At the exam center Xandra demands to check her result but Mr. Moore bars her, saying only top students may view scores. When officials point to her recent 313 mock score, Robert tries to steady her, boasting he scored 400 and urging them to enroll together. Xandra rejects his proposal, insisting her future matters more, while staff and an official bluntly tell her there's no money for college and suggest marriage instead. The crowd jeers "loser," security is called, and she is dragged out of the hall—publicly humiliated and her college hopes left uncertain as she is escorted away.
