Huo Yao picked up her pen and wrote her name down on the test paper before she began.
The first half of the paper's questions were a combination of arts and sciences and covered a broad spectrum. This section tested not only her memory but also her understanding. Anyone with lesser knowledge might not even be able to comprehend the questions.
A lot more time was allocated for the heats than the previous exams. The contestants were given three hours to finish this paper.
An hour into the contest, most of the students were still working on the comprehension and multiple-choice questions, but Huo Yao had already started working on the trickier questions at the back.
The invigilator kept walking around the room and checked on the students from time to time.
