Exam season is coming. In a family with a family that refrains from taking the college exam, it will be time for the tension to become strained.
Next year’s entrance exam, which is in the midst of the spread of the new corona virus infection, will reach a major milestone due to changes to the entrance exam system. As each high school updates its college entrance exam difficulty forecast, what kinds of changes and points should be accounted for compared to the average year? So this time, we spoke to the Education Information Department of Kawai Juku, a major preparatory school.
Universities / colleges that can switch to a common test and reduce the number of applicants
“Most notable is the transition from the college entrance examination center exam to the college entrance exam, which will change from next year’s entrance exam. Next year’s entrance exam will be a big change in the general entrance exam.
The transition to the common test will be learned in collaboration with various people with “knowledge / skills”, “thinking / judgment / expressiveness” and “independence” through the “reform of the connection to high school” promoted by the government during several years. It is part of an effort to change the three elements such as “attitude” on an entrance exam that you assess in a balanced way. Along with that transition, the content of secondary exams and individual exams will change significantly for both national and private exams, so examinees will need to take appropriate action. “(Kawai Juku, Department of Educational Information)
After all, the switch to the common test appears to have a considerable impact on test takers. So what kinds of changes are there in each of the national and private sectors?
“In national and public secondary exams, in addition to changes in exam content, interviews are conducted to assess independence, survey content is scored and incorporated, and materials are presented as a statement of aspirational reasons. The number of universities to be done will increase.
In individual private exams, there are many universities making major changes to entrance exams, especially in tough Tokyo private universities, and the trends of applicants are also changing. Some of them have not adopted the center test use entrance exam in the past, but will start the common test use entrance exam from next year’s entrance exam.Sophia UniversityThere are also private universities like Gakuin University.
Especially in the case of Sophia University, you will switch to a pass / fail assessment method that always incorporates a common test and an external English certification test. In addition, Waseda University originally adopted the entrance examination for the center examination, but the Faculty of Political Economy, Faculty of International Liberal Arts, and Faculty of Sports Sciences require a common test for general selection.
ANDWaseda UniversityAnd Sophia University has faculties and departments where individual exams are questions like “comprehensive questions combining English and society”, and the unique color of the university becomes stronger. This will require applicants to make individual arrangements for that university, making it difficult for candidates to apply simultaneously with other universities. In that regard, I predict that the number of applicants will decrease for colleges that have adopted the combined method of Waseda University and Sophia University. “
