Even Fu Zichen had only managed to take second place in the grade once, during the first joint exam at the beginning of the school year. After that, the second-place spot was always taken by a rotation of top students from various classes. While the Rocket Class had a higher chance of producing the runner-up, students from other classes had also achieved the impressive feat of securing second place.
Other than Xi Zirong, who consistently held first place by a wide margin, the top students below him were all neck and neck. The total score difference between second and third place was never more than five points.
Therefore, even though Xu Su felt she had done well on the exam, she couldn't be certain she would secure a first-tier scholarship.
She had also prepared herself for the scholarship awarded to the top ten. Although it was five hundred yuan less, a thousand yuan was still pretty good.
