Chapter 316: A Stack of Exam Materials

He set a precedent. Teachers from other subjects, regardless of whether they were Class A teachers or not, followed suit, each giving Myrna a self-selected exercise book to take home and review.

Myrna had originally come to ask for leave, but in the blink of an eye, she had a stack of books and test papers in her arms. Her temple twitched as she looked at the useless “remedial materials.” She suppressed her anger and accepted everything the teachers from each class had given her, saying, “I will try my best to take the exams.”

She had seen the cultural questions for Craydon University’s independent enrollment. The difficulty was average; the exam could definitely be taken casually. As for how many points she wanted to score, that would depend on the situation at the time.

Myrna worried whether the Department of Traditional Medicine would participate in this year’s Independent School Entrance Examination. Because Craydon University had conducted independent admissions last year, all other departments of the university’s Department of Medicine participated, except for the Department of Traditional Medicine. Since no one from that department participated, there were no available admissions spots. Therefore, her attempt to take the exam had been in vain.

I don’t know if the Department of Traditional Medicine will participate this year… She got lost in her thoughts, wondering if the Department of Traditional Medicine would be involved in the admissions process. In Hattie’s eyes, this translated into Myrna feeling overwhelmed with pressure.

Hattie stared at Cameron and patted her shoulder. “It’s okay, study well and don’t put too much pressure on yourself. You’re still young and have plenty of opportunities. If Craydon University doesn’t work out, there’s Hutchinson University, which is similar. With your talent, as long as you’re willing to work hard and put in extra effort in the months before the college entrance examination, you’ll easily get into Hutchinson University!”

Cameron, stared at, touched his nose and said embarrassedly, “Well, we were just joking with you, don’t take it to heart. Melcester Central High School had only one student who got into Craydon University three years ago, and that was Lawson.” No one was admitted in the past two years, which shows that Craydon University is difficult to get into. You should just give it a try, relax a bit, and then come back for Ms. Benson to give you some extra lessons. You can still get into a prestigious university!

Hattie was afraid he would continue speaking, and Myrna felt even more psychological pressure. She found an opportunity to stop his nagging, looking up at Myrna and saying, “Alright, you have taken a day off tomorrow to rest at home. The teacher is waiting for good news from you.”

“Hmm.” Myrna, who wasn’t good at dealing with teachers, said to Hattie and walked out of the teacher’s office with a stack of extra ‘review materials.’

She had just left when Cameron approached, a big man eagerly asking, “Ms. Benson, do you think Myrna will get into Craydon University this time?” He personally felt anxious! I also asked other teachers privately, and they shared the same opinion, believing that Myrna should not have refused the invitation from the Craydon University expert who came to her door before she became too headstrong.

Well, now it’s good. Instead of being guaranteed admission to a top professional program, I had to take the independent exam myself. The autonomous examination is much more difficult than the college entrance examination. After the written test, there is also an interview. Only the top 10 scores from both exams combined can be admitted. With 3000 applicants competing for 10 spots, on average, only 1 person can get in. It seems like a much higher ratio compared to the college entrance examination, but the problem is that all the applicants are the top few from their respective schools. In comparison to this ratio, it is akin to buying a lottery ticket!

Hattie pushed the swivel chair back to its position, opened the teaching materials to be used tomorrow, picked up a pen, and started writing without even lifting her head, saying, “Nothing is impossible. Since Craydon University specifically sent someone to recruit her, it means she is the best candidate. I believe she can pass the exam.”

She said so, and Cameron reluctantly returned to his seat, sighing, “It’s a pity she didn’t agree at that time. I wonder, isn’t Clinical Medicine good? Every student who graduates from the Craydon University Department of Clinical Medicine becomes a top surgeon in the hospital.”
