Rebirth begins with studying hard

Chapter 51 College Entrance Examination Results Released

This is Lu Jie's second time taking the college entrance examination.

In my previous life, during my first college entrance exam, although I was prepared not to go to university, I still had a tiny bit of hope in my heart that I might get lucky and do well.

The night before the exam, he couldn't tell whether he was nervous or excited, but he couldn't sleep and didn't get a good night's rest.

Taking the college entrance exam again, I thought I would be too nervous to sleep, but I actually slept exceptionally well.

I was extremely energetic during the exam.

There was definitely some nervousness, but after receiving the test paper and quickly glancing through it, all the nervousness disappeared, leaving only excitement.

Because almost everyone knows how to do it.

Especially on the first day of the Chinese exam, as a reborn person, the only information he remembered related to the college entrance examination was the Chinese composition.

This is an open-ended essay question, providing a poem: [Four rivers embrace the city obliquely, scattering into a thousand streams flowing to ten thousand homes. In the deep waters, water chestnuts are planted; in the shallows, rice; where the water is neither too deep nor too shallow, lotus flowers are planted.]

The theme of this poem is adapting to local conditions. In his previous life, he wrote something off-topic and only got a dozen points, so it left a very deep impression on him.

He polished an essay before the college entrance examination and wrote it very smoothly.

He might not get a perfect score, but he was confident he could get 55 or higher.

With his success in the first Chinese exam, he wrote more and more smoothly in the subsequent three exams.

On the afternoon of the 8th, after finishing his last English exam, he even felt a little unsatisfied.

After the exam, he turned down all invitations and slept soundly.

I slept from 6 p.m. to 12 p.m. the next day.

If his mother hadn't called him to eat, he felt he could have continued sleeping.

This was the longest, the most restful, and the most comfortable sleep he had had since his rebirth.

The fatigue and stress that had accumulated over nearly three years were relieved during this nap.

This extra-long sleep marked the official end of my high school journey.

Regardless of his score, he felt he had given himself an explanation.

I'm sure I can get into a top-tier university; the only question is whether I can reach the cutoff score for Anhui University or Hefei University of Technology.

I picked up my phone and saw two missed calls.

Sun Bo and Zhong Muqing.

He called Sun Bo back first, following the order of time.

"Shu Panpan said she's going to driving school to take her driving test, and she invited Sister Qing to join her. Let's learn together!"

"My dad has a friend who's a driving instructor, and he can get us our licenses in 20 days!"

Lu Jie suddenly realized that he was now eighteen years old again.

He started school at the standard age: he started first grade at six, junior high at twelve, and senior high at fifteen. By the time he finished senior high and was about to go to university, he was eighteen.

Time flies so fast!

"Sure," he agreed.

He was already planning to get a driver's license as soon as possible, and then buy a car for easier travel.

He's quite wealthy now.

Although I only wrote 4,000 words a day during my senior year of high school, and even stopped updating for a period of time before the college entrance examination.

But the monthly subscriptions are stable, and the performance is constantly improving.

I've written 3.4 million words so far, with nearly 2 million more to go.

He plans to finish writing it within the next year.

Then, I will continue writing "Swallowing the Stars" as planned.

For the time being, the income from online novels can provide him with a stable cash flow.

Once Kafka was on the right track, he continued to expand the business, investing a significant amount of money in it.

However, even after deducting Kafka's investment, he still had several hundred thousand dollars in savings, so he had long been prepared to learn to drive and buy a car after he came of age.

He just hadn't realized that he was already eighteen again.

After ending the call with Sun Bo, he called Zhong Muqing back.

She also asked if we wanted to learn to drive together.

He readily agreed, and they arranged to go to Sun Bo's acquaintance's place to register the next day.

I'm aiming to get my driver's license in June.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jie stood in front of the bathroom mirror.

His height increased again in his second year of high school. In his previous life, he was only 175cm tall, but in this life he actually grew to 179cm.

Whether it was due to his regular schedule or the nutritious breakfasts and snacks Zhong Muqing brought him, his potential for growth was unleashed once again.

Although he wasn't much taller, those 4cm made his physique look better.

His face even looked more handsome than when he was eighteen in his previous life.

In Feicheng, a 10-year driving test is still a relatively common and rare thing. Without connections or VIP classes, it would take at least a year to get a driver's license.

It's not that studying takes that long, but that taking exams requires queuing.

Each driving school has a limited number of enrollment slots, and these slots are the main selling point for the driving school's VIP classes.

However, thanks to Sun Bo's father's friend, there was no need to queue for exam registration.

I registered for the theory test (Subject 1) in just three days and passed it smoothly.

After paying the tuition at the VIP price, the four of them essentially had a car to themselves.

This car is used for their individual practice every afternoon.

As an eighteen-year-old student, this is the stage when your learning ability is at its strongest.

Even Shu Panpan, who has the weakest sense of mechanical thinking, can learn at a medium to high speed.

For both driving test part two and part three, you practice for a week before taking the test.

All four passed on their first attempt.

They finished the driving test (Part 3) earlier than they had expected.

On the afternoon of June 25th, after passing the third part of the driving test and completing the study session at the test center, the entire driving test process was considered complete.

However, you can't get your driver's license on the spot. You have to wait 3 days to go to the driving school to pick it up.

"The college entrance exam scores will be available this afternoon. Shall we go to an internet cafe and check them together?" As soon as they left the house, Lu Jie brought up the most important thing.

"Oh, we can check the scores today?" Sun Bo was first surprised, then nervous and expectant. "Let's go together! I wonder if I can make it to the second-tier university cutoff."

Zhong Muqing and Shu Panpan also agreed.

After returning to the city, they found a quiet internet cafe. Lu Jie turned on a computer, and the others gathered around it to access the college entrance examination platform on the education network.

The largest banner on the homepage is the announcement of the college entrance examination score lines.

"Let's take a look at the cutoff scores for first-tier and second-tier universities first," Lu Jie said, clicking on the announcement.

The cutoff scores for science and engineering majors are 562 for the first-tier universities, 507 for the second-tier universities, and 477 for the third-tier universities.

The cutoff score for arts and humanities majors is 573 for the first-tier university, 534 for the second-tier university, and 516 for the third-tier university.

"Wow! The cutoff score for second-tier universities is only 507! I feel like I have a chance!" Sun Bo exclaimed excitedly.

He estimated his college entrance exam score to be around 530.

Because the cutoff score for the second-tier university in science and engineering was 520 last year, and his score of 530 was very close to last year's cutoff score, he was very uneasy.

After all, there will definitely be a difference between the estimated score and the official score.

If your estimated score is close to the cutoff score, that's dangerous.

But if you can score 20 or 30 points higher, then you're pretty sure you'll win.

"I feel very hopeful!!" Lu Jie felt the same way.

Although he took the college entrance examination once in his previous life, he only scored a little over 300 points, which was enough to get into an ordinary junior college. So he never paid attention to the undergraduate admission score and didn't remember what the second-tier undergraduate admission score was at that time.

Seeing that the cutoff score for the second-tier university in the science and engineering field was only 507, he genuinely felt that Sun Bo had a chance.

"Let me check for you first, give me your ID number!" He switched back to the homepage and opened the score inquiry page.
