Strategy for the Common Test (Center Test)

For the Common Test, it is better to aim for subjects where you can expect a high score in a short period of time.
Ethics, current society, politics and economics, basic physics, basic chemistry, and English (reading) are good targets.

English (Reading): Not so difficult at the level of Eiken Level 2,
but the speed of reading makes a difference in the score.
If you finish a thin grammar book, you will be able to read sentences quickly and get about 70%.
There are many students who can get only 50%
even if they go through a vocabulary book such as Target.
It is important to set a rule that suits you,
such as reading two questions at the halfway point of a sentence.
However, since the score is usually proportional to the deviation score of the writing test,
students with a Kawai Zenritsu deviation score of 65 or
higher will not need to take the test more than once once once they are accustomed to the test.

There is no need to prepare for the test many times,
but students with a deviation in the 50s should have the option to read the test.
However, students with a deviation in the 50s need to build up the timing and methodology of reading the options
by solving the questions over and over again.
When reading aloud, it is better to read passages below one's ability or passages that are difficult but one understands all the meanings.


English (Listening): Need to get used to answering (processing skills)
and familiarity with English conversation sounds.
About 15% British pronunciation,
with a few percent of Japanese-style pronunciation mixed in.
Questions 1 and 2, which are read twice, are easy, but
Questions 3 and 4 are read only once.
Questions 5 and 6 require quick reading of the options,
organizing the content of the read aloud,
and separating out the questions that cannot be done.
Fatigue increases toward the latter half of the question.
If you are good at English composition, you will have a slight advantage
because you can easily anticipate sentences you missed or sentences before you say them,
but you can also discard them.

Math (co-test): The questions are guided, so it is quite habitual.
Students who have memorized the solution methods
and formulas will have an advantage because there is almost no room to derive formulas.
There is not much difference in calculation speed.
It is advantageous to memorize the 1/6 formula,
although it is not popular with students taking the exam.

They are not very good at memorizing formulas,
but it is advantageous for students to memorize 1/6 formulas, etc.
Students who have memorized the patterns also have an advantage
because they don't have the time or the psychological capacity to go through trial-and-error for the solution patterns.
However, the 2022 numerical sequence requires a certain level of comprehension and resistance to brain fatigue.
Especially for Math 2B, the time is quite tight
and the amount of practice is necessary because of fatigue and impatience.
There is little correlation between the scores of the second national examination and
. Even if the deviation score of the writing practice test is high,
many students cannot get a score if they are not accustomed to it.
Many predict that the university entrance examinations will become easier in 2023.
(Many instructors predict that integers will be easier in FY23.)
(Many instructors expect integers to be easier in the 23rd year.

(Many lecturers expect the integer exam to be easier in the 2011 academic year.
(23rd year) The concepts and patterns of mathematics cannot be covered
by the Common Test or past Center exams.
In addition, the official announcement states
that "calculations with a large number of digits are not essential and
. consideration so that students taking the exam can spend sufficient time on it."
which can be interpreted as meaning that the amount of calculations will be reduced in FY23.
In addition, the official announcement for Math 1a,
Question 4 [Integers] and Question 5 [Menelaus],
states that there were more examinees who did not respond to the questions than expected.




Geography (co-test): based on Segawa's Center Live Report (Systematic Geography),
Geography (Kyoteki): based on Segawa's Center's live coverage (systematic geography),
read Murase-sensei and Yamaoka-sensei's lecture-based reference books to grasp causal relationships
(e.g., temperature stability because of seaside location),
Study geography (causal relationships have a significant impact on geography).
Practice past papers for about two months.
(Mock exams are not good because the difficulty level is not stable)
. It is also effective to learn how to choose options
and how to look at a map from several teachers in a group class.
In the field of geography, if you use one of the teachers' books,
your average score will be just under 80, although it will be very uneven.

Modern Society (Kyote): a fairly tasty subject with the least amount of learning.
Many students score 60-80% even without studying at all.

Ethics (Kyote): Low amount of memorization, highly recommended if you can choose,
requires ability in modern literature.

Japanese history, world history (Kyotei): Abnormally large amount of memorization, definitely not recommended.
If you are not good at other subjects, it is possible.

Ethics and Political Science (Kyotei): Not as much to memorize as History,
and scores are more stable than Geography.
It is also an option for top-ranked universities.
Modern Japanese (Kyotei): It is better to understand the rule of elimination for modern Japanese at the Center,
because the correct answers are abstract.
There are reference books that summarize tips on how to cut down. Practice with past papers is the best
. (Mock exams are not used as much as possible because the quality of the questions is lower.)
Abstract choices are often the correct answer.
(Concrete choices would be quickly confirmed.)

Old Japanese (Kyote): If you remember the auxiliary verbs and words,
you will be able to get about 60%, but
Kokubun (Kyote): You can get 60% if you memorize some particles and vocabulary.
This is the worst subject in terms of cost.
You need to memorize all the words, even the polysemy words, and understand the particles.
This is the worst subject in the world.
It is easier to estimate the historical background if you read the classic manga of the Tale of Genji.
Many top science school applicants also throw it away.
Chinese (Kyoutei): A good cosmetic subject
that can be answered to some extent as long as you remember the phrasal rules in a thin grammar book.

Chinese literature (Kyotei): This is a good subject
that can be answered to some extent as long as you memorize the phraseology in a thin grammar book.
Basic Physics (Kyotei): Fewer patterns and much less practice.
It is easy for middle and upper level students to aim for 90% or more.
Theory is a little difficult to understand and difficult to study on your own.
Individual tutoring is suitable, but it is difficult to find a good instructor.
There is no way to get a good teacher.

Basic Chemistry (Kyote): Narrow scope, easy to get 80% consistently, some knowledge required.
Theory is easier than physics.
Theory is easier than Physics, and it is difficult to study on your own,
but it is possible with school textbooks (Seminar Chemistry, etc.).
Time is a little tight in the real test.
A little time-consuming in the actual exam.
Basic Earth Science (Kyote): The least amount of material.
If in doubt, you should choose it. Not many reference books.

Basic Biology (Kyote): The most quantity among the basic science courses.


Study methods for national university second round examinations and private universities

English (national secondary, private universities): go through English grammar,
vocabulary, and idioms lighter rounds, then work through the close reading books.
If your score does not improve at all at this point,
it is often because you do not understand the grammar and cannot understand the close reading reference books.
It is difficult to see mistakes in English composition and Japanese translation by yourself,
so the most efficient way is to have a tutor correct them.
The number of students who can improve their grades in group classes is quite small,
even in the upper levels.
However, even with individual tutoring,
it is difficult to dramatically raise scores in English.
Japanese translation and English composition require Japanese language skills,
and
They are dependent on Japanese language skills,
but if you correct them patiently,
you will be able to do so little by little.
The tendency of the Japanese writing test is quite different
from the test at the top universities
such as the Imperial University of Tokyo and Waseda-Keio Sophia University,
so it takes several months to prepare for it.
The tendency of Kyoto University and Osaka University,
which emphasize English composition and syntax,
is unique and requires more than half a year to prepare for it.
The difficult Japanese translation is called "English-English translation".
For the more difficult Japanese translations, you can use "Perspective Diagram of English Reading" or
"Pole Pole Pole" as a reference book for interpretation.
[You don't need perspective diagrams for standard-level long sentences. Of course,
they are not necessary for English conversation."]
Also, the University of Tokyo is moderately difficult, but time is tight,
and some aptitude for information processing is necessary.
Also, the University of Tokyo's listening is poor in sound quality and pronunciation,
and requires some getting used to.

Mathematics (National 2nd Preparatory Exam, National 2nd Preparatory Exam)
Math (National 2nd, private universities):
It is efficient to have tutoring to explain basic concepts
and answer questions about problems you don't understand.
Group classes are almost useless in the middle and upper levels except as a pacemaker.
If you study with a good tutor, your grades will slowly improve after about three months of tutoring.
The national and public schools give questions that require a certain level of knowledge.
The range of questions is often biased,
and you can choose to discard areas that are not covered in past examinations.
Private universities have a certain amount of patterned answers.
Private universities can be solved with a patterned approach to some extent,
but the same is not true for private medical schools and Keio University Sigma Kappa.
While private universities can be solved by following a pattern to a certain extent,
private medical schools and Keio SFC have a unique tendency to do so.
The patterned questions in Blue Chart,
etc. can be seen in the questions.
If you don't understand the patterned questions in Blue Chart, etc.,
you should try to understand the flow of the question and reproduce it by yourself.
If you can understand the flow of the question, reproduce it by yourself,
and answer it correctly three times quickly,
the question is considered good.
Not much time is needed to think.
On the other hand, in the higher level entrance examinations at the higher level schools,
you should practice fitting the pattern by moving your hands.

Modern Japanese (national secondary, private universities):
Both group classes and individual tutoring have their merits, but
The grade will not improve nearly as much by taking a class with a group instructor who is about average.
It is considered the most difficult subject to get a good grade, but
. If you find some instructors, your grades will improve
(the range of deviation will be less).
However, the instructors often use abstract stories and cheat in their teaching,
and it is difficult to find a good instructor.
It is very difficult to find a good instructor, and it is also difficult to identify a good instructor.

How to use group classes at cram schools and prep schools

. Group classes in English and math in high school are almost pointless.
Geography is useful for learning methodology; you can take courses from multiple instructors.
Reading textbooks is not interesting for world history either,
so it is easier to listen to interesting lectures in group classes.
Physics and Chemistry are best taught individually by good instructors,
but there are often not enough instructors for Physics and Chemistry.
In physics and chemistry, there is often a shortage of tutors, and it is difficult to find good tutors.
It is acceptable to take group classes
if there is a good instructor in physical chemistry.

How to use tutoring and private tutors

. You should use tutoring for high school English, math, Japanese, physics, and chemistry.
There is a shortage of tutors for math and science.
There are a number of English tutors, but they are often inadequate.
College students who are paid 1000-1400 yen per hour at tutoring schools are often hired for the time being
if there are no famous universities nearby.
In many cases, university students with good looks and good manners are hired for the time being.
Their amount of knowledge is questionable, but they are enthusiastic.
University student-led cram schools are lively and students are more motivated.
The amount of exercises can be earned, but the theory is often not mastered, and
The deviation level reaches a ceiling at around 50.
In junior high school math,
a certain amount of results can be achieved just by reading the answers,
but in English, students need to learn a little bit of the instructional model.
English requires a little bit of mastery of the teaching model,
which is quite inferior to working teachers.
They also talk about Japanese society during chats, but
They are not very helpful as they are quite flimsy.
(Need leadership? and less power harassment when you grow up? etc.)
Often wasting class time with stories that have no merit
.
Many of the adult instructors at tutoring cram schools who make
around 2000-3000 yen per hour are those who have been sifted out by private companies.
They are not only good at teaching, but they are also very good at learning.
They are often judged on their personality, human qualities (empathy, aggression, patience), intelligence,
looks, mental illness, or amount of knowledge.
(Employees of tutoring agencies and cram schools also have a modicum of good-naturedness,
but their abilities and human qualities circle back to those of the tutors.)
Grades do not improve much. They are dirty in appearance and have a strong need for approval.
He has trouble finding people to talk to and is often demotivated by supercilious sermons.
They are not good at math, physics, and chemistry.
Can be used for basic math and physics/chemistry if you are compatible.
For English composition, a higher level instructor can help you understand the missing grammar.
English instructors are easy to match due to the large number of students, but
They can also be used if the instructor does not have enough knowledge or has experience abroad.
However, some of them may not have enough knowledge,
may not understand the teaching method due to their overseas experience,
or may be emotionally attached and have low intelligence.

There are also many teachers with problems such as emotional problems,
low intelligence, autistic tendencies, etc.

The tutoring is done in the student's home, so it is not very lively,
and it is difficult to motivate both the instructor and the student.
Tutors have to be aware of the parents' point of view when teaching.
Parents often have to pay attention to the instructor, such as by bringing in gifts, etc.
The instructors have to be aware of the parents' viewpoints.


About top private universities

. The tendency of top private universities (Waseda-Keio-Sophia) is unique,
and it is difficult to pass the entrance exam with only a short period of preparation for national universities,
even if your deviation score is higher than the Kawai score.
Waseda, Keio, and Sophia are difficult to use as a stopgap for lower regional universities (Tohoku, Kyushu, Nagoya, Hokkaido).
(Many of the lower regional universities that have been accepted as dual enrollment applicants are Meiji, Doshisha, and the University of the Sciences).
The top students who use the Center-based entrance examinations go to Chuo Law School,
and the middle students go to Ritsumeikan B.A.
. The middle-ranked students often apply to Ritsumeikan BKC (Biwako Kusatsu Campus) to secure a place in the sliding scale.
The rough difficulty levels of private universities are as follows
Waseda, Keio (including SFC), Sophia (Gaikoku-Ei, Kokugan-Hou)>Waseda Univ.of Education,
Waseda Univ. of Tokorozawa, Sophia Humanities>International Christian University, Sophia Science and Technology
Tokyo Univ. of Science>Doshisha Meiji Chuo Law>Rikkyo>Seigaku Chuo>Kwangaku>Hosei,Ritsumeikan,Kansai Univ.
[Excluding special faculties such as Keio Medical School and Sophia Divinity School]
The general cohort of regional imperial universities is around Doshisha University of Science and Technology.
It is difficult even for those who wish to study at regional universities to be accepted to Sophia University.
Percentage of students admitted through general entrance examinations
Waseda: 50%-70% (including internal admission), Sophia: 30%-40%,
Tokyo Univ. of Science: 60%-5:, Tokyo Univ. of Science, Management: 40%-5:,
Meiji: 60%-80% (including internal admission),
Aogaku: about 40%-60% 5 copies; Rikkyo: about 60%; Chuo Hosei: 50%.

Mock exams at each prep school

. The level of students who take the mock examinations varies considerably depending on the mock examination.
Population level: Sundai Zenkoku Mock Exam>>Kawai Zenritsu>>Shinken Mock Exam

Shinken Mock Exam

The number of examinees is the largest, but the results for schools
with a deviation score of 70 or higher cannot be relied upon.
The level of acceptance to Hokkaido University and Kyushu University with a deviation of 70.

Kawai Zento Mock Exam

For the first year of high school, only English, mathematics, and Japanese are required.
The most major mock test. Also known as Zento.
The deviation score of around 60 is at the level of Yokogoku and Chiba.


Sundai National Mock Exam

It is not reliable for lower ranked schools.
There are many examinees from advanced schools.
A deviation of 50 is at the level of Kyushu University,
and a deviation of 60 is at the level of Kyoto University.
Sundai Mock Exams for junior high school students can get top rankings for precocious students,
but there is not much correlation with the results of university entrance examinations.

Reputations of prep schools and cram schools

Tojin

. Basic tuition fees are not that high.

Additional courses are required.
Students often skip classes by watching Nico Nico Douga,
so their academic ability often does not improve.
After Corona, Tojin is the sole winner.
If you get an "A" grade in the Todai Mock Exam,
you can attend TOPSHIN for about the cost of materials.
Of course, it is counted as a passing grade.
All students are required to take the TOHJIN exam.

Kawaijuku

Three major prep schools.
The largest prep school. Nagoya is its home base. Strong in liberal arts.
They want students to take summer courses.
Relationships between instructors are businessman-like.

you may be able to take courses for free,
with a reduction of 200,000, depending on your grades.


Sundai

One of the three major prep schools.
Classes are short, 50 minutes. Seat assignments. Classes can be reviewed later.
Many students cannot keep up with the class because it is too difficult.
The top instructors may be veterans who have been there for a long time,
but it is easier for young people to play an active role than at other prep schools.
Students can use the questioning app and the curriculum creation app atama+.
School buildings are being closed. Rumor has it that
if you get a deviation score of 80 or higher on the Sundai mock exam or if you are in the top 50,
you will be awarded a special scholarship (no tuition fees).

Yoyogi Seminar

Formerly one of the three major prep schools.
Formerly one of the three major prep schools.
The school was closing down and 20 schools were closed.
Many of them had charismatic instructors with strong personalities.
They sometimes had competition among instructors.
The company culture facilitated young lecturers.
Since the number of schools has been reduced to six,
some say that the quality of instructors at the six schools has improved.
Daizemi's university-specific mock examinations were not reliable,
and some students who took the Waseda-Keio mock examinations ranked first in Waseda-Keio but ended up in Hosei.
The Common Test Pre is large, with 200,000 students taking the test.


Yotsuya Gakuin

. Students solve the printouts and have them graded by tutors.
They sometimes don't catch the tutors or don't know the answers to their questions.
Group classes are also offered, but they do not have a good reputation.

Takeda Juku

Commonly known as a cram school that does not offer classes. The space is small.
Takeda Juku started as a revolutionary tutorial school based on reference books and without classes.
A bad reputation is the high cost of tuition.
Bad reputation: high tuition fees.
Poor results in passing entrance examinations.
Tutors cannot answer questions.
Tutors are often university students.
They offer free exam counseling.
Achievements are improving.
The company has a growing track record.


Teturyokukai

Teruyukai is a prestigious cram school that accounts for 60% of the students accepted
into Tokyo University's Science 3 program.
In Kanto, it is divided into regular classes (A, B, C) and open classes according to subject.
A is taught by a regular employee from Tokyo University,
and there seems to be a difference in the quality of lectures between A and BC.
Many write that some classes are just written on the board by part-timers.
In Kanto, designated schools such as Kaisei, Sakurain,
and Chikkoma allow students to enter without a test at the first year of junior high school.
In Kanto, the pace is faster, and Math 2B is finished by the third year of junior high school.

The entrance test can be taken by students who are not from designated schools,
but some say that the score is increased if you are from a designated school.
The instructors are all graduates of the University of Tokyo's third and first divisions of science and literature.
There are two full-time employees in the Kansai region,
a Kyoto University science major and a Tokyo University humanities major, but they are said to be excellent teachers.
Most of the part-time instructors are from Kyoto University, Osaka University, and public medical schools,
but sometimes there are problems they don't understand, and their teaching is not as good as the full-time employees.
Classes are 3 hours long, but they are extended for the convenience of the instructor. Homework is a bit much.
About 40 students are admitted to Science class 3 every year from Yoyogi school.
About 30 students from Osaka school are accepted.
About 30 students from Osaka School are accepted.
[The number of students in the third category of science is 100]
. In Kansai, they are divided into SA, A1, A2, A3, and B for each subject.
About 20 students from Kansai are accepted into the University of Tokyo's Science 3.
About 30 students are in SA, and about 30 are in Nada.
The SA is about 30 students,
and they are all from Nada High School and other very advanced schools that are aiming for the third grade of science.
As for B, there are about 20 students who are admitted to Tokyo Univ.

Even B students can get into the University of Tokyo Science 1 and local national medical schools.
A1 and above are mostly aiming for Science 3 and Kyoto Medical School,
while B has many students from public schools who are not aiming for medical school.
A1 and above are aiming for R3 and Kyoto Medical School.
If they don't take classes seriously, they will go on to Kyoto University or Osaka University for science and engineering.
In Kansai, only designated schools are allowed to enter,
and entrance tests are conducted even at the first year of junior high school.

The teachers in Kansai are all alumni of national medical schools, and many of them are very good at the subjects they teach.
The homework is very heavy and difficult to keep up with.

The homework is very heavy and difficult to keep up with.
They have abandoned the Kanto textbooks and use original textbooks created by the Kansai instructors.
They use original textbooks made by instructors in the Kansai region.


Mock examinations

Z-kai Advanced Mock Exam (junior high school students)

Many questions are of high difficulty. Similarity problems are frequently asked.
　Due to the difficulty of the questions, the top students may not be able to get a good score, so it is easy for students to lose ground.
The test is taken by very advanced junior and senior high schools, which dominate the top ranks of the high achievers.

Kawaijuku University Entrance Examination Open (commonly known as Kawai Open)

This is a fairly major mock test
.

There is also a Waseda-Keio level mock exam for private universities.

Many of their parents are elite businessmen or doctors.


Kaisei

The school with the most students accepted to Tokyo University.
The top students who take the junior high school entrance exam go to Tukukoma,
and the top students who take the high school entrance exam go to Hibiya.
The top students who take the high school entrance exam go to Tukukoma, and the top students who take the high school entrance exam go to Hibiya, so the top students are thin.

Grading standards for each university

Because they are graded by English and math professors,
the grading standards are quite different from those of mock exams at prep schools.

An English teacher at a prep school said that the scoring of the mock examinations at prep schools is more lenient than it actually is because of the complaints that are made.

The model answers to the entrance examinations at prep schools are also considered to be quite bad by the University of Tokyo professors, and are said to be unscorable.
The model examinations are graded by the students.
Mock exams are often graded by students and are absolute evaluations, but

The one thing that all public universities have in common is
that they look carefully at the process of solution when it comes to mathematics.
Also, even in mathematics, careful explanation in Japanese is often necessary.
Some professors said that even if a calculation is stuck,
if the subsequent policy is written down, partial points will be given to a certain extent.
However, there was a time when private medical schools unfairly deducted points
