Chapter 372: Troubles of Comprehensive Science
During the precious holiday, the class group burst into a rare enthusiasm. Some people who rarely show up in public also became active.
The students tossed the dice to compare the size, and the loser either had to sing, answer questions, or give out red envelopes.
Those who have already traveled together will be asked to name the person they like. In fact, everyone knows the answer. The reason for asking this question is nothing more than to liven up the atmosphere.
Mu Zhengguang was watching a movie when his classmates started throwing the dice.
This activity lasted for a long time. As the new day and the new year arrived, some people were still rolling dice, but more people chose a more friendly way to celebrate by giving out red envelopes.
Mu Zhengguang and Xu both sent out red envelopes.
I woke up and spent the morning doing last year's homework. At the end of the morning, I still had half an English newspaper and two math papers left to do.
The afternoon is over and the homework is done.
Take a rest and do a few sets of test papers that you bought at night.
The day is over.
Lonely, short, slow and dull.
There is nothing to miss. Nothing special at all. When I recall the first day of 2022 in the future, there are only four words: "Study hard".
The second day of the New Year is still a holiday.
That afternoon, Mu Zhengguang took a photo of the completed test paper and sent it to Xu. Xu also sent him a photo. The two compared their answers, discussed a few questions, chatted about the class group, and talked about their plans for the winter vacation. The chat lasted more than two hours, and the afternoon passed in a flash.
After dinner, the holiday is almost over and evening self-study is about to begin.
Time passed, deep winter arrived, and on January 1nd and 22rd, the fourth mock exam, which was the final exam, was held.
After the exam, the students continued to attend classes and the teachers continued to explain the test papers until the afternoon of January 1, which was the afternoon of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, when they ushered in the winter break.
During the winter vacation, the teacher did not assign any homework.
Mu Zhengguang bought a comprehensive science test paper, which contained ten sets of questions. In the next semester's mock exam, there were no physics, chemistry, or biology, but comprehensive science instead. The teacher said that practicing comprehensive science questions during the winter vacation would be very helpful in improving scores.
Mu Zhengguang did so. When he did the first set of test papers, he did not strictly follow the test time, but did it until he finished it. However, he could not stop before he finished it.
It took Mu Zhengguang about three hours to finish the first set of comprehensive science papers. After finishing the papers, he checked the answers, corrected the papers, and scored them: 223. He split them into three subjects and recalculated the scores: 63 for physics, 82 for chemistry, and 78 for biology.
The full score for physics is 110, so it's still a bit difficult to pass. The full score for chemistry is 100, and I got 82 points, which is a bit lower than usual. Was I too casual when doing the questions? The full score for biology is 90, and I got 78 points, which is okay, not too high or too low, but I got one multiple-choice question wrong, so 6 points were lost. The total number of wrong answers for the fill-in-the-blank questions later was only points. It seems that I have to be more careful when doing the multiple-choice questions in biology next time.
Take a quick look at the wrong questions and immediately start practicing again.
I still have a lot of time this afternoon. Since it is not the Chinese New Year and I don't have to visit relatives, I have more free time. I can do two test papers a day. In addition, according to the length of the holiday, I can do one test paper a day. When school starts, I still haven't finished this exercise book. When I brag to my classmates, how can I say "I bought a comprehensive science test paper, but I haven't finished it yet"?
The second test paper was not done strictly according to the test time. Mu Zhengguang often looked at his phone to calculate the time. The time used to finish the test paper was less than 150 minutes. The speed was enough, and Mu Zhengguang didn't want to check it. He quickly checked the answers and changed the scores. When it came to the third set, he followed the regular test process.
228 points. It was five points higher than the last time, but these five points were not even as good as the score of one multiple-choice question. If he was a little careless when doing the test this time and made one more mistake in the multiple-choice question, then his score would have dropped instead of increased. Therefore, it can almost be said that the quality has not improved, but the speed has increased. He thought that the first two sets of test papers would be enough to speed up the test, and he still had four months to improve the accuracy. On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily. Mu Zhengguang stood by the window, looking out the window, wanting to record something, but he felt that it was just a snowfall, nothing special. If this snow had happened a few days earlier, when everyone was still in school, perhaps there would be something worth recording.
The corridors in the school are covered with snow and the ponds are frozen. It might be nice to look down from the top floor of the senior year, which is the fifth floor.
During this boring time, Mu Zhengguang calmed down and finished a set of test papers strictly according to the examination standards. When the alarm rang, he opened the answer key and corrected the test papers: 242.
Physics 73, Chemistry 87, Biology 82.
It's a bit like an extraordinary performance, but looking at the numbers, extraordinary is only 19 points higher than abnormal. If it is an extraordinary performance, it is only 242 points. Unless you perform exceptionally in Chinese, math and English, there is no way you can get 600 points.
Isn't the score of the math super performance the same as the score of the second mock exam? 125. The maximum score of the Chinese and English super performances is only 115. Add up, 597. It seems that the math and comprehensive science must be super-normal, otherwise 600 points is just a fantasy.
The fourth set of papers was also completed while it was snowing.
After finishing the test paper, checking it and correcting the score, I got 236 points.
Mu Zhengguang carefully studied the questions he got wrong and found that he could usually get some questions right, but he just got them wrong accidentally. For example, he changed the cross to a check mark on a chemistry multiple-choice question and added six points. After that, he looked at the fill-in-the-blank questions and found five points he could get. After the modification, he got 247 points, which was much better.
After finishing two test papers, the task for the second day of the holiday was completed.
On the third day of the holiday, the snow stopped. Mu Zhengguang built a snowman, carried it to the side of the pond, and carefully placed it on the ice.
Mu Zhengguang took some photos and shared the scenery of ice and snow with Xu. Xu said that the scenery here was beautiful.
They are both in the countryside. After a heavy snowfall, the scenery should be similar, right? The only difference is that one is closer to the pond and farmland, while the other is closer to the supermarket and highway.
After talking about the scenery, Mu Zhengguang talked about the comprehensive science test papers. He had done a total of four test papers in the past two days.
"I did the test papers too, but not as many as you did. I only did two."
"How many marks did you get on the two papers?"
"We took different tests, so we don't need to compare scores, right?"
Before Xu did her first science paper, she set an alarm. When the time came, the alarm rang, she stopped writing, corrected the papers, calculated the scores, and found that she just passed the passing line.
The order of multiple-choice questions in the comprehensive science test is biology, chemistry, and physics, and the order of non-multiple-choice questions is the opposite. Xu still has some biology questions and elective questions left to do, and the difficulty of these questions is relatively low.
Xu thought that if she changed the order in which she did the questions and dropped the two big physics questions, she would be able to finish all the questions and get a higher score, at least over 200 points.
Xu changed the order when he took the second comprehensive science test. He did the multiple-choice questions first, then the elective questions, then biology, chemistry, and finally physics. His score improved a little, to 216, but it was still far from his expectations and far from his average level.
Although it is not very accurate to estimate the total score of science by the total score of three subjects, she still thinks that the total score of three subjects is more representative. If she can only get 216 points in the comprehensive science test in the college entrance examination, it would be terrible.
Because the score was low, Xu made an excuse that the test papers were different and there was no need to compare scores.
