The Education Information Center of Obunsha Co., Ltd. analyzed the entrance examination requirements of all universities regarding the use of external English examinations in the 2017 university entrance examinations (recommendations / AOs, general entrance examinations) and announced the results.
For some time, external English tests such as "Eiken qualification level 2 or higher" have been used for recommendation admissions and AO admissions, but in recent years, a new "common test" that replaces the center test has also been used as an external English test. The use of the test is being considered, and its use is increasing rapidly in the general entrance examinations of each university.
Examples of usage in general entrance exams include "score conversion", "application qualification", and "additional points", which consider the Eiken quasi 2nd grade = 80 points for the English exam, 2nd grade = 90 points, and quasi 1st grade = 100 points. , "Judgment preferential treatment", etc. There are various usage methods depending on the university.In the future, it is thought that acquiring an external examination in advance before the entrance examination may spread as a new style of university entrance examination.
According to the survey, out of all 2017 universities, 764% (41 universities) of recommendation / AO and 314% (14 universities) of general entrance examinations used the external examination for entrance examinations. Compared to 110, the number of recommended / AO schools has increased by 2016, and the number of general entrance exams has increased by 43.In particular, the number of new introductions for national and public university recommendations / AOs and general entrance examinations for private universities has increased significantly.
It is thought that the main external examinations used by universities for entrance examinations are that more than 9% of the recommendation / AO and general entrance examinations are adopted by "Eiken", and the questions are given according to the course of study.Next, TOEIC and TOEFL.The adoption rate of "TEAP," which was developed as an examination exclusively for university entrance exams, is increasing rapidly.
Looking at the English level required for the entrance examination using the external examination, 2% of the Eiken quasi 2nd and 82.1nd grades set by the national government as the target when graduating from high school, and 1% of the quasi 10.7st grade.In the general entrance examination, 2% of the Eiken quasi 2nd and 64.4nd grades and 1% of the quasi 33.5st grades.The English level required for general entrance exams is set higher.In addition, national universities and difficult private universities are the main ones seeking the quasi-first level.
