In June, across the southern Guangdong region, the junior high school entrance examination is about to begin. This is not merely a test of knowledge, but also a significant rite of passage for young people as they embark on independence and embrace challenges. At this moment, what weighs on the minds of both students and parents, besides reviewing knowledge, is also concern for details both inside and outside the examination hall. We hope that this guide, filled with experience and care, can serve as a calming force, accompanying students confidently into the examination hall and enabling them to write their answers with confidence.

Pre-Examination Preparations: Details Ensure Composure

A careful check before departure is the first step towards peace of mind in the examination hall.

Essential Documents, Proper Storage: The admission ticket and ID card are the only credentials for entering the examination hall. Please place them in a transparent file bag, carry them with you, and avoid folding or damaging them. In case of accidental loss: Do not panic, immediately contact the accompanying teacher or examination center staff, they will guide you through the emergency handling or reissue process.

Compliant Stationery, Prepare in Advance: According to the examination hall requirements, prepare 2B pencils, black signature pens (prepare several), eraser without a wrapper, ruler and compass sets, etc., and place them in a transparent stationery bag. Important Note: Mobile phones, smartwatches, calculators (unless permitted for the subject), correction fluid, correction tape, etc. are strictly prohibited from being brought into the examination hall.

Time Management, Be Prepared: There are usually clocks in the examination hall, but having a simple mechanical or quartz watch (without storage, communication, or calculation functions) can help you better manage your answering pace. Be sure to confirm: whether the examination hall allows watches.

Mental Adjustment: Calmness Breeds Wisdom

A calm state of mind is the cornerstone of stable performance.

On the night before the examination, maintain your usual routine. Sufficient sleep is better than any last-minute cramming; a light diet keeps the body light and comfortable. You can listen to some soothing music or take a relaxing walk with your family to relax your tense nerves. Briefly reviewing the knowledge framework before bed is not for learning new knowledge, but to reinforce the certainty of "I have done my best to prepare."

On your way to the examination, please allow ample time, plan your route in advance, and avoid peak congestion. When sitting in the waiting area, if you feel your heart racing or your thoughts becoming chaotic, close your eyes and try deep breathing: inhale slowly through your nose for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 2 seconds, and then exhale slowly and completely through your mouth for 6 seconds. Repeat several times to let the flow of breath calm the ripples in your heart. While waiting, remain quiet and avoid discussing exam questions, creating a peaceful and focused "psychological buffer zone" for yourself.

On-site Response: The Way to Steady Victory

The examination hall is full of unexpected situations; composure shows wisdom.

1. Setback in the First Subject

If you feel that the first exam did not meet your expectations, please immediately initiate "emotional isolation" after the exam. Do not compare answers with classmates, do not dwell on self-blame. Use the break time to be alone quietly, replenish fluids, and engage in positive self-talk: "Fluctuations in individual subjects are normal; overall victory depends on whether I can focus on each subsequent exam. I still have a chance!" Focusing on the overall picture can effectively alleviate pressure.

2. Remember the Rules

Examination discipline is a serious bottom line. Do not start writing before the start signal; stop writing immediately when the end signal sounds. Maintain absolute silence in the examination hall; for any questions or needs (such as needing scratch paper, going to the restroom, etc.), be sure to raise your hand to signal the invigilator. After receiving the answer sheet, carefully check your personal information and accurately paste the barcode.

3. Unexpected Situations

If you suddenly feel unwell in the examination hall (such as dizziness, abdominal pain) or encounter an accident (such as stationery damage, unclear printing of the examination paper), immediately raise your hand to report to the invigilator. The examination hall has a complete emergency plan; trust the teacher and remain calm; this is the prerequisite for solving the problem.

After the Crossing: A Broader Landscape of Growth

When the junior high school entrance examination answer sheet is finally sealed, regardless of the color of the result, every young person who has made every effort to complete this journey has earned respect. The junior high school entrance examination is an important crossing in the river of youth; it marks the end of a period of struggle and heralds the beginning of infinite possibilities. It measures the learning achievements of a specific stage, but it is far from enough to measure the potential depth and future scope of a young life.

We firmly believe that the core value of education lies in igniting the spark of inquiry, expanding the boundaries of cognition, and cultivating core qualities that can accompany children through the storms of the future—the ability to maintain resilience under pressure, the composure and wisdom shown in the face of challenges, and the character of independent planning and prudent decision-making. These intangible strengths are the true confidence that will allow them to confidently move forward, no matter what path they choose in the future.

At Zhuhai Yinghua, the educational environment we strive to create is designed to nurture these key abilities for the future. Here:

Immersive language environment, is not only about mastering communication tools, but also about opening a window to understanding diverse cultures; teaching centered on critical thinking and in-depth exploration encourages students to break free from the constraints of standard answers, learn to think independently, critically evaluate information, and construct their own viewpoints.

A diversified assessment system focuses on the growth process and individual differences, allowing the unique shining points of each student to be seen and stimulated.

Rich global vision expansion, helps students understand the complexity of the world and cultivates the ability to communicate and collaborate in cross-cultural contexts.

What we are committed to providing is not only paving the way to world-renowned universities, but also building comprehensive qualities and a broad perspective for each student, enabling them to stand on their own feet locally, look globally, and confidently meet future challenges.
