Sophia University will renew the general selection system for all faculties and departments from the 2021 entrance examination, except for the Faculty of International Liberal Arts, which has a different entrance examination system, in order to further promote "high school connection reform". Announced that.

 Under the new system, general entrance exams will be conducted in three ways: "TEAP score utilization type (university-wide unified schedule entrance examination)", "undergraduate department examination / common test combined type", and "common test utilization type". By using the three selection methods together, we aim to accept a variety of enrollees according to each method.The main changes are the utilization of external certification test results that measure four English skills in all methods and the establishment of a new selection method that introduces the common test for university admission.

 "TEAP score utilization type (university-wide unified schedule entrance examination)" is a selection method that comprehensively makes a pass / fail judgment based on the TEAP or TEAP CBT scores taken in advance and the results of unique subject / subject examinations. The TEAP / TEAP CBT score will be changed from the current general entrance examination (TEAP usage type) application standard usage to the pass / fail judgment standard usage (score conversion usage) in the new method.If the designated examination subjects are common, you can apply for multiple faculties and departments at the same time.

 The "undergraduate department test / common test combined type" is a selection method that comprehensively makes a pass / fail judgment based on the three test results of the common test for university admission, the English external test, and the department's own test.Instead of the original subject / subject test that was conducted in the current general entrance examination (by subject), the results of the common test for university admission and the English external examination will be used to measure basic academic ability and four skill language ability.The results of the English external test are converted into scores based on the band score according to the CEFR level.External certification tests utilize multiple tests.Unlike the current general entrance exams (by subject), the question format asks for thinking ability including descriptive formulas, and more comprehensive academic ability achievement such as sentence comprehension, logical thinking, and expressiveness. To measure.

 The "common test-based" is a selection method that makes a pass / fail judgment based only on the results of the common test for university admission and the English external test.The results of the English external test are converted into scores based on the band score according to the CEFR level.If the designated examination subjects are common, you can apply for multiple faculties and departments at the same time.

 In addition, as application requirements, submission is required at the time of online application regarding the results of activities that were independently undertaken in high school life, study abroad / overseas experience, acquired qualifications / certifications, etc.However, it will not be scored and will be used as reference material to contribute to student guidance and high school-university cooperation after enrollment.
