Her son scored higher on the gaokao than expected
A client said her son scored 530 on the gaokao, up from under 500 in mock exams. I told her he could study near home, at a school around the first-tier level.

Good morning, Zongyuan!
猫猫道长早上好呀！
My son’s exam results are out. He scored 530. The first-tier cutoff in Guangdong is 532. Getting a score this high is way beyond what we expected — he saved his best performance for the gaokao. He never got above 500 in the mock exams before. I was really lost back then, with no confidence at all. Your reading was very accurate. Thank you for your guidance!
我儿子成绩出来了，考了530分，广东
的一本分数线是532分，能考到这么高
的分数真的是超常发挥了，最好的成绩
给了高考。之前模考一直都不到500分，
当时真的好迷茫，一点信心都没有，您
算得很准，谢谢您的指点！

Okay. Also, I wanted to ask: when people say “first-tier” here, do they mean the exam score or the school you get into? We want him to go to university close to home, in Guangzhou or Dongguan. We’re not sure if that’s possible. For majors, we’re thinking of Chinese Language and Literature, Geographical Science, or Computer Science.
嗯嗯，另外我还想请问一下，这里的一
本是说考试成绩还是入读的学校？我们
想在家附近上大学，就是说在广州或者
东莞上，不知行不行？专业的话我们想
报汉语言文学，地理科学，计算机
