Top Ten Key Actions for the Junior High Entrance Examination | A Guide to Steady Scoring

2025-06-20

The Guangdong 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 points lost change countless admission results. Please take 5 minutes to confirm this points-guaranteeing 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 exam paper is blurry, your earphones malfunction, 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 location of the barcode sticker and the filling standards. Ask if you don't understand.

3. Check the exam paper for any omissions or unclear handwriting before starting to write (don't rush to write your name). Take a deep breath to calm yourself.

4. Poor handwriting = lost 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 exam 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 tear the paper), the machine scans the security line: the grid color is not visible when backlit.

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 write keywords).

8. Check these three items at the end.

1. Multiple-choice question numbers vs. shaded 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 for math essay questions will also get points! For liberal arts essay questions, write keywords point by point. Blank space = giving points to your opponent.

10. Close your eyes and rest after checking.

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

When the examination bell rings, the growth genes are forged.

 

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 the original power that makes 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 such 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.

在英华,我们更愿称之为“成长的原生力量”。当少年们带着这样的力量穿过校园,他们会在全英文的戏剧课上勇敢表达观点,在跨国课题协作中学会策略性让步,在学术论文的反复打磨中理解精准的价值。这些看似微小的能力之光,终将汇聚成足以照亮未知前路的光源。
