If the examinees of the "2nd schedule" take the special supplementary examination, is the private university common test method not subject to pass / fail judgment?

 By the way, if you are planning to take the test on the "2nd schedule" and you decide to take the supplementary test for some reason, you will take the special supplementary test (February 2th and 13th). Become.However, most of the entrance examination methods that use the common test at private universities are announced on February 14th (Wednesday) every year.In the case of this year, because the "second schedule" has been set, the provision of common test results from the National Center for University Entrance Examinations to each university will be delayed from the originally scheduled Tuesday, February 2, and will be held on Monday, February 10. ) After that.Therefore, it is expected that the announcement of the results of the common test usage method of private universities will be delayed by several days, but the results of the examinees who took the special supplementary examination will be provided to each university before February 2 (Thursday). It is expected that the result will be announced.In that case, even if the examinee applies for the common test usage method of a private university, it cannot be the target of the pass / fail judgment because the result of the common test does not exist at the time of the pass / fail judgment.

 It seems that the number of people targeted for such cases is small, but will it be relieved?The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's implementation guidelines state that candidates for the special supplementary examination will be "considered so that they can apply for selection using the common test," but the response is left to each university.Applications for the common test for university admissions at private universities are often closed the day before the common test, so the application is secured, but the pass / fail judgment is unclear at this stage.Thinking in this way, it can be said that selecting the "first schedule" for taking the common test will minimize the risk.This is also the reason why professionals taking the exam recommend taking the "1st schedule".

 By the way, the questions of the special supplementary exam are based on the so-called "third set", which is a question for emergency response of the conventional center exam.In other words, it's a traditional problem, not a new trend problem expected in common tests.Therefore, it seems that you can expect a higher score than the common test, but considering other risks, it is not recommended to intentionally aim for the special supplementary test.
