"Your math scores have improved, I calculated that you might have scored 600." Chen Yunyun was back to her usual cheerful self.
"Forget it; you're overestimating me." Jiang Nian appeared confident, "Don't worry, my Chinese score certainly won't exceed a hundred."
Chen Yunyun was baffled, why would anyone be proud of that?
"How do you know?"
Jiang Nian waved it off, "My essay was a bit off-topic, probably a sure 38 points."
Generally speaking, if you write a high school essay rambling on but stay on topic, it's forty or above. If it's off-topic but okay, 38, way off-topic and outrageous, then 30 or even less.
"What did you write about?"
Jiang Nian honestly replied, "Perseverance."
Chen Yunyun was silent for a while before consoling him.
"It veered a little, but it could still score over forty."
Jiang Nian was noncommittal about Chen Yunyun's consolation. If his math exceeded one hundred and twenty this exam, it would be a success; other subjects didn't matter.
