On the 17th of the second day, science and math exams will be held.

Questioning tendency emphasizes thinking ability and judgment ability

This is the first common university entrance test that was conducted in place of the 31-year-old center test.



On the 16th of the first day, listening to geography history, citizens and national languages, as well as foreign languages ​​and English was held.



The mark sheet method has been maintained as the questioning method, but the content emphasizes thinking ability and judgment ability more than before, and it is said that the ability to think for oneself is required rather than knowledge-oriented.



Comparing the number of pages of the exam questions on the 16th of the first day with last year's center exam, the geographic history has increased from 165 pages to 179 pages, and the public sector has increased from 125 pages to 143 pages.

Yoyogi Seminar, a major preparatory school, is conducting its own analysis of the test held on the 16th, and World History B of Geographical History deals with various topics such as the plague epidemic, and presents a wealth of tables, graphs, and historical materials. It is said that the tendency has changed significantly from the center test.



In the modern society of the public, it takes time to derive the answer due to the increase in the amount of question sentences and materials, and while many students may have difficulty in allocating, the students who took measures after acquiring the knowledge of the textbook calmed down. I'm trying to solve it.



In addition, regarding the national language, although there were new trends such as questions that associate multiple sentences, there were many problems that followed the center test.
