you can watch other students come to get the admission notice, but you are the only one who doesn't have one, so don't cry."
