Apart from Lin Mo's matter, there was another important thing.
That was the results of the monthly exam.
After the teachers of each subject worked overtime to grade the papers, the results were quickly out.
The first class happened to be Chen Xiaoya's class, so the results were not posted on the blackboard.
"Here she comes, here comes the ugly duckling!" someone whispered.
Everyone quickly returned to their seats.
And Chen Xiaoya slowly walked over from the corridor near the office.
Everyone was a little worried.
Because they were not sure where they would rank in this monthly exam.
Especially since there were so many subjects, not everyone was a well - rounded student.
Chen Xiaoya paced over, put her things on the podium, and scanned the whole class with a sharp look in her eyes. "Do you guys think the monthly exam was tiring?"
"Tiring!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
"It's normal to feel tired. There are a total of nine subjects, covering all the subjects in both liberal arts and science. This is not only to measure your scores but also to figure out your future direction of study.
After you enter Grade 11 and choose between liberal arts and science, you won't have to take so many subjects in one exam."
It's another form of PUA.
However, exams in high school are very frequent. There are monthly exams, mid - term exams, joint exams after the mid - term exams, and then final exams.
There are no joint exams in Grade 10. After the mid - term exam, there is another monthly exam, and then the final exam.
In Grade 11, although there are fewer exam subjects, the number of exams becomes more frequent.
You have to take exams from time to time.
In Grade 12, you basically just do test papers.
Grade 10 is just a low - intensity mode.
However, Chen Xiaoya said this to relax the students' nerves. After all, the first monthly exam couldn't tell much.
Moreover, the more exams there were, the more obvious the phenomenon of being weak in certain subjects would be.
"Okay, let me announce the results first. The total score for the nine subjects is 1050 points. We'll rank you according to the total score, including the scores of the whole school."
What was actually meant by the scores of the whole school here were the scores of the grade.
Because the scores of different grades were not comparable, but for the sake of sounding better, they always referred to it as the whole school.
In their seats, everyone sat up straight, waiting for the results of the first monthly exam.
"Lin Jiajun, tenth place, 867 points, 324th in the whole school."
"Mu Linsheng, ninth place, 874 points, 311th in the whole school."
...
"Jiang Yunlu, third place, 941 points, 31st in the whole school."
"Xue Zigui, second place, 945 points, 28th in the whole school."
Hearing this, Xue Zigui immediately turned to look at Lin Mo.
He was sure that Lin Mo must be the first.
Chen Xiaoya continued to read.
"Lin Mo, first place, 995 points, 2nd in the whole school."
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows. There was actually someone more outstanding than him. Whose subordinate could it be?!
But the class was in an uproar.
Scoring over 900 points out of 1050 meant being a well - rounded student.
Hearing the students' voices, Chen Xiaoya put down the form in her hand and then distributed it to the student sitting in the front row.
"I won't announce the remaining rankings. But what I want to tell you is, don't take this total score of the nine subjects too seriously. Since you haven't chosen your majors yet, the scores of this exam are just for reference! Do you understand!"
Indeed, the ranking wasn't particularly important. Because some students simply gave up the scores of the other set of subjects, which might result in a lower total score. But after choosing their majors in Grade 11, their grades would be among the top.
Xue Zigui turned to look at Lin Mo.
"You're really amazing."
Lin Mo waved his hand. "I'll choose science. What's the use if it's the liberal arts that boost my score?"
Being so modest, Xue Zigui still shook his head.
"Even so, it's just because you've divided your energy among other subjects."
Xue Zigui was a study fanatic.
In his previous life, he regarded Jiang Yunlu as his rival. But later, Jiang Yunlu changed classes. Xue Zigui thought it didn't matter where he was, so he stayed in Class 8.
In this life, the rival in Xue Zigui's eyes was Lin Mo.
Jiang Yunlu was also a little surprised by Lin Mo's results. Although in her eyes, Lin Mo often took notes, she thought he was only good at science.
But unexpectedly, he was a well - rounded student.
The score sheet was passed around among the students.
Everyone thought Lin Mo was amazing.
Jiang Yunlu looked at the score sheet in her hand. Lin Mo got 135 points in Chinese, 150 points in Math, and 140 points in English.
He got high scores in the three main subjects. Then, he got full marks in Physics, 99 points in Chemistry, and 98 points in Biology.
This poet?
Jiang Yunlu then looked at her own scores. She had deductions in almost every subject.
Obviously, Lin Mo was better at science. Moreover, he attended an Olympiad Math training class. It was almost certain that he would choose science.
The score sheet continued to be passed down. When it reached Xue Zigui, he gasped.
He stared at Lin Mo in shock. "You..."
He didn't know what to say next.
After Lin Jiajun took it, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This isn't just a top student. He's a genius, okay?"
With such high scores, he could choose either liberal arts or science.
The exclamations in the classroom kept coming, like waves.
Everyone was amazed by Lin Mo's scores.
But if this went on, would they still have time for class?
So Chen Xiaoya slapped the table. "Be quiet, all of you. You are all talented. If you lack talent, make up for it with hard work.
Usually, Lin Mo takes notes in class. You shouldn't just look at others' scores but also their learning methods.
Here, I hope you can learn from Lin Mo."
With such learning ability and such grades, wasn't it easy for him to get into top universities like Tsinghua and Peking?
As long as he could maintain this level, he could even compete for the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
Suddenly, Xue Zigui stood up.
Looking at this guy, Lin Mo could feel a strong sense of second - dimension aura quickly spreading.
"Lin Mo, the outcome is not yet determined. I will be a dark horse and defeat you!"
It was embarrassing but also inspiring.
Although there was no battle yet, Lin Mo couldn't help thinking in his heart that it was more exciting than a battle.
Chen Xiaoya didn't stop praising Lin Mo. Instead, she said, "Lin Mo's high school entrance examination results were just average in the class. But in the first monthly exam, he ranked among the top. If he can do it, can't you?"
Fine, using my name to stimulate the classmates in the class, right?
Lin Mo actually didn't really care, but quite a few people were indeed stimulated.
Many people looked at Lin Mo with the thought:
So you're the one who likes to outperform others, huh.
On the contrary, Fang Jun and An Yuexin in the back row said, "Do you think Lin Mo has awakened some kind of top - student system? Is he cheating?"
"What? Do you also want to buy one? Then buy one for me too." An Yuexin curled his lips.
After that, it was a regular class. Chen Xiaoya started to explain the importance of a wrong - question notebook.
So everyone began to record their wrong questions.
This was probably the start of a normal high - school student's life.
