Regarding the Common Test for University Admissions, which will be introduced in 2020 instead of the National Center for University Entrance Examinations, the National Center for University Admissions has announced the direction of creating questions to test thinking and expression.Based on this, a pretest (trial survey) will be conducted in November, and the final conclusion will be clarified in early 11.

 According to the National Center for University Entrance Examinations, Japanese language and mathematics will introduce descriptive formulas in addition to the conventional mark sheet formulas.Descriptive questions in Japanese require understanding and interpretation of the content of the text, summarizing the gist, and describing it in an easy-to-understand manner.There are three sub-questions, and the amount of description is 3 to 20 characters, 30 to 40 characters, and 50 to 80 characters.

 In mathematics, three descriptive formulas are asked in Mathematics I, and the content is to briefly describe the problem-solving strategy.For English, I decided to use a private exam to measure "speaking and writing", while "reading and listening" was also seen on a mark sheet.Other subjects such as geography, history, civilian, physics, and chemistry raise issues of multifaceted consideration.

 プレテストは2017年11月に全国の高校など1,889校の協力を得て第1回を実施したが、2018年11月に第2回を開催し、今回公表した方向性でスムーズに試験ができるかどうか検証を進める。分析結果の公表は2019年1~3月を予定している。
The second pretest will use all venues where the center test will be held, and a total of about 2 people from the second year of high school and above will participate.We will also verify the venue management again.
