"Come on! Man, you are the best! When you finish the exam, we will eat your favorite roasted suckling pig. The tender little piglet is shaking its pink tenderness to our little genius of the Brownie family.

Little pig’s trotters~”

"Oh, Dad, there are so many people here, don't... I won't tell you anymore, I'll go to the examination room first!"

On January 5, 1981, outside the examination room of Mercer University in Macon, many young people gathered here, waiting for the SAT exam to begin. Facing this SAT exam, which is known as the American version of the college entrance examination, many young students, including their

Families behave no differently than they did in previous lives in China.

After all, it is one of the most important tests in a child's life, and it is also a heavy burden for the family. They always have to pay for college tuition, and people naturally hope that their children can get higher scores and apply for

Go to a better university.

But compared to taking the college entrance examination in China in his previous life, Carter, who was squatting beside the flower bed outside the examination room, could clearly feel that the atmosphere here was much more relaxed than at home...

Compared with the Chinese College Entrance Examination, which determines a person's life in one test, the American SAT test, as mentioned before, is only a very important reference indicator and cannot achieve decisive results. Similarly, as long as they are not afraid of burning money, American students can do it again and again.

You have to take the exam, seven exams a year, even if you only count the eleventh and twelfth grade, it is enough to pass the exam 14 times, and then get the highest score!

Against this background, although the atmosphere around the entire examination room was quite similar to the Chinese College Entrance Examination in the previous life, it was actually much more relaxed.

Except for a few leisurely and thoughtful parents who came to take the exam, most of the candidates drove their own cars just like Carter. A few big-hearted guys, plus Carter, squatted on the roadside,

Quietly watching the candidate named Brownie laughing...

“What a momma’s boy!”

"Who says it's not? Hey, I'm so tired of taking exams! Hey, buddy, can I give you a cigarette?"

Among the young men who were squatting and feeling chilly, a man suddenly stood up and shouted to Carter. After taking the cigarette thrown by Carter, this young man started talking to Carter quite familiarly.

"Thanks, man! Gehrman, Gehrman Daslin! How many times have you taken the exam?"

"first!"

After exchanging names, Carter looked away from his mother's boy and answered casually.

"First time?! Wow, why can't you think of choosing the first exam in this cold season? Does the spring breeze in May make your skin itchy?"

“Because the application season will be over soon, and if you don’t take the exam, you will lose your score!”

Carter helplessly spread his hands. For many American high school students, the first time they take the SAT test is generally in the spring of the 10th grade, which is their freshman year of high school. Even in some four-year high schools, this time is often accelerated to

Grade 9. (Same paper as this paper)

Then they will take the test again the next year, and this time they will get the score! Generally, as long as the SAT score reaches above 1500, they will temporarily put aside their preparation work and shift their energy to other standardized tests such as AP, GPA and other tests. In addition,

Various campus activities, extracurricular activity arrangements, etc.

These activities and progress are also related to whether they can get an admission notice from a good university. Compared with the practice of Chinese candidates who "turn a deaf ear to the outside world and only read the exam books", Carter has to admit that learning to do

In terms of personal planning, American students generally mature earlier than Chinese students.

In a situation where many people don’t know what their goals are until they enter college, these American students almost need to make a plan tailor-made for themselves when they are about 15 years old and just entering high school. For example, which one?

What should I do during the year and what should I accomplish? Which university do I want to apply to, what are their strong subjects, what are the main application requirements, etc...

American students need to think clearly about all these matters and make a clear plan for their high school life. Otherwise, it will be like Carter...

"Huh? Man, are you sure you're not kidding? You're a twelfth grader?"

Hermann and his friends were all stunned. The look they looked at Carter was no less than the look in Carter's previous life when he looked at a man in the examination room who handed in papers for certain subjects in advance and left...

"Hmm~"

Carter snorted, not at all embarrassed as an older candidate should be.

"Heiburou! Do you know that it will take more than 10 days for the SAT test results to be released, right?"

"University applications usually close on February 15th, and you still have to travel to various cities to attend possible interviews..."

"Are you ready with your application materials? Letters of recommendation... You actually plan to pass the test in one go! Man, you are so awesome!"

"I know, I'm getting ready. Okay, guys, get ready to enter the examination room!"

The college application season was already quite hectic, but after being pushed around by these chattering brats, the irritability became even more intense. Seeing the door to the examination room open, Carter quickly stood up and threw away these few who could only shout.

666 thus sets off the protagonist Klas’s awesome passerby...

But it's strange, because Mao's family always supports the protagonist's awesomeness, but when it comes to himself...

never mind!

Some of them didn't, so they just thought about it and did it well under the seats in the examination room. After the invigilator announced the rules of the examination room, the papers were handed out and opened!

"People are always making various decisions throughout their lives."

“Some of these decisions may seem trivial—whether it’s to read a book or not go to a party—but there are obviously other, more important decisions. But even important decisions that may have serious consequences should not be taken lightly.

Or ignore small decisions. These small decisions may have the greatest impact on our lives!”

"Do small decisions have major consequences? Based on this topic, plan and write an article, combine your reading, experience, observation and research, and use logical reasoning and practical examples to prove your argument!"

After reading the first question, Carter touched his chin, and a familiar feeling came to his heart. The first question directly brought Carter's mind back to the time when he was faced with more than a dozen essays a week, either propositional essays or semi-propositional essays.

The days when topic essays, material essays and other types of essays are bombarded in turn...

Apart from the difference in language, the questions are almost indistinguishable, they are completely the same!

"Topic composition! What should we do and make our arguments~"

"Don't start with nonsense, just point out the point you want to express, and then what? Less! Reduce the language, reduce the text, preferably within three lines!"

"Don't write a lot at the beginning. Who will read it after writing so much? I got a headache when I corrected the paper... Think about how many papers the college entrance examination grading teacher had to correct..."

The Chinese language teacher once emphasized test-taking skills during the college entrance examination review stage. Stimulated by this similar question, Carter's mind instantly came to mind.

While feeling the love that his old grandson had for him, Carter started writing...
