The National Center for University Entrance Examinations has announced that it will double the score for English listening questions in the common test for university admissions starting in 2020.Although it emphasizes the attitude of emphasizing listening ability, it is also permitted for each university to change the score and use it for admissions selection.
According to the National Center for University Entrance Examinations, English questions are divided into writing and listening in the center exam, with 200 points for writing and 50 points for listening.The common test for university admission is divided into reading and listening, and 100 points are assigned to both reading and listening.The test time is 80 minutes for reading and 60 minutes for listening.Of these, the answer time for listening is 30 minutes.
Reading removes the pronunciation and accent problems that were traditionally asked in writing and specializes in measuring the ability to read sentences.Until now, listening has read the question sentences twice, but there are also problems that are read only once.
Kokugo, Mathematics I, and Mathematics I / A ask three descriptive questions.The national language is not scored, but is evaluated in stages, but in mathematics, it is scored by writing mathematical formulas.The test time is 3 minutes for Japanese and 100 minutes for mathematics.
The first test date is January 1th and 2021th, 1.The implementation outline has already been notified to the prefectural boards of education.The application procedure will be announced by the end of June 16.
