Rebirth begins with studying hard

Chapter 27 Outstanding Progress Award

The next day.

Early in the morning, the midterm exam results and rankings were already posted on the honor roll on the bulletin board.

Although he already knew his grades in advance, his class ranking was not confirmed at the time, so Lu Jie still carefully looked at the announcement after arriving at school.

Grades are important, but rankings are even more important.

Ultimately, getting into the top class depends on your ranking.

He was looking from back to front, and the first person he saw was Sun Bo.

Total score: 652.

Rank: 255.

The midterm exam was easier than the monthly exam, and everyone's scores were generally quite high.

Regardless of the score, progress can be judged by the ranking.

Sun Bo was ranked 400th last time, but this time he has risen to 255th.

The progress is very obvious.

He felt that if Sun Bo received more encouragement and worked harder, he would have a chance to get into the top class at the end of the semester.

Looking ahead, he saw himself in the 186th position.

Lu Jie: 728.

Although he had already expected it, he still breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the final rankings.

A smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

His original goal was to be in the top 200 in the grade in the midterm exam, in the top 150 in the May monthly exam, and in the top 100 in the final exam.

The final midterm exam results were better than expected, and I ranked 186th.

Although he took the last monthly exam very casually, his grades dropped significantly, resulting in a ranking of 388th.

But he was still excited and satisfied to have improved by nearly 200 places this time.

This ranking is several dozen places higher than the ranking when I entered school.

This shows that his learning methods are correct, and it also means that he is not far from being admitted to the top class.

He even felt that the goal could be raised again.

We can set our monthly exam ranking target at the top 110, without having to wait until the end of the semester.

If your monthly exam score reaches the cutoff for the top class, then you'll definitely be fine for the final exam.

After thinking for a while, he moved his gaze forward again.

Then I saw Zhong Muqing.

737 points, ranked 184th.

Although I already knew Zhong Muqing's results in advance, I still couldn't help but be amazed when I saw her score and ranking.

Really great.

A sports student whose total score was consistently around 300 or 400 actually doubled his score after just over a month of serious study.

If he hadn't witnessed her progress and known her skill level, his first reaction would have been that Zhong Muqing had cheated.

He was sometimes really curious: how could someone so smart and with such a strong learning ability have gotten such low grades before?

After all, her strengths lie not in humanities, but in science.

Science is something you either know or you don't; those with a talent for science can learn it quickly and apply it to new situations—it's impossible to hide.

Is it really a matter of stubbornly refusing to learn?

When he arrived at the classroom, Zhong Muqing was still waiting for him in her seat, while Sun Bo chatted with her beside him.

Congratulations to both of you, your grades have improved tremendously.

"Congratulations!" "It's all thanks to you."

After a round of mutual flattery, Sun Bo looked somewhat worried and said:

"However, with my grades, it's still very difficult for me to get into the top class."

Lu Jie was somewhat surprised.

Sun Bo used to be just like him, looking down on the idea of ​​a top-tier class.

Some even feel that elite classes are a typical reflection of the evils of exam-oriented education.

Even though he tried hard to change Sun Bo's mindset during this period, the effect was still not obvious.

Before the exam, Sun Bo hoped to improve his grades, but he didn't care whether he would get into the top class in the future.

Unexpectedly, Sun Bo is now worried about not being able to get into the top class.

"Have you finally figured it out? You've discovered how good the advanced classes are?" he joked.

"I used to think I had absolutely no chance of getting into the honors class, and even if I wanted to, it wouldn't want me," Sun Bo said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Now, I really feel like I have a chance to get into the honors class."

"Since there's hope, I definitely want to get in."

"Besides... Shu Panpan will definitely get into the top class. Being in the same class will make it easier to find her in the future."

"hey-hey."

In front of Lu Jie, he made no attempt to hide his affection for Shu Panpan.

"Keep it up." Lu Jie was happy for Sun Bo's progress.

Regardless of the reason, wanting to get into the top class is a good thing.

Only with goals can we make progress.

It's quite gratifying to see Sun Bo go from a carefree attitude towards studying to starting to study seriously, making progress in his grades, and then raising his goals to get into the top class.

Although Sun Bo's motivation for learning was to get closer to Shu Panpan, what truly enabled him to make such great progress was the positive feedback he received from his learning.

With positive feedback, students study more diligently, which in turn strengthens the positive feedback, creating a virtuous cycle.

As long as this cycle doesn't break and there are new goals, he believes Sun Bo's performance will definitely improve further.

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "I think you'll be fine."

"Look, you were ranked 400th last time, and in just over a month, you've already improved to 255th."

"There are still more than two months left, keep it up, you'll definitely get into the top class."

Let's cheer each other on!

"Yes, let's cheer each other on!" Zhong Muqing added.

"Hmm!" Sun Bo's worried expression brightened, and he became very motivated.

......

"Li Feng is really amazing, he actually got third place in the grade."

"Yeah, they really made our class monitor proud."

"He's really good; he gets over 90 points in every subject."

What score did you get?

"It's alright, an improvement over last time."

In the days following the exam, the results are always the first topic of discussion.

The students who excelled academically naturally received the most attention.

Besides these, there are students whose grades have changed drastically.

"I never expected Lu Jie's grades to improve so much."

"Yeah, their grades were worse than mine before, but now they're not only better than me, they're even ranked in the teens in the class."

Lu Jie often heard classmates mention him when discussing their grades.

He would also occasionally receive compliments from classmates who would say "awesome".

Even Li Feng, upon seeing him, remarked, "Your grades have improved so much."

Because he and Li Feng both liked playing football, they had a pretty good relationship among their classmates.

Although we weren't in the same class after the second year of high school in our previous life, we still played soccer together from time to time and our relationship was still okay.

Even Liu Jing, who usually teases him, had no reason to tease him when he saw him, and instead showed an awkward smile.

Those who once mocked him for having ulterior motives when he went to study will now be proven wrong and their faces will be slapped hard.

He found it quite enjoyable to be discussed because of his grades.

This feeling of exhilaration reached its peak during the evening class meeting, when the grades were announced, and when the homeroom teacher showered him with praise and awarded him the certificate for outstanding progress.

He even felt that this sense of exhilaration was no less than the period when he was successful in his previous life.

That evening, when he presented his report card and certificates to his mother, he felt not only a sense of satisfaction but also an extra sense of accomplishment when his mother saw his report card and showed such a happy and gratified expression.

Finally, I can make my mother happy.

"Okay!" Gu Yunshu said with a smile, "As long as you get good grades, I'll be happy no matter how tired I am."

Keep up the good work and strive for even greater success.

"Strive to get into the honors class and then get into a good university."

"That way you won't have to work as hard as your mother, getting up early and working late."

"Hmm!" Lu Jie nodded seriously. Although his mother always repeated the same few sentences, he listened very attentively.

"Mom, I'm sure I can get into the top class!" He said it with exceptional seriousness.

"I'm sure I'll get into a good university someday!"
