The "University Admission Common Test" was conducted for the first time in place of the 31-year-old center test.
We asked the person in charge who actually created the exam about the aims and changes of the questions.
At the National Center for University Entrance Examinations, which conducts the common test, Mr. Kiyo Otsu, who oversaw the preparation of the exam questions, told the interviewer, As much as possible, I avoided the problem of memorizing the knowledge written in the textbook and spitting it out so that I could think carefully and arrive at the answer. I thought about the context of the problem that presented the historical material, instead of just ignoring it. I would like you to answer above. I was conscious that I would not induce an answer by the thought of an adult. "
Day 1 Geography History Citizens, etc.
On top of that, a lot of materials were dealt with, and about tapioca, pandas at Ueno Zoo, geography history and citizens with various subjects such as voting in national elections and history alteration, and the first day when Japanese and English were implemented, The number of pages has increased overall due to the increase in the number of materials to be referred to and the incorporation of gimmicks. I think that I also touched on important issues regarding questions. Familiar topics that the age of the examinees may know I was conscious of the idea of connecting to a big subject. "
Day 1 English listening
In addition, he said that he appointed more diverse speakers than at the time of the center test in listening to English on the first day, and explained the reason, "The so-called" standard English "is used when the examinees go out to the actual society." Not only. It includes people whose mother tongue is not English. For example, if you go on a research path, you can realistically assume that there are people from various countries at academic societies. "
Day 2 Science and Mathematics
Regarding science and mathematics conducted on the second day, "both intentionally emphasized the connection between events and theories that can be understood by real life and high school students. In physics, the structure of sound using conversation or musical instruments for introduction. I wanted to create a problem that was conscious of how to use mathematics, rather than simply remembering and solving formulas. "
Some high school teachers graduated from the question
At the University Entrance Examination Center, it has been pointed out that there is a problem in linking the entrance examination questions created by university teachers with high school education. So, I want you to utilize the problem in high school classes.
On top of that, "Because of the influence of the new coronavirus, it was difficult to get together and ask questions, so I am honestly relieved that I can do it now, but I think there are still points to be improved, so I am an expert from now on. I would like to evaluate after accepting the analysis and criticism of. "
