Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Special Admission Results and Rankings are Out
Sunday evening.
Because everyone knew that today the results would be released, many people started paying attention to the group chat messages from the afternoon, constantly refreshing.
After seven in the evening, the class teacher, Zhou Wu, finally arrived late in the group chat and spoke.
[Zhou Wu: Hello students, the results and rankings for the special recruitment exam have been released. Here is the transcript, please check it by yourselves first.]
[Attachment: Shengjing Special Recruitment Exam Results and Rankings.pdf]
As soon as the transcript was released, everyone naturally rushed to download the file and open it with nervousness and trepidation.
However, after seeing the transcript, the entire Class A’s group chat fell into a dead silence.
It wasn’t that there was nothing to say, but rather the transcript was explosively shocking!
There was too much information, too many shocking points, and people didn’t even know where to begin.
[First place, Lu Sheng, Chinese 150, Mathematics 150, English 150, Science Comprehensive 300, Total 750.]
[Second place, Fu Chen, Chinese 146, Mathematics 147, English 148, Science Comprehensive 298, Total 739.]
[Third place, Lu Youming, Chinese 146, Mathematics 142, English 150, Science Comprehensive 300, Total 738.]
[Fourth place, Huo Yu, Chinese 140, Mathematics 140, English 150, Science Comprehensive 300, Total 730.]
[Fifth place, Han Jing, Chinese 139, Mathematics 137, English 147, Science Comprehensive 298, Total 721.]
[Sixth place, Lan Yu, Chinese 146, Mathematics 129, English 150, Science Comprehensive 285, Total 720.]
...
Firstly, almost everyone upon opening the document first saw the blinding, breath-taking total score of 750 for first place.
It was a shock right at the opening, no one wasn’t astounded.
Is there a mistake?
Are you serious?
Is it really possible for someone to score 750 in such a difficult exam?!
750 points... means that this person got all questions correct in the six subjects of Chinese, Mathematics, English, and Science Comprehensive, without a single mistake, even scoring full marks in the Chinese essay.
This has never happened before in the history of special recruitment.
The person who scored these marks, not just being first in Shengjing, but even in the whole city, whole province, whole of China, would definitely be the top in this special recruitment exam!
However, what was even more shocking was — the person who scored these marks was Lu Sheng.
...What’s going on?
Wasn’t Lu Sheng not registered for the special recruitment exam? Didn’t she take the regular end-of-term papers prepared by Shengjing?
So now, how could her scores and ranking appear on the special recruitment exam transcript?
The name and score of first place, Lu Sheng, were shocking enough, yet the second place was equally shocking.
The second place was actually Fu Chen.
Fu Chen’s mathematics score was five points higher than Lu Youming, scoring 147, how is this possible??
Everyone in Class A clearly knows what level Lu Youming is at, from freshman year to senior year, he’s never scored anything other than full marks in mathematics.
Scoring 142 this time, was definitely because he didn’t finish the last major problem.
Class A’s members didn’t feel that Lu Youming scoring 140 in mathematics was high, instead they felt that the score didn’t do justice to Lu Youming. If given a bit more time, he definitely could have scored full marks.
But Fu Chen, where is his level like this??
Let alone how hard the math paper of this special recruitment exam was, even in ordinary math tests, he was barely making 140.
This time he actually scored 147, higher than both Lu Youming and Huo Yu, which is unbelievable if said out loud.
Previously, in every exam, Lu Youming always ranked first in Class A.
This time he ranked third, which means he narrowly missed the special recruitment quota.
The following scores for Huo Yu, Han Jing, and Lan Yu were still considered normal.
Although not ranked fourth, fifth, and sixth, actually, the seventh place only got 705 points, and the scores of the students behind were significantly different from those who ranked in the top few, there was almost a gap.
After a brief shock and silence, the chat group inevitably exploded.
[Anonymous: Seriously, are these results real? Did Lu Sheng really score 750??]
[Anonymous: That’s not the point, the point is Lu Sheng didn’t even register for the special recruitment exam, what does this mean? Did the school make a mistake?]
[Anonymous: If it was a mistake, and they mixed her end-term exam results together in the ranking, then Lu Sheng is really impressive, I truly admire her.]
[Anonymous: Definitely a mistake! Who could score full marks in every subject in the special recruitment exam? Even God Lu Youming was deducted 12 points in both Chinese and Mathematics.]
[Anonymous: What, let’s not talk about Lu Sheng, what shocked me the most in this transcript is...]
[Anonymous: I know what you want to say above, you’re talking about Fu Chen, right?]
[Anonymous: Fu Chen ranking second overall, and scoring 145 in mathematics higher than both God Lu Youming and Huo Yu? I really don’t believe it.]
[Anonymous: Haha, the three people above clearly are just jealous.]
[Anonymous: Fu Chen’s scores weren’t much less than Lu Youming to begin with, it’s normal operations when Lu Youming scores well, but not when others surpass him?? That’s just ridiculous.]
This anonymous message was sent, and the group went quiet again.
This time, no one claimed that the person defending Fu Chen was using a fake account, because even if it was Fu Chen himself who said it, the point was valid.
Everyone has moments when they underperform or overperform in exams.
Maybe this time Fu Chen was well-prepared and performed exceptionally, securing the second place.
Now looking at it, if Lu Sheng’s score was a mistake, this special recruitment quota would belong to Fu Chen.
This was truly an unexpected outcome.
Although everyone discussed anonymously, the very next second, Tang Yiyi directly tagged the class teacher in the group.
[Tang Yiyi: @Zhou Wu, Mr. Zhou, what’s the deal with Lu Sheng’s scores and ranking?]
[Tang Yiyi: If they mixed up her end-term exam results, shouldn’t Fu Chen be first? Teacher, won’t you adjust the transcript?]
Although everyone knew Tang Yiyi and Lu Sheng were at odds and certainly disliked seeing Lu Sheng’s name at the top, this was also what others wanted to say.
After all, removing Lu Sheng’s name would advance everyone else’s ranking by one, making the placements look slightly better.
However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, it took over ten minutes for Zhou Wu to speak up in the group.
[Sorry, students.]
[After receiving the transcript and seeing Lu Sheng’s name, I was also surprised, so I confirmed it with the admissions office and the teacher in charge of the special recruitment exam at our school.]
[It appears that the teacher in charge of special recruitment registration made a mistake when reporting the student names, and Lu Sheng’s name was submitted as .]
[Meaning that effectively, Lu Sheng registered for this examination.]
[The papers she took those two days were for the special recruitment, and the scores and rankings obtained are also from the special recruitment.]
[Therefore, this transcript has no errors, and indeed the top scorer of this special recruitment exam with a perfect score is Lu Sheng.]
