192 The True God of Learning

Chu Ning decided to keep a low profile. She felt that 90 points should not be too much.

“Ninety points? God of learning Chu Ning, do you know what the criteria for last year’s silver award was?”

An examinee who came out in advance opened his mouth wide and asked in disbelief.

“For last year’s three silver awards, the lowest score was 89 points, and the highest was 93 points,” another student added.

According to this standard, if Chu Ning hadn’t been bragging, she had a high chance of winning the silver award!

“I’m not sure.” Chu Ning didn’t care about this at all.

“Are you sure you can get 90 points?” Lin Hao asked somewhat excitedly. It wasn’t because he wanted to bet with his good friend to win that month’s salary. If Chu Ning could really get the silver award, Jingyuan High School would reward him handsomely; money was the one thing the school did not lack.

“How about 80 points?” Chu Ning asked tentatively.

Lin Hao was speechless.

He knew that there was no point in asking. When the results came out in a few days, he would know whether or not Chu Ning had been spinning tales.

Half an hour passed quickly. Many students from M City walked into the exam venue with smiles on their faces. Then, they walked back to the meeting point with sad faces. There were even many girls who could not bear it. After they met each other and chatted for a while, they were already sobbing softly…

The questions for this national physics competition were too difficult. They had originally thought that they had made sufficient preparations, but in the end, it turned out that it was far from enough.

Bai Yu walked out of the exam room and saw Chu Ning chatting with others with a relaxed and satisfied expression. Or rather, she was comforting the students who did not do well in the exam. So he walked over.

“Chu Ning, what choice did you choose for the tenth multiple-choice question?” Bai Yu asked seriously.

“I chose item D for the tenth question. I think that the answers provided by the three ABC choices are incorrect. The correct answer is open. It is wrong to give an exact number for everything. Moreover, this is what the person who set the question did on purpose. It seems that there must be a correct choice among the three options. In fact, this is a very high-level knowledge trap. Most students might choose option C and answer according to the knowledge provided in the books, thus obtaining this result.”

Chu Ning knew where Bai Yu’s doubts lay.

“But I was still wrong.” Bai Yu shook his head. He had thought that Chu Ning’s standard was only slightly higher than his, but now it seemed that he could not clearly see where Chu Ning’s upper limit was!

“You should have chosen option A. This is also the choice of a small portion of the examinees. To choose this option means you have considered the question more comprehensively. You have even taken into account the influence of complex factors such as the time difference, and even have to have a solid chemistry foundation. However, this is still just a threshold set by the question setters. There is nothing wrong with your thinking this way, and it can even be said to be flawless. However, the starting point was completely incorrect.”

Chu Ning shook her head. She could even accurately predict Bai Yu’s mental state when he was calculating this question.

“Yes, that’s indeed the case.” Bai Yu nodded. He did not deny that, in his heart, Chu Ning had already surpassed his teacher’s level.

“I guess you spent a lot of time on this question, even if it’s just a multiple choice question. If we follow your method of calculation, it’s a huge and complicated physics multiple choice question. Even if the score is only two points, it has cost you a lot of energy. It’s not worth it.”

Chu Ning said with a smile.

“About 10 minutes,” Bai Yu said after thinking for a moment. Then he continued to ask, “How long did you spend?”

“About ten seconds. It shouldn’t have exceeded than twenty seconds. This is the intention of the question setter. The questions that really waste time are still at the back. He doesn’t need to make things difficult for you with the multiple choice questions at the front. Only the answers at the back are the most time-consuming. An hour and a half of answering time. He will only give you five minutes of free time at most, or not at all.”

When Chu Ning was answering Bai Yu’s question, she subconsciously did not think of herself as an examinee participating in the national physics competition at the same time. She was referring to “all of you”.

Like a teacher, Chu Ning was analyzing the key points of each question for the students around her, as well as how long it should take to solve it, including the intentions of the person who set the question.

“These questions are indeed a little difficult. I spent an hour to finish them. I think they should give all of you two hours. One and a half hours is not enough.”

Chu Ning pursed her lips. She did not mean to show off. Her classmates all knew and recognized her ability. There was no need for that.

She really felt that the timing was unreasonable.
