In 2009, 546,000 candidates in Jiangsu will get the results of the college entrance examination on the 25th of this month, but before that, the more they take part in a series of enrollment consultations, the less confident they are. Indeed, they are completely at a loss about their scores. What can they use to measure their target institutions? Yesterday, the reporter learned from relevant channels that the marking of Jiangsu college entrance examination in 2009 is drawing to a close. The English test paper was basically finished yesterday morning, and there is still finishing work today. At present, the Chinese test paper is also in the final stage, but the marking of mathematics has basically ended, with an average score of nearly 98 points (excluding additional questions). Last year, the average score of mathematics was around 89 (excluding additional questions), which was much higher than last year.
