Benesse Corporation announced on November 2019, 11, the implementation policy of "GTEC" in 13, following the postponement of the introduction of the "University Entrance Examination English Grade Providing System".
According to Benesse Corporation, the "GTEC University Admissions Common Test Version" will not be implemented in 2020 because the "University Entrance Examination English Grade Providing System" has been postponed.However, the "GTEC test version" meets the requirements for participation in the "University Entrance Examination English Grade Providing System", such as the question structure, implementation format, and provided scores. We have decided to expand the opportunities to take the "GTEC test version" with improved functions.As a result, we have realized the operation of the English private examination, which was a major issue in the introduction of the "university entrance examination English grade provision system", considering the financial burden such as transportation costs and accommodation of the examinees due to the regional disparity regarding the setting of the venue. It is said that it will be done.
The following four points have been changed in the "GTEC certified version".
34. In order to make the test more rigorous, earmuffs for sound insulation (noise reduction of 3 dB) to prevent fraud in the speaking test, sound masking during preparation and answering time (technology to block surrounding voices with white noise) And earphones with canal type microphone (soundproofing effect close to earplugs), the above three points will be implemented in combination to support the entrance examination of the "GTEC" certification version.
2. We will improve the tablet terminal dedicated to the speaking test developed by "GTEC", and increase the strictness of the "GTEC" certification version by preventing erroneous operation of examinees and strengthening the startup management of the tablet terminal.
3、2020年度は、高校3年生専用の検定日として第2回（7月18日）、第4回（10月3日）を新設し、計5回（第1回6月13日／第2回7月18日／第3回8月29日／第4回10月3日／第5回12月5日）とする。これにより、受験生の志望校の入試区分（総合型選抜、学校推薦型選抜、一般選抜）に合わせた受検機会を提供できる。
4. When a university uses the "GTEC test version" for the entrance examination, the official score of the examinee can be confirmed from the dedicated Web page from the viewpoint of increasing the strictness of the entrance examination.
In addition, items such as the examination fee of 6,380 yen (tax included), the composition of questions for English 4 skills, and the official score being valid for 2 years will not be changed.
