First "University Admission Common Test" The first schedule ends at most venues

While the state of emergency was declared, the "university admission common test" that started from this year was conducted on the second day while thoroughly taking measures against infection, and on the 17th there were no noticeable troubles reported so far. Most of the venues have finished the first schedule.

The first common test for university admission to replace the National Center Test for University Admissions will be held on the 16th and 17th, and on the 30th and 31st of this month, due to the spread of infection. More than 530,000 people have applied at 681 venues nationwide.

On the 17th of the second day, science and mathematics tests were held, and at the venue, Tokyo Institute of Technology in Meguro-ku, Tokyo, staff members stated that "candidates with symptoms such as fever must offer." We welcomed the examinees while taking measures against infection, such as installing a signboard.

According to the National Center for University Entrance Examinations, which conducts common tests, all tests were canceled at the venue in Wakkanai City, Hokkaido on the 16th of the first day, or listening to English at the venue in Okinoshima Town, Shimane Prefecture due to a power outage. Although the test was interrupted, there were no noticeable problems reported so far on the 17th, and most of the venues completed the two-day schedule.

In the common test, thinking ability and judgment ability are becoming more important, and the amount of question sentences and materials to be handled is increasing in many subjects, and the content requires the ability to read and understand by utilizing knowledge.

The National Center for University Entrance Examinations will confirm the number of examinees who have applied for the supplementary examination because they could not take this examination due to infection, etc., and will prepare for the second examination on the 30th and 31st of this month, which also serves as the supplementary examination. I'm going to prepare.

Candidates

After completing the two-day test of the first "University Admission Common Test", the examinees heard various voices about the new test.

A boy student in the third year of Tokyo Metropolitan High School who took the exam at a venue in Tokyo said, "I was impatient because there were many differences from the mock exams and countermeasure books, and I couldn't show my abilities. I have about two weeks left until the first-choice private university exam, so I want to change my mind and do my best. "

A girl student in the third year of Tokyo Metropolitan High School said, "I felt that the tendency was different from the past center exams. Especially in the social studies subjects of ethics and political economy, problems were raised from the conversation and it was difficult to read. I think that I had to do my best to learn by myself because the policy changed in the middle of the test and it was difficult. I will study for the second examination of the national public university without losing to Corona and aim to pass. I was talking.

In addition, another girl student in the third year of Tokyo Metropolitan High School said, "I have to sort out the necessary information from a large amount of problems, organize it myself and derive the answer, and the state where the brain capacity is full continues for a long time. I don't think it was bad because I was able to practice the descriptive formulas that I was not good at at that time, and I didn't think it was bad. I studied hard because of the influence of Corona. I regret not being able to do it, but since everyone is in the same situation, I will recover from here for the private university exam. "

Major prep school "Conspicuous problems such as thinking ability and judgment ability"

At Kawai Juku, a major preparatory school that independently analyzes the university entrance common test that was conducted for the first time in place of the center test that lasted for 31 years, there are problems such as reading multiple information such as figures, tables, and historical materials to derive answers. There are various questions from current topics to everyday subjects, and it is said that problems that cannot be solved by simple memorization of knowledge are conspicuous.

Hiroshi Inagi, director of the Kawai Juku Educational Teaching Materials Development Department, said, "The questions that were conscious of thinking, judgment, and expressiveness were conspicuous. A lot of various materials were published, and I was conscious of guiding answers while reading and considering in time. I have the impression that it has been done and it is becoming difficult. "

On top of that, he said, "I can't compete with just memorizing knowledge, and I think it took more time to think than at the time of the center test, and I think it was more difficult for the examinees, such as not having enough time." I did.
