In the following days, Su Mu entered a tense state of studying, and Li Ping'an easily got the retest materials about the SSAT from his fellow tablemate, who was also a scumbag.

I had never considered the issue of transferring schools before, so naturally I would not prepare for it, compared with other students, Su Mu had fallen behind a lot, but his pressure was not great, and there was no need to panic when he had goods in his stomach.

In fact, even if he doesn't read, he is sure that he will be admitted to a good private middle school, and the reason why he has worked so hard in recent days is because Su Mu hopes to get a full scholarship from a private middle school.

In order to show fairness, these excellent private secondary schools generally set up several special enrollment places every year, so that children with excellent grades but cannot afford tuition fees also have the opportunity to enjoy the same education as others, and also to recruit high-quality students, so as to increase the number of students admitted to the world's top universities in the future.

All students in the United States know the SSAT, and in layman's terms, the American High School Admission Test (SSAT) is similar to the high school entrance examination, in addition to the SAT and ACT, which correspond to the college entrance examination.

In order to save $50,000 or so in tuition for a few years and to get a good chance at a private high school, he had to score high enough on tests to outperform other students and eventually get a private high school to agree to go to school for free......

On June 6th, there are only four days left before the SSAT exam, which was supposed to be held last month, but it was postponed to this time because the test questions were leaked out in advance, which is definitely a good thing for Su Mu, otherwise he would have missed it.

The campus environment in Castellar is very bad, there is not much green vegetation, even the playground is just paved with sand, and it will accumulate water on rainy days, if anyone is unlucky and falls on it, they will be injured a little, and after school at night, you can see students chasing and playing, playing and laughing, and there are many people who talk about love, but few people think about studying.

It was still early before the ACT, so the library became the quietest place in the school, there were only about 30 students in a small library, the air was full of strange smells of moldy books because of improper storage, and last month's shooting killed a total of four students and injured three others, it is hard to imagine the cause of this kind of thing, just because one student was scolded, psychologically traumatic, so revenge was taken.

The unlucky student who committed the crime was arrested by the police to await trial, and the unfortunate students who died unexpectedly were forever stuck in May 1984, when the school held a mourning party and caused a heated discussion in California, and it is no longer talked about.

For Su Mu, this accident prompted his family to start to fully support him to transfer to a private middle school, his father Su Dingcai continued to take care of the small restaurant, just learned the craft of cooking garlic crayfish, but did not expect the business to be very good, the small restaurant often closed until midnight, the noisy sound of the house made Su Mu decide to stay in the library every day to read, and then go home after being busy.

Old man Su went to work as a security guard to look at the warehouse at an age, went out at eight o'clock every night, and came back the next morning, living a life of going out late and returning early, almost sleeping during the day, his spirit always seemed sluggish, his son and daughter-in-law asked him to resign and rest, and the stubborn old man didn't stop at all.

Su Mu's mother also went out to work, working as a cleaner for various hotels during the day, earning a meager salary, and at night she had to help her husband take care of the restaurant, and she could not go to bed until late every day.

Su Mu saw all these things, all of which were the reasons why he studied hard.

The teacher will not disturb him when he no longer listens to the teacher's lectures during class, but he takes the time to review the lessons and squeeze in the morning and evening to read, because Su Mu has already learned this stage of knowledge, and they are happy to see students working so hard, even if the reason is to escape the school where they work......

"You...... You know it's useless to do so many exercises, right?

I mean, the SSTA exam question bank is different every time, and the questions we get are different, and I've been observing for a week, and you've been doing all kinds of papers since the week, and it's a waste of time. ”

In the library, which was not quiet, the voice suddenly sounded.

Not long after Su Mu sat down, after wiping the table, he took out a few test papers from his schoolbag and put them on it, looked up at the white girl sitting in front of him, and knew from the books in front of her that she was also a student who was planning to take the SSAT.

Blue eyes, blonde hair, fair skin, very pure white girl, very beautiful, a bit like Vivien Leigh in the black and white movie, and Su Mu are classmates, named Lily Temple, but Su Mu's perception of her is only limited to her name, although they have been in the same class for more than two years, they have never spoken to each other.

Unlike the poor students, including Su Mu, the girl named Lily Temple has a very rich family, and it can be seen from her usual dress that her father is the biggest director of the school, and there are other businesses, and Mercedes-Benz picks her up home every day after school, and the two live in different worlds, and the reason why they haven't spoken for so long is mainly because Su Mu is lazy and doesn't like to talk, and there are always so many friends.

Perhaps frightened by Su Mu's learning style, she continued at the moment: "These questions are not all for the exam, I remember that you have excellent grades, but if you want to be admitted to an excellent school, amateur expertise, extracurricular activities, social services, letters of recommendation, interviews, etc. are also very important.

If your parents know someone they know, such as an alumnus of a good private high school, they can also get extra points, sorry...... I know I'm verbose, just wanted to remind you. ”

After making eye contact with Lily-Temple, Su Mu was sure that the other party was really talking to him, and his face was obviously stunned for two seconds, and then he showed a smile and replied in a low voice, "Thank you."

I know this, but I just think that it will be a little helpful to finish the questions in the question bank, the questions are different from the previous tests, but the test points are the same, I am not as good as others in terms of hobbies and specialties, so the SSAT test score must be excellent, today is almost all done, I will prepare for the interview and essay in the next two days.

The letter of recommendation has been prepared by Ms. Susie, and I just knew that alumni can add points, but unfortunately my parents used to be in public middle schools and would definitely not go to their alma mater, so ...... No way. ”

Hearing "all done", Lily was obviously stimulated, and for the first time really looked at Su Mu, Chinese good grades are the consensus of all students, and Su Mu's grades are higher than her every time.

There had never been a topic to talk about before, in fact, she didn't have a lot of words, but there was no opportunity and necessity to talk, so she asked curiously: "I'm sorry, can I ask your vocabulary?"

I memorized about 8,500 words and was a little worried about the reading and vocabulary questions on the exam. ”

Su Mu thought about it for a short time and said: "I don't know very well, I just finished reading the entire Collins Advanced English-English Dictionary last year, plus I memorized a few dictionaries before, so there are about more than 20,000, I have read the questions of these two exam subjects, and it doesn't seem to be difficult, so I didn't practice." ”

Miss Lily was suddenly frightened, and at this moment, Su Mu's eyes looked like she was looking at a monster......
