"You can't just memorize formulas! In fact, there are many things in exam-oriented education that remain fundamentally the same. If you can understand the underlying direction of the questions, you can ensure success!"
Lan Xue began to share her experiences with Wei Yuan without holding back. Many students who perform well academically aren't necessarily the ones who study the hardest, just as many wealthy individuals aren't the most hardworking.
In the face of this rote learning approach to education, there are actually many loopholes to exploit.
Although mathematics is relatively flexible, the direction of the questions still follows a pattern.
So by the time they reach their senior year, many people realize that their final exam scores depend on their review strategy. If you cast your net too wide, you might end up missing important points due to an overload of information!
At this stage, it's no longer about learning for learning's sake; it's about preparing for college entrance exams, where scores are paramount!
The purpose of reviewing is to distill knowledge from past learning and extract information that is likely to appear on the test based on one's own experience, focusing on key areas and working diligently towards a specific goal.
At this moment, Lan Xue was fully committed to helping Wei Yuan, hoping he could get into college. She even fantasized about them possibly choosing the same school.
After three years of knowing each other and spending time together recently, Wei Yuan had gradually taken a significant place in her heart. Therefore, facing someone like Wei Yuan, who still didn't know how to tackle exams, she wished she could impart everything she knew.
Fortunately, Wei Yuan only had a weak foundation in mathematics, which could still be remedied. Solving problems required flexibility and understanding of patterns; once he grasped those, he wouldn't have to fear anything. However, his foundation still needed to be solid. So Lan Xue quickly handed over her review materials to Wei Yuan.
She pulled out a lot of resources for him, covering topics like algebra, quadratic functions, and function analysis: "If you go through these, you won't feel so flustered when solving problems."
"Okay, that's essential! Who wouldn't want a beautiful master?" Wei Yuan joked.
At that moment, Chang Wei suddenly took advantage of Teacher Wu Yongsheng stepping out and ran over to mock Wei Yuan: "I bet he won't understand any of this."
Wei Yuan felt disgusted by this persistent fly but had to admit there was some truth in his words. His math score from last semester was only in the fifties, placing him among the bottom ranks in the class.
Chang Wei managed to secure a position as Vice Class Leader in class not only by currying favor with teachers but also because his academic performance was decent; his family probably hired several tutors.
"What's it to you? Did you grow up drinking seawater? Mind your own business!" Wei Yuan retorted angrily.
After all, Wei Yuan had never been a pushover at school. Knowing that Chang Wei was just looking for trouble made him even less inclined to tolerate him.
At this point, Lan Xue looked at him and slightly shook her head, signaling him not to pay attention to Chang Wei. After all, with the college entrance exams approaching, focusing on studying was what mattered most.
“Vice Class Leader, you should set an example. How can you walk around during class?” Lan Xue seized Chang Wei's weakness.
Chang Wei replied with a smile, “Xue, I just think it's unnecessary for you to spend time reviewing for him. This guy is hopeless in all subjects, but when it comes to math, he's definitely a blockhead; even an idiot would be better than him!”
Don't hit the face, don't expose the shortcomings!
This guy is infuriating. Wei Yuan's grades in other subjects are not far behind Chang Wei, but he is way behind in math. Chang Wei's tutor seems to be someone hired by the school, and we all know that usually before exams, teachers have already grasped the questions!
So no matter what profession you are in, under the temptation of money, leaking exam questions is definitely more profitable than revealing personal secrets!
However, Chang Wei is now using his excellent math grades to attack Wei Yuan, and every word strikes right at his face, igniting Wei Yuan's anger instantly.
If he were facing Liu Haisheng or Blue Old Man, those old foxes, he might be more cautious. But dealing with just Chang Wei is not worth it.
“The teacher arranged for me to sit here because they want me to help Wei Yuan review,” Lan Xue explained patiently.
Damn it! This statement left Chang Wei completely speechless. He initially intended to humiliate Wei Yuan, but unexpectedly, Lan Xue defended him so fiercely that it made Chang Wei feel nauseous!
“I’m just worried that he might affect your studies; teaching him math would be pointless,” Chang Wei desperately tried to save face.
Wei Yuan suddenly calmed down and felt that watching Chang Wei make a fool of himself was quite enjoyable. He had previously thought about embarrassing himself through basketball games so that by comparison, Lan Xue would see him as much better than himself.
But the result gave him an opportunity to become known as the Three-Point Prince among everyone.
Now he wanted to use his good math grades to strike back at himself and win Lan Xue's favor. However, seeing how Lan Xue constantly supported Wei Yuan, the outcome was clear: this approach only made Lan Xue develop a dislike for Chang Wei, and it was growing stronger!
Facing such a response, Chang Wei felt worse than being beaten up, especially since many classmates were watching his performance in class. Instead of succeeding, he ended up making everyone think that the relationship between Lan Xue and Wei Yuan was unusual; otherwise, why would she ask him questions everywhere? She couldn't stand anyone slandering him!
As Chang Wei looked at the many spectators waiting for his performance, who were now turning against him towards Wei Yuan, he was furious. Yet, at this moment, Wei Yuan remained incredibly calm, appearing refined as if he were the only one making a fool of himself while everyone else was throwing tantrums.
“Aren't you supposed to be a math idiot?” Chang Wei barked nonsensically like a rabid dog.
“So what if I'm good at math? Is that reliable?” Wei Yuan countered.
I don't know when this notion emerged that mastering math and science means you can fearlessly traverse the world. In reality, for most people, math simply boils down to basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division!
Li Ka-shing Is he rich enough? He wouldn't say during a business discussion, "Wait a moment, I need to take a square root!"
For a student, academic performance is not something that can be applied to life; it's merely a way to cope with exams. However, some people regard this as an advantage to look down on others, which is quite ridiculous!
"I have a math review test with one hundred questions. If you can score sixty points, you can do whatever you want!" Chang Wei said defiantly.
Wei Yuan felt a wave of frustration. Why does everyone like to gamble these days?
That bet about repairing the vase for three months is still uncertain, and Ma Teng is likely to come knocking soon.
Right now, Wei Yuan was too troubled to care and felt annoyed at the mention of betting: "Why should I bet with you?"
"Are you scared or afraid of losing?"
Wei Yuan looked at him and said, "How about we bet on basketball instead? Or a one-on-one challenge? Aren't those your specialties?"
