Chapter 16: The preliminary round begins

A few minutes later.

Although An Ruosu strongly objected, Xiao Ran still insisted on sending her to the No. 2 examination room.

At that time, the invigilator had just distributed the test papers.

The timing was just right!

When he came out of the No. 2 examination room, the bell for the beginning of the exam rang, and Xiao Ran knew that it was 9 o'clock.

So, he immediately rushed to the No. 8 examination room.

Exam room 8 and test room 2 are located on the easternmost side and the other on the west side, which are very far apart.

However, Xiao Ran didn't run over in a panic at this time, he still walked at a normal pace, only slightly faster.

He knew that even if he ran over now, he would save up to 2 minutes of his time.

However, running will inevitably lead to impetuousness, irritability, and panting, and then it will probably take a while to calm down, and the gains outweigh the losses.

It's better to walk over calmly and try to keep yourself calm.

An Ruosu was sitting in front of the window at this time, she looked at Xiao Ran's back in the distance, and there was an inexplicable meaning in her heart.

Although she kept persuading Xiao Ran to go first, Xiao Ran was still so stubborn.

If it were another boy, An Ruosu knew very well that she would never let people accompany her, and she would still support herself.

But for Xiao Ran, she found that she seemed to be a little powerless.

Moreover, the scene just now seems to be inexplicably familiar.

On that rainy night in junior high school, he seemed to be like this, stubborn, and finally carried himself.

Thinking of this, An Ruosu couldn't help but smile.

A knowing smile!

Xiao Ran was still walking on the road on the campus of the test center.

He looked to both sides, and now the various examination rooms were in the state of the exam.

Some of the candidates in the examination room are looking around, some are flipping the test papers, and some have already begun to write hard.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran suddenly felt a little trance in his heart.

It was the first big exam he had to take after being reborn.

Everything is so familiar and strange at the same time!

Xiao Ran, who was walking normally on campus, naturally attracted the attention of some invigilators and candidates.

After all, now that everyone is nervously taking exams, such a student who seems to be "walking slowly" is too eye-catching.

Xiao Ran is now wearing the school uniform of No. 2 Middle School, and although the people next to him may not know which school he is, they all know that this is a student.

If this student is here at this moment, he must have come to take the exam.

However, this candidate is inevitably too calm.

"I'll go, which big guy is this, he's so calm when he's late." Some candidates were secretly surprised.

"Rub, pretend to be B and put it in the examination room, my generation is a model, and I will criticize it!" Some candidates were impressed.

"Is this giving up before the exam, scumbag, what a waste of life." Of course, there are also candidates who despise it.

"What's the matter with this student, hurry up and run, it's been a while since the exams started." This is the invigilator who saw it and was secretly anxious.

Xiao Ran didn't know that his journey had caused a lot of sighs in the hearts of the invigilators and candidates, and he was finally about to arrive at the No. 8 examination room.

Hu Jianmin is one of the invigilators in the No. 8 examination room, and he is also the mathematics teacher in the second key class of Caozhou No. 1 High School.

He naturally noticed this "piercing" Xiao Ran, and he thought that this candidate was a little strange at the time.

Today, this is the preliminary round of the National High School Mathematics League, bringing together the best mathematics students in Caozhou City.

It is no exaggeration to say that this exam is comparable to a battlefield, and if you don't pay attention, you may miss and return home.

Because, more than 2,000 students from Caozhou City participated in this year, and only 50 were able to enter the semi-finals.

Therefore, although each of them is extraordinary, all of them are like a great enemy, and they put out one hundred and twenty points of concentration to face this exam.

Thinking of this, Hu Jianmin glanced at the candidate sitting in the middle of the back row in the examination room.

[Even Fang Yiyang, our No. 1 Middle School, came over 10 minutes early today to prepare. 】

Hu Jianmin knew that today's examination environment was unfamiliar to every candidate present.

They need to find an exam room, find a location, organize stationery, adjust their mentality, and prepare early, so that they can fight in the best condition earlier.

But this candidate on campus is different.

Instead of waiting early, he was late.

It's understandable to be late, maybe something is really delayed, but he can run quickly to catch the exam, but he is still there "grinding".

Hu Jianmin couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw this, he felt that this student didn't take this exam too seriously, and he was afraid that he was here to paddle this time.

So, Hu Jianmin didn't care about him anymore, but he didn't expect that after a while, when he looked up, he suddenly found that the candidate was standing at the door of the No. 8 examination room.

Is it a candidate from your own examination room?

Hu Jianmin was puzzled in his heart, he hurriedly stepped forward to check his admission ticket and student ID, etc., well, there is no problem, it is indeed from the No. 8 examination room.

It turned out that his name was Xiao Ran and he was from Caozhou No. 2 Middle School.

At this time, the exam had not been open for more than 15 minutes, and Hu Jianmin didn't say anything, he quickly let Xiao Ran in, and asked him to move lightly.

Xiao Ran found his place and sat down, then looked up at the clock in the examination room.

At 9:05, he was 5 minutes late.

Fortunately, he said secretly in his heart.

5 minutes is not long or short, but for Xiao Ran, it is still within the controllable range.

In the past few days, Xiao Ran has finished the preliminary questions in recent years.

From the beginning of 2 hours to 2 hours to 2 hours to almost finish, and then to the end 10 minutes ahead of schedule.

Therefore, Xiao Ran did not have any waves in his heart after seeing the time now, and he began to check the test paper in a hurry.

Although the types of questions in the 2008 preliminary round are quite different from those in 2020, they are not much different from those in previous years.

There are three question types, a total of 19 questions.

Among them, there are 10 multiple-choice questions, each with 6 points, 4 fill-in-the-blank questions, 6 points each, and 5 answer questions, ranging from 12 to 15 points each.

The full score of the paper is 150 points, and the examination time is two hours.

Xiao Ran glanced at the whole, there was nothing unclear or damaged in the whole volume, and then he took a general look at the content of the answer questions.

There are plane geometry, sets of sequences, inequality functions, and so on, and that's to be expected.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran knew in his heart that the problem should not be big, so he began to officially answer the question.

Hu Jianmin had been observing Xiao Ran just now.

Xiao Ran's position was also in the middle of the back row, just next to Fang Yiyang.

He was afraid that Xiao Ran's movement would affect Fang Yiyang too much, and at the same time, he was also afraid that someone would fish in troubled waters.

So, he kept patrolling and staring at the side, but fortunately, Xiao Ran quickly buried his head and began to answer the questions.

Hu Jianmin looked at Fang Yiyang, who was sitting next to Xiao Ran, and Fang Yiyang was still there to answer the question intently.

Seeing this, Hu Jianmin was relieved, and it didn't seem to affect him.

Hu Jianmin also saw Fang Yiyang when he arrived at the examination room today.

At that time, he was still shocked, he didn't expect that he had met an "acquaintance" in the invigilator.

However, it may be just a one-sided acquaintance, maybe Fang Yiyang doesn't know himself.

Fang Yiyang is a celebrity in Caozhou No. 1 Middle School.

He is a master of all subjects in the first class of the third year of high school, and the first place in the grade.

He has always received full marks in mathematics and is very famous among the mathematics teachers of Caozhou No. 1 Middle School.

Last year, Fang Yiyang was just in his second year of high school, and he won the second provincial level in the first time he participated in the Olympiad competition, tied for the best result in the city, which attracted a lot of attention in Caozhou City at that time.

Because, Caozhou City is a weak city in Qilu Province, and there are very few high school juniors who can win awards every year.

But Fang Yiyang created a miracle for everyone.

Moreover, Fang Yiyang did not seriously study the Olympiad at that time, nor did he participate in the special Olympiad tutoring training, so he took a provincial second when he participated on a whim.

What surprised everyone even more was that Fang Yiyang, who won the award, declined the independent enrollment invitations of many key universities, saying that he wanted to take the Olympiad again.

So, after a year, today he is here again.

"I hope you can go further this year!"

Hu Jianmin secretly blessed the pride of this No. 1 Middle School in his heart.
