The Guangdong Junior High School Entrance Examination is entering its final stage. The real difference often lies not in knowledge reserves, but in those overlooked examination hall actions—forgetting to fill in the answer sheet, misinterpreting handwriting, and losing control of time. Every year, these non-intellectual score losses change countless admission results. Please take 5 minutes to confirm this score-saving checklist to safeguard the bottom line of your three years of hard work.

Ten Golden Rules for the Examination Hall: Details Determine the Admission Line

1. If you have any questions, raise your hand immediately.

Don't be afraid of the invigilator! If the test paper is blurry, the earphones are malfunctioning, or you don't understand the instructions, raising your hand is the only correct way to solve the problem.

2. Listen carefully before the exam begins.

Pay attention to every word the invigilator says, especially the barcode pasting position and filling-in specifications. Ask if you don't understand.

3. Check the test paper for any omissions or unclear handwriting after receiving it.

Quickly check for any omissions or unclear handwriting (don't rush to write your name), and take this opportunity to take a deep breath and calm down.

4. Poor handwriting = wasted points

Especially for compositions and liberal arts essay questions! During the peak period of marking papers, each person marks 300+ papers per day. Illegible handwriting will directly lead to a lower grade.

5. Keep the water cup away from the answer sheet.

Water stains, draft marks, or scratches on the test paper = suspected cheating marks. When checking your answers, keep your elbows within the desk area.

6. Use the "re-filling" method for filling in the answer sheet.

Fill in with a 2B pencil repeatedly 3 times (don't pierce the paper). The machine scans the security line: the grid background color should not be visible when held up to the light.

7. The 3-minute rule

If you run out of time for multiple-choice questions, immediately guess C and move on. For essay questions, write down the key steps (science subjects are graded step-by-step, liberal arts subjects should write keywords).

8. Check these three items at the end.

1. Multiple-choice question numbers vs. answer sheet areas (the most common mistake area)

2. Composition title + concluding paragraph

3. Decimal points in science calculation questions

9. Never leave the paper blank.

Writing formulas in mathematics essay questions will also get points! For liberal arts essay questions, write keywords point by point. Blank spaces = giving points to your opponent.

10. Close your eyes and rest after checking.

Don't look around or shake your legs, and silently think about the solutions to difficult problems in your mind. Restless actions may be recorded as violations.

When the examination bell rings, the forged growth gene

The courage to clearly raise your hand and ask questions under pressure, the clarity to make decisive choices when facing difficulties, and the almost obsessive attention to handwriting and appearance—these qualities forged in the examination hall will ultimately reveal their true meaning in a much longer period of growth.

The most touching part of education is never to mold people into vessels for examinations, but to protect those fundamental forces that make life flourish: the wisdom to find freedom within rules, the composure to remain clear-headed under pressure, and the craftsmanship to pursue perfection in details.

At Yinghua, we prefer to call it "the original power of growth." When young people pass through the campus with this power, they will bravely express their opinions in all-English drama classes, learn strategic concessions in cross-national project collaborations, and understand the value of precision in the repeated polishing of academic papers. These seemingly small sparks of ability will eventually converge into a light source that is enough to illuminate the unknown path ahead.
