Chapter 191 - 191 Leaving the Exam Venue
191 Leaving the Exam Venue
The more difficult it was, the better it could sieve out those who were truly skilled.
Some could obtain 100 marks because that was the limit of their abilities. Chu Ning, on the other hand, had her ability to perform restricted by the paper’s maximum score of 100 marks.
Five minutes later, the official exam began.
However, in a huge exam room with more than 100 people, not many people began to write. This was a completely different concept from the questions they usually answered in the exams.
They discovered that most of the questions in the entire exam paper had little to do with the knowledge found in textbooks…
Chu Ning knew that the goal of the question setters was not to select students who only knew how to answer the questions. More importantly, they hoped that every examinee would understand that only knowing how to answer the questions did not mean anything.
More importantly was cognition. If one wanted to become a physicist, or even a physics researcher, it was not enough to merely rely on studying what was in the textbooks.
Chu Ning did not want to become a physicist. She was only interested in things that were difficult and challenging.
Chu Ning would not hesitate to reject it as a career. Her nature was to love and yearn for freedom; to have an unrestrained life. Spending all day in the laboratory doing research was not what she pursued.
Although Chu Ning admired Madame Curie, it did not mean that she wanted to become such a person.
Time flew by quickly. With only half an hour left, Chu Ning finally finished answering the last question.
She let out a long sigh of relief. Even she had to start thinking about the questions this time, and it took her a whole hour to finish it. At the same time, many of the students who were in the same exam venue as her had not even completed the first page… There were a total of four pages in the entire paper.
Chu Ning planned to hand in the papers early. As for checking the script, it was completely unnecessary for her.
In fact, before her, there were already a few students who had handed in their papers in advance.
They were very peaceful, and their faces were calm.
However, the papers that were handed in were also very undisturbed, almost completely blank.
Rather than struggling in the examination room, it was better to hand in the papers early and leave. That way, they could at least be a little more carefree. However, they could be considered to have a clear understanding of the difficulty of the exam questions for this national physics competition.
It really wasn’t enough to rely on a large number of practice questions. Hard work and preparation didn’t have much effect. Only a hard-working genius could scrape through…
After Chu Ning packed up her stationery, she took the paper and handed it in.
Unlike the other examinees who had handed in their papers in advance, she had really finished answering every question before leaving.
When Chu Ning leisurely walked to the gathering point outside the university gates, she discovered that there were already quite a number of students from M City who had come out in advance.
Their faces appeared very relaxed. In any case, they were destined to not get many marks, and it was even more impossible for them to get an award. It was better to come out in advance. After all, they had already experienced it.
However, when these examinees and the leading teachers saw Chu Ning walk out of the examination venue early, they were all a little dumbfounded.
All the students in M City who came out to take the exam this time were very clear about Chu Ning’s strength.
This was an existence that was even more powerful than Bai Yu’s!
“Chu Ning, why did you come out early?” Lin Hao asked with a puzzled expression. Although he trusted Chu Ning, almost all the candidates who came out at this time had no hope of winning a prize. Not to mention winning a prize, they may not even pass the exam…
“I finished writing, so I came out early,” Chu Ning answered very casually.
“Finished? You really finished all of them?” At this time, a candidate who had come out heard Chu Ning’s words and could not help but ask.
“Yes, the questions this time are quite interesting. The difficulty is there, but there isn’t a ton of calculations to be done,” Chu Ning smiled.
“Alright, it seems that we really aren’t from the same world. I reckon that, at this point in time, god of learning Bai Yu hasn’t even finished the paper.”
That examinee said with a sigh.
“That’s hard to say. After all, although Bai Yu admitted defeat in yesterday’s competition, his and Chu Ning’s scores were the same. This time, it might also be the same.”
Immediately, other students began to retort. It was not that they were against Chu Ning, but they were simply discussing the matter.
“Chu Ning, how was it? How many marks do you think you can get this time?”
Lin Hao asked with a smile, staring at Chu Ning as if she was the apple of his eye.
“Ninety marks shouldn’t be a problem.” Chu Ning thought for a moment. In the entire exam paper, there had only been one question at the back that she had been unsure of whether the symbols in the working should be in upper case or lower case. She had hence written it all down. If her points were deducted because of this, she might only have 99 points.
