Tang Ying, upon hearing this, became so excited that she could hardly believe her own ears. She covered her gaping mouth tightly with both hands, her eyes wide open.
What?!
She came third?
Across the entire junior high school section, although the questions were different, they all took exams in 5 subjects, each subject worth 120 points. She came third, so her score must have been quite high, right?
She was thrilled!
In last year's "Flowers of the Motherland" competition, she had participated as well, scoring a total of 527 points across 5 subjects, but she didn't make the top three. This year, she did!
She wondered, how much was her total score this time for all 5 subjects? Over 550 perhaps?
The classmates in Tang Ying's class all gave her congratulatory looks, and those standing around her congratulated her: "Tang Ying, congratulations, you're really amazing!"
