The center exam will change to "Common Test" from next year.
The university entrance examination that lasted 31 years will be a new entrance examination called “University Entrance Common Test” from next year.
Thinking ability Judgment increases
The entrance exam fee is expected to be 18,000 yen, which is the same as the current center exam, for three subjects or more.
The content of the examination will not be changed much because the English private examination and the descriptive questions in Japanese and mathematics, which were to be introduced, were initially postponed as two pillars of the entrance examination reform. Even if it does, it means that there will be more questions about thinking and judgment.
On the other hand, in English, problems such as pronunciation, accent, and reordering of words that were previously asked were not dealt with in the common test, and the score was 200 points for "writing" and 50 points for "listening" so far. Are changed to 100 points each.
In addition, Japanese language and mathematics were also scheduled to change the scoring and test times, but the introduction of short-form questions has been postponed, and the University Admissions Center will soon show a new policy.
Student "I don't know the difficulty level regardless of the past."
Next year, a second-year high school girl on a common test said, "Until now, what has happened to English private exams and written essay questions, and while rumors were flying around, there were some uneasy aspects, but the scoring has become a little clearer. There is no question in the past, I do not know the difficulty, but I want to do my best. "
Another second-year high school student said, "I've been buzzing over the entrance exams for a long time, but I want to go at my own pace. "
School enrollment school "name changes, but there is not much difference"
Five years ago, Y-SAPIX, a junior high school in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, has been working hard to improve thinking and expression skills.
Last October, an exam for first-year high school students said that they had an issue in which they could answer their opinion in 200 words or less about the education of a physically handicapped person.
However, last month, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology postponed the introduction of short-form questions, which means that future examination questions will be returned to blank paper for consideration.
Mr. Naoki Okumura said, “Since English private exams and written questions have been put off, the name will change from the center exam next year, but I don't think there is much of a difference. I would like to pursue study corresponding to the powers required by each university. "
