It was too low!
This was way too low!
Every year, the difficulty of each province's college entrance exam was different from the national exam. Sometimes, it would be easier for one province, while other times, it would be more difficult for another province. It was impossible for the entire country to have the same difficulty, so there were differences in the scores between the provinces, cities, and autonomous regions. However, this difference was actually not that big. Sometimes, it was just a difference of one or two points!
But for the Beijing college entrance exam this time?
The Chinese Literature exam was nearly 30 points lower than the national average?
The Math exam was even more shocking. It was 40 points lower than the national average!
Adding everything together, the total scores of the Beijing examinees were lower than the national average by more than 70 points??
This number had really shocked a lot of the netizens!
Equally shocked were the Beijing Higher Education Entrance Examination Board and those question setters!
...
At the office of the Higher Education Entrance Examination Board.
"What the heck!"
"This …"
"There's no mistake with the calculations, right?"
"Why don't we calculate it again?"
Quite a few of the staff at the Higher Education Entrance Examination Board were gasping. They had received this data a long time ago and were also responsible for calculating it. But ever since they received the actual data in the morning, every single one of them could not help but gasp every time they saw this figure!
It was too tragic!
It was simply too tragic to look at!
If the media and industry insiders had previously analyzed this year's Beijing Mathematics college entrance examination as the most difficult in Beijing's history, then after seeing this score, they would have to change their opinion. This was no longer the most difficult in Beijing's history, but the most difficult in the entire country's history!
The average score for the Math exam was 59 points?
The average score for each examinee was only 59 points?
There had never been such a low average score for the Math exam in the history of the college entrance exam!
Many of the old comrades who had worked at the Higher Education Entrance Examination Board for many years felt that this was an eye-opener for them. They had never heard of or seen something like this before!
Zhang Ye and a few dozen other question setters had also come to the Higher Education Entrance Examination Board today. They had come here for a meeting to discuss some matters, but they ended up witnessing this scene.
Su Na looked at Zhang Ye.
Immediately, everyone's gaze fell on Zhang Ye's face.
Zhang Ye coughed and also felt a little embarrassed. "Ahem, about that, the cutoff score will be lowered anyway, so there's no difference. It won't affect the admissions either." Even he did not have the confidence to say that. Actually, Zhang Ye did not expect the examinees' scores to be like this.
Silence.
Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward and no one was speaking, Zhang Ye immediately said to Dean Pan, "I already said from the start that I wouldn't come, but you still insisted on calling me! Sigh! "
The people from the Higher Education Entrance Examination Board: "…"
Dean Pan nearly fainted from anger. "Kid, are you pushing the blame onto me again?"
One of the leaders from the Higher Education Entrance Examination Board didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Things are already like this. If the scores are low, so be it. At most, it'll just be a little embarrassing for them. It's nothing much."
Zhang Ye immediately said, "That's right, that's right. It's not a big deal at all! We can handle it! "
That Higher Education Entrance Examination Board leader nearly fainted. He thought to himself, 'I was just trying to give you a way out of this embarrassing situation, but you're really cooperative!'
But just as he said, the rice had already been cooked. What else could they do now? He could only follow the procedure and carry on with the current situation!
"It's a good thing that there's someone who scored full marks in Mathematics," a director from the Higher Education Entrance Examination Board consoled himself.
Zhang Ye was surprised and asked with interest, "There are full marks?"
The man nodded. "Just one person. It's a girl."
Zhang Ye was very curious who it was, "What's her name?"
The man replied, "Her name is Huang Lingling."
Huang Lingling?
It's her??
Zhang Ye immediately smiled. It was a very gratified smile.
He really did know this girl. During the International Math Olympiad held at Summer Palace, Huang Lingling was one of the contestants representing China's youth team. Together with her younger brother, Huang Leilei, Zhang Ye got to know them at that time and had a lot of conversations with them. Huang Lingling even said that if she got into Peking University in the future, she would want to be Zhang Ye's student so that he could personally teach her Mathematics. Who knew that she would be taking the college entrance exam this year?
… …
Soon after.
The cutoff scores for the Beijing college entrance exam were released.
Liberal Arts 1 college entrance exam: 467
Science 1 college entrance exam: 464
Liberal Arts 2 college entrance exam: 425
Science 2 college entrance exam: 421
All of the cutoff scores for the college entrance exam dropped drastically! It was so low that not many people had even heard of it before!
In an instant, the Beijing college entrance exam became the focus of discussion once again. Not only did it appear on Beijing Television and the other provincial television stations, it even appeared on Central TV Department 1's News Simulcast that night!
Although Zhang Ye was currently working at Central TV Department 1, the organization of Central TV Department 1 was quite bloated and divided into many departments. Their entertainment variety program team did not have any interaction with the News Simulcast team, so even though Zhang Ye had been working at Central TV Department 1 for so many days, he still did not know which floor the News Simulcast program team was working on. Hence, Central TV's News Simulcast broadcast of the Beijing college entrance exam was not to give face to Zhang Ye, nor was it to give face to the program team of The Voice. It was purely because this year's Beijing college entrance exam had caused such a stir!
The exposure of the Beijing college entrance exam had skyrocketed!
Zhang Ye's exposure had also skyrocketed!
Overall, although he was being scolded, it was not a bad thing for Zhang Ye. His popularity continued to rise by the day!
… …
On Weibo.
When the cutoff scores for the Beijing college entrance exam were announced, the scolding from the examinees gradually died down.
"That scared me to death. Luckily, I managed to get into a first college entrance exam!"
"I managed to get into a second college entrance exam. Your sister! I thought that with a low score of 430 points in the science subjects, I would only be able to get into a vocational college. I didn't expect that I managed to get into a second college entrance exam!"
"Everyone's scores were low, so the cutoff scores were lowered!"
"I was also very lucky to get into a first college entrance exam!"
"It's alright, it's alright. Looking at the results, I did quite well this year. Usually, I only managed to get into a second college entrance exam. But this year, because the questions were too weird and flexible, it actually matched my style and allowed me to showcase my abilities. I even managed to get into a first college entrance exam!"
"But I still have a lingering fear."
"Yeah, I don't want to do those kinds of questions a second time in my life!"
"Reject drugs and stay away from Zhang Ye!"
"Let Teacher Zhang Ye go as far as he can! Please don't come back and harm us again! "
"I'm in my second year of high school and will be taking the college entrance exam next year. Beijing Higher Education Entrance Examination Board, I have to thank you all. Hurry up and chase that fellow Zhang Ye away! That fellow is such a grandson! "
"Please chase Zhang Ye away!"
"Me too!"
Suddenly, quite a few students from other provinces were gloating at their misfortune. Among them, there were also a lot of second year high school examinees who would be taking the college entrance exam next year who were laughing at them.
"Hehe."
"Every year, your Beijing exams are always the easiest, so it's about time you guys get a hard one. The difficulty is actually not too bad, haha!"
"Yeah, the wheel of fortune has turned. It's your turn now!"
"Students of Beijing, have a safe journey!"
"Ha, I suggest that the Beijing Higher Education Entrance Examination Board get Zhang Ye to come up with the questions every year. Who asked your Beijing schools to have so many resources and enrollment quotas? Of course they have to make things difficult for you!"
"I'm delighted to hear that!"
"Zhang Ye, well done!"
"Actually, the questions could have been a little more difficult!"
"Teacher Zhang, keep up the good work next year and make things difficult for them!"
"Right, I'll be taking the national exam next year anyway, so there's nothing to be afraid of!"
Quite a lot of people were jeering.
The Beijing examinees were all gnashing their teeth in hatred!
At this moment, a piece of news suddenly appeared on the Internet. It was a conversation between a reporter and the person in charge of the National College Entrance Examination's question setting team.
It was as follows:
Reporter: "Professor Niu, the college entrance exam scores are out."
Professor Niu: "Yeah."
Reporter: "This year's Beijing exams are getting a lot of attention. According to the latest news I received, the average score of the Beijing examinees in Math is only slightly over 50 points.
Professor Niu: "I saw that too."
Reporter: "What do you think of this? There was a lot of scolding on the Internet. Was the Beijing exams too difficult for the examinees? "
Professor Niu: "I've also seen some of the comments on the internet. Actually, my thoughts are the exact opposite of yours. I feel that this year's Beijing Exam's questions were set very well. It was innovative and difficult. Moreover, it was able to achieve the basic function of grading the examinees. My evaluation is — this year's Beijing Exam's standards are very high. This year's question setter's standards are also very high. On the path of reforming the exam, Beijing is at the forefront. We've also discussed before. If it's possible, we would like to invite Teacher Zhang Ye over to try and reform the exam."
...
When they saw this news, those second-year high school students from the provinces and cities who were afraid of Beijing getting into chaos all turned green in the face!
Suddenly, all of them exploded!
"They want to invite Zhang Ye for the national exams?"
"F * ck your Fifth Granny!"
"Don't!"
"Bro, I have a heart condition, don't tease me!"
"How can this be!"
"Fuck your grandpa! They're trying to kill us! "
"Beijing has already served as a warning. They've already killed a large number of examinees, so it's going to be our turn next year? Your sister! I protest! I'll be the first to protest! "
"This is too inhumane!"
"Professor Niu, don't mess around!"
"Old Comrade Niu, if you dare to invite Zhang Ye over next year, I'll throw a rock at your window! Just how much of a grudge do you have against the provinces and cities covered by the national exams! "
"Let Zhang Ye go! Let him go! "
"Sob sob sob, I don't want to see him!"
"It's over, we're done for next year!"
They, who had just been mocking the Beijing examinees, were now all dumbfounded!
If the Beijing exams only involved a small number of examinees, then the national exams covered too many provinces. This was the most mainstream exam that covered the largest number of people. With this, many of the second-year preparatory students and even the first-year students from the various provinces and autonomous regions could not agree to it! This powerful group suddenly erupted into screams and screams on the Internet. It was earth-shattering, with wails and howls!
"No!"
"Teacher, I want to die!"
"My balls suddenly hurt a little!"
In contrast, the Beijing examinees bent over in joy!
"Hahahahaha!"
"Serves you right!"
"Who asked you to make fun of us!"
"Aiyo, I'm dying of laughter! I'm dying of laughter! "
"This is what they call extreme joy begets sorrow, hahahaha!"
"Zhang Ye's exams, I'll let you all have a taste of them next year! Let's see if any of you can still laugh! "
"Take care!"
"The jinx has gone to look for you. Good luck to you all!"
The Internet was in an uproar again!
Some people were crying, some people were shouting, and some people were watching the fun. It was a mess!
