Compared with many other students who have been in country M, Jack is not lagging behind in culture classes, but there are many differences in other aspects, but his pressure is not great, and there is no need to panic when he has goods in his stomach.

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 country M know the SSAT, in layman's terms, the high school entrance examination (SSAT) in country M is similar to the high school entrance examination, in addition to the SAT and ACT, corresponding to the college entrance examination, and now Su Mu is facing the SSAT test. It would be a lie to say that studying here has always been easy, in fact, as long as you have ideas, how can you not work very hard? It's just that for many people, continuing to study is not so casual choice, and the SSAT test is the first selection competition in life. Only the winner can move on, while the loser basically enters another world to work hard, and from then on, they start a different life.

In order to save more than $100,000 in tuition fees in a few years and get the opportunity to study in an excellent private high school, there are many students from families who are not very privileged who work very hard, because there are still many people who want to realize this dream, and they must get a high score in the test, which is higher than the vast majority of students, and finally get a private high school to agree to go to school for free......

It's early May, and there is only a short time left before the SSAT exam, which should be held at the end of this month, which is definitely something to look forward to for Jack.

The campus environment of Ravel Private School is very beautiful, too much green vegetation, even the playground has been paved with a layer of plastic runway, there will be automatic drainage on rainy days, even if anyone comes to a flying shovel when playing football, basically will not suffer any injuries, after school at night, you can see chasing and playing, frolicking and laughing students, but there are very few people who talk about love, and they hide the essence of their hard work after playing on the surface, because not many girls will like a nerd who only likes to study! It doesn't seem to take so hard to prove that they are "smart" if they study well!

The ACT exam is not far away, so the library has become the most suitable place for quiet study in the school, a small library is full, and the air is filled with the breath of teenagers working hard, except for the occasional sound of central air conditioning, only the sound of turning books.

There was a school violence incident in a public school at SFS last month, except for the few students who committed the crime were arrested by the police to await trial, and the unlucky students who were physically and mentally injured only received some financial compensation, but when they will really get out of the shadow of this incident, no one knows, maybe soon, maybe forever. In April 2004, the school held a number of meetings to review, which caused a lot of discussion in J State, but people gradually began to forget about it after a while.

For Jack, this accident prompted him to start to increase physical exercise in addition to studying, and re-started practicing some of the special forces routines he had learned with Uncle Tian, and took an hour out of his day to continue to learn self-defense skills with the security personnel hired by his family, not to become a hero, at least not to be bullied like a bear, and even the enthusiastic security uncle at home taught him a lot of methods and skills to survive alone.

And his father and mother continued to take care of the domestic company, and they also had several video calls with him during the period, and then listened to the content of the call between his mother and Xiao's mother, and he also knew that his family's business seemed to be very good and very good. Xiao's mother is also very busy here, and she will work overtime from time to time. If there is no Xiao family's grandfather and grandparents and younger brothers and sisters at home, it would be too lonely, and the family will be together, although sometimes it will be noisy, but only in this way will Jack feel that this is a home, a warm and troublesome home. That's why he runs home every day after school, instead of staying in the library to read books or play with his classmates.

This is Jack's current life, ordinary and busy, everyone can see it, all of them are in a hurry to study hard.

When Jack was in most of his classes, he no longer listened to the teacher's lectures, but seized the time to review the lessons, and squeezed time to read in the morning and evening, and the teacher would not disturb him, because Jack had already learned this stage of knowledge, and they liked to see the students working hard, because they were not the same back then?

"Hello, do you Chinese students study so hard? I mean, while the SSTA exam is very important, it can't be the whole of life. I've been observing for a while, and since you've been here, in addition to the initial period of entertainment, it seems that you've been busy with all kinds of exam preparations lately, isn't that a little too tiring?"

It was already time to get out of school, and in the not quiet classroom, this voice suddenly sounded.

Jack had just cleaned up the table, put the contents of the table in his bag, and looked up at Margaret, a white girl sitting in front of him, who was also a student planning to take the SSAT.

Brown eyes, long blond hair and shawl, fair skin, very pure beautiful white girl, a bit like a movie star, just a juvenile version, she and Jack are classmates, but Jack only knows her, far from being familiar, although they have been in the same class for a while, they have hardly spoken to each other.

Unlike many of the students who ride bicycles, including Jack, Miss Margaret's family is not only rich, but also has a very high status in the local area, as can be seen from her usual dress, her father is the largest director of a private school, and there are other businesses, and there is a full-time driver to drive her home every day after school, as if the two live in different worlds. The reason why I haven't spoken much for so long is mainly because Jack is troublesome, there are too many boys who like her in school, not only white classmates like her, but also many Chinese classmates like her, and even the "flower messenger" about her is everywhere, as a boy who is anxious to solve the problem of going to school in front of him, Jack doesn't dare to have such a mind to provoke her. Anyway, I guess she doesn't mean much to herself!

Perhaps stimulated by Jack's bland expression, she continued: "These questions are not the whole of the exam, I remember that you did very well on the entrance test, but if you want to be admitted to a good school, your amateur talents, extracurricular activities, social services, letters of recommendation, interviews, etc. are also 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 Margaret, Jack 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 feel that I am not as good as others in terms of hobbies, so I have to do well on the SSAT, and then I will prepare for interviews and essays for the rest of the year.

The letter of recommendation has been prepared by Ms. Susan, and I just knew that alumni can add points, but unfortunately my parents didn't study here before, so they definitely won't go to their alma mater, so ...... No way. ”

Lily was obviously stimulated, and for the first time really looked at this very beautiful looking boy, Chinese grades were the consensus of all students, and Jack ranked higher than her every test score.

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, and she asked curiously: "Sorry, can I ask your vocabulary?" I remember about 9,000 words, and I'm a little worried about the reading and vocabulary questions in the exam. ”

Jack thought for a moment before he spoke: "I don't know, but although I left here to live abroad for a few years, the vocabulary of the test last year was about 10,000! plus I memorized a few dictionaries after that, so it was about 15,000." As for the questions of the two exam subjects, I have seen them, although they are a little difficult, but they can basically be overcome. ”

Margaret was suddenly shocked, and looking at Jack at this moment was like a beautiful woman seeing a beautiful dress that she particularly liked......
