Who doesn’t want to rise to the top in one step? There are so many students who want to enter the School of Mathematics. Even in the Imperial College, there are a thousand people who have gone through layers of screening and taken the final exam.
With such a large number of people, the examination venue cannot be chosen to be in the palace, but the examination room is well guarded and is no less than the palace.
Even a serious imperial examination is nothing more than that.
There are ten different sets of test questions for one thousand candidates, and there are one hundred people in each examination room. Every candidate has different test questions, front, back, left, right, and in all directions, which makes the possibility of them cheating and plagiarism extremely low.
Changde also questioned Li Yi about the fairness of this method, and the answer he got was that luck is also a kind of strength. Among these ten sets of questions, some are indeed extremely difficult, but in general, the difficulty level is quite
of.
Changde didn't know what the difficulty coefficient was, but he understood what Li Yi meant.
If he gets a difficult problem in this situation, it only means that he has bad luck. People with bad luck are better off not entering the court...
I just don’t know who are the unlucky ones?
But this is not what he should worry about. All he has to do is follow Li Yi's arrangements and do it step by step.
There was still an hour before the exam officially started, and a lot of people had already gathered under a high wall outside the exam room.
Many candidates pointed at the red paper posted on the high wall.
"I was assigned to the tenth examination room, No. 35."
"Look for me, look for me..."
"There are so many names, it's hard to see them."
…
…
The exam rules on the side were clearly written. Everyone needed to find their own exam room and seats before taking the exam. Countless people poked their heads at the wall.
"I also found it, the fifth examination room, No. 1."
"I'm actually No. 1. I'm impressed. I'm also No. 5 in the examination room, but I'm No. 2. I'm only missing one number."
"Chengzheng, chengzheng! Brother, you are actually very powerful."
Looking at the two young people complimenting each other, a certain head of the Ministry of Etiquette came over, glanced at everyone lightly, and said: "The examination room and seat numbers are all randomly assigned. What do you admire?"
After failing to pretend, the two blushed and went elsewhere. They were in the same examination room, with only one seat apart. Presumably, they would have a lot in common in the next hour.
"May I ask, sir, why are there no first and second examination rooms?" a young man in ordinary clothes asked curiously.
The head of the Ministry of Etiquette glanced at him and said, "Why, your name is not on it?"
The young man shook his head quickly, "I've found it. It's in the tenth examination room."
"Then don't ask so many questions." The head of the Etiquette Department said coldly and left.
When the young man was stunned, someone sighed and said, "Brother, there is no need to ask just now. Isn't it obvious? The first and second examination rooms are all filled with officials' children. What's the matter with us?"
All the students present were from poor families and did not have any powerful backgrounds, so they cherished this opportunity very much and arrived at the entrance of the examination room early. Many people in the crowd shook their heads and sighed.
The fathers of those people were all dignitaries and high-ranking officials in the dynasty, so how could they be compared to them?
Even among them, many people are well aware that this time when it comes to college enrollment, most of the places will be chosen among those people. As for them, it is still unknown how many of them will be able to get in.
"Since the allocation is arbitrary, why are the first two examination rooms filled with officials' children?" A student said angrily: "This time, I'm afraid it will be their one-man show again!"
"Impossible. I heard that this time, His Majesty secured a lot of places for us poor students. Today's school entrance examination, County Uncle Li only gave 200 places to the officials' children. No matter how you look at it, we have more opportunities.
…”
To say that the people who are most grateful to the students from poor families are His Majesty and Uncle Li Xian, the Superintendent of the School of Mathematics.
His Majesty has been very kind to students from poor families in recent years. Various government decrees and measures have given hope to many poor students. Although County Uncle Li is similar in age to them, the things he has done have made him in these
He received absolute respect in people's hearts, especially this time regarding the enrollment of the college. He was obviously intentionally supporting poor students, and everyone's respect for him has turned into gratitude.
Everyone was silent regarding the young student's question.
How can this matter be so simple? The powerful people obviously will not give up these important positions to others. They themselves can't compete for them. How can these people who come from humble backgrounds have such a thing?
Which quotas they want to get couldn't be simpler.
Candidates will be allowed to enter the venue a quarter of an hour before the exam starts.
At this time, sedan chairs finally appeared in the distance, and some young people with extraordinary clothes and elegant demeanor walked towards them in groups, talking and laughing.
"Brother Qin, why are you here too?"
"There is no way, no one at home wants to come over, so the old man just designated me... Do you want to enter that academy too?"
"Oh, me too. My second uncle said that arithmetic talents are scarce and the academy of arithmetic will definitely take off in the future, so I have to get in no matter what."
…
…
Someone came up to them from a distance, took these people to the examination room, and arranged them to sit down in the order they had been arranged.
"No noise is allowed in the examination room!" More than a dozen palace guards stood in the examination room with cold expressions. No matter how arrogant and domineering these officials' children were on weekdays, they could only keep their mouths shut at this moment.
Even the palace guards were sent here, which shows that His Majesty attaches great importance to this enrollment.
However, they are not too worried about the results. Those who can be sent here by their families will naturally not be idiots. In terms of educational resources, they are much richer than those from poorer families. Under the premise of fair competition, they don’t need to
Power can overwhelm others, but they can easily win.
After the gong sounded, officials from the Ministry of Rites took out the unopened test papers, which were inspected by the palace guards and distributed to everyone one by one according to the numbers on them.
Among the poor students, when they opened the test paper, some looked happy, while more people frowned. The question was not the new arithmetic they were worried about, but it was also much more difficult than what they had seen before. They probably glanced at it.
After that, I felt that I might not be able to solve a few questions in an hour.
For similar questions, the performance of the officials' children in the first two examination rooms was slightly better than that of the students from poor families. Many people have begun to answer with confidence, but there are also some people whose expressions are different from everyone else's.
Chen Lisen, the second son of the Chen family, glanced at his test paper and felt dizzy. He never had the courage to take a second look.
These ghostly drawings look like talismans, what are they?
There was not a single question in the entire test paper that he could understand!
Limit, double integral, derivative... I know these words, but when they are put together, what do they mean?
The expression on Mr. Chen's face was extremely confused.
There are many people with such expressions, including Qin Feng, the fourth son of the Qin family, Cui Xixin, the second son of the Cui family, Li Jianren, son of the Minister of Industry...
Picking up the pen but unable to put it down, they turned around and saw the people around them who were writing with pens. After a brief moment of astonishment, they began to doubt their lives.
