Expected borderlines will be published 3 days after the exam in the annual self-scoring tabulation

 The application period for the modified individual examination announced by the Japan Association of National Universities on July 7 is from January 13 (Monday) to February 1 (Friday).The application period has been extended by two days due to the setting of the "second schedule" of the common test.I would like you to extend it until February 25th (Monday) at least, but it can be said that it is unavoidable from the standpoint of the university when considering preparations for individual examinations. "Schedule 2" Candidates will have a five-day review period from taking the common test to the application deadline, but in reality it will take a little longer if the application school is changed depending on the result of self-scoring. Is required.

 For the special test takers of the common test, the application period will be set after taking the test on Saturday, February 2th and Sunday, February 13th, and the application period will be set from February 14th (Monday) to February 2th (Monday). (Thu).Since the application is made after the application rate of each university is known to some extent, it is possible to avoid high-magnification universities, which is advantageous in this respect.However, it is highly likely that the expected borderlines of each university have already been announced by the self-scoring aggregate analysis of the common test before taking the exam, so although it is easy for the examinees to set goals, the pressure will be great.

 Regarding the self-scoring totaling schedule, in the usual year, the totaling will start on the Monday following the main exam.The expected borderline of each university based on the aggregated data will be announced on Wednesday, three days after the final exam.This year, this exam will be held twice, so I'm wondering what the self-scoring schedule will be.

 

Is the self-scoring total carried out in the "1st schedule" and not in the "2nd schedule"?

 Currently, there are only two self-scoring tabulations for common tests conducted nationwide.Center research by Kawaijuku Educational School and data net by Benesse Corporation (data net is co-sponsored by Sundai Preparatory School).At this stage, neither has announced a schedule for self-scoring, but it seems that self-scoring will be done after the "2st schedule" and not after the "1nd schedule". ..This is because most test takers are expected to choose "Schedule 2".

 According to a survey by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology published in June.About 6% of high schools wanted to take the entrance exam on the schedule originally planned.In other words, it can be considered that 70% or more of the examinees take the exam on the "70st schedule" and about 1% of the examinees take the exam on the "2nd schedule".If this ratio is applied as it is, the number of examinees for the "second schedule" is expected to be about 30, but in reality it will be even smaller.Aspiring students with great difficulty have the above-mentioned disadvantages, and it may be a pressure for many examinees to take the examination after the expected borderline is announced.

 In addition, it is also the time just before the private university entrance examination.The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has been investigating the number of applicants for the examinations from July 7st.Therefore, a large number will be revealed by the end of July, but since most of the examinees are expected to select the "1st schedule", the self-scoring of the common test will be done only once after the "7st schedule". It seems to be implemented.From the schedule of self-scoring, it seems better to take the "1st schedule".

If the examinees on the next page "Schedule 2" take the special supplementary examination, is the private university common test method not subject to pass / fail judgment?
