Celebrity stories about exams:

Jack Ma: Is he so heroic that he only needs 1 point to take the Peking University mathematics test?

In 1982, 18-year-old Jack Ma took the college entrance examination for the first time in his life. However, Ma Yun did not back down because he was not good at mathematics. Instead, he made a surprising move, because his application form clearly stated: Peking University.

When the college entrance examination results came out that year, Jack Ma also created a small miracle. His math score was 1 point.

A frustrated Ma Yun went to a hotel with one of his cousins ??to apply for a job as a waiter, but the boss turned him down because he looked a bit crooked. He had no choice but to find connections and get a job delivering books to a publishing house. Maybe it will be like this for the rest of my life.

But at this time, Lu Yao's "Life" changed Ma Yun's mind. Ma Yun began to re-study arduously, and at the age of 19, he entered the college entrance examination room again. But his math scores... After the college entrance examination results came out, Ma Yun's math scores achieved a rapid increase of 1800 points year-on-year - 19 points!

Jack Ma started working and studying again. In this way, when Ma Yun was 20 years old, he resolutely took the third college entrance examination. The day before Ma Yun's college entrance examination, a teacher named Yu said to Ma Yun, with your math scores, if you can pass the exam, I will write the last name upside down. No matter what the teacher's mentality was, Ma Yun was so stimulated that he came up with a trick.

Before taking the math test, Ma Yun memorized 10 basic mathematical formulas. After the test began, he incorporated the formulas one by one. Using this unique skill, Ma Yun really passed the math test this time - 79 points.

Although Ma Yun's math scores have improved significantly this time, his total score is still 5 points behind the undergraduate line. Oh, that’s okay, Ma Yun thought to himself. It would be good to go to a university. No matter if he is a bachelor’s degree or a junior college, it would also fulfill his insistence. Just when Jack Ma was about to enter Hangzhou Normal University, another thing happened.

That was because the English Department of Hangzhou Normal University had just upgraded to undergraduate level, so there were not enough students to apply for the exam.

So the school leaders made a decision that Ma Yun felt was pie-in-the-sky, which was to let a few junior college students with good English scores go straight to undergraduate studies.

So, Jack Ma, who had excellent English scores, gloriously entered Hangzhou Normal University as an undergraduate.
