To become a Cultivated Talent, one must first qualify as an elementary-level student, also called a candidate student, and this examination is held annually. Generally, it takes place in the previous year, and only with this qualification can one proceed to the next level. The examination for Cultivated Talent is also held annually, usually starting at the beginning of March and consisting of three consecutive tests. Only by passing the final judgement of scholars can one become a Cultivated Talent.
Since the end of February, ever since Yang Qingrui and his son went to the county city, the Yang Family had been on edge.
This was especially true once March arrived. Ms.Wang calculated that her son-in-law in the Capital City was set to take the Advanced Scholar exam this month, and her two sons were to take the Cultivated Talent exam. These were monumental events for the month.
