The deadline for each university to announce courses is September 2022, which was previously the end of the fiscal year.

What is important for the examinee is what kind of entrance examination subject the university of choice will impose.There is a "two-year advance notice rule" for university entrance exams, and each university is supposed to announce the subjects and subjects required for the entrance exam before the students in the applicable grades are in the second year of high school.However, unless the outline of the common test is decided for each university, at least the subjects and subjects of the entrance examination method using the common test cannot be decided.At present, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is planning to publish the outline of the common test and the guidelines for enrollment selection around the summer of 2 <Chart 2>.
After receiving such notifications from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, each university will decide on the entrance examination system, entrance examination subjects, and subjects of its own university.At this stage, some universities have already started collecting information from admissions officers, but it can be said that no university is considering it systematically.Especially in the case of private universities, we want to decide the subjects of our own university after seeing the entrance examination subjects of other universities, which have many applicants, so the publication time tends to be delayed.However, as mentioned above, there is a rule two years ago, so the deadline for publication is fixed.By the way, this deadline has traditionally been "during the year" of the year of publication.In other words, it would have been better if it had been decided and announced by the end of March, but if you look at the material <Chart 2> of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, you can read that it is around September 3.In order for the first year high school students to decide the elective courses from the second year, it is better than the end of the year, but many universities think that it is better to decide and publicize during the year as before. Will be.At the moment, I don't think I can afford to think about the 3 entrance exam because of the preparation for the 2022 high school connection first year entrance exam and the countermeasures against the new coronavirus infection. It is published on the website of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.I would like you to start the examination as soon as possible and announce it as soon as possible.

Other points of interest are English 4 skill evaluation, English question questions, and science / geography description questions.

Returning to the common test, there are some points to be noted other than the subject structure.First is the question of English 4 skill evaluation. In the 2021 entrance exam, the implementation of the English qualification / certification test grade provision system was postponed, and the introduction of private exams such as the Eiken test in the common test was postponed.As a time to introduce this system again, the new course entrance examination is an easy year to aim for.Therefore, the possibility of utilizing the private exam in the common test for the 2025 entrance exam and conducting an English 4 skill evaluation cannot be ruled out.
Regarding the English 4 skill evaluation, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology initially stated that the English test for the common test would continue until 2023 and would not be conducted after that.Many high school and university officials want the National Center for University Entrance Examinations to continue asking questions and questions, but at this stage it is not clear whether they will be abolished or continued.However, after the government once announced that it would not ask questions, as long as it did not deny it, it would continue to "do not ask questions" as a measure.As the Minister announced at the end of last year that he would forgo the English 4 skill evaluation and the math / national language writing problem, whether to take measures to change the policy at an appropriate time, or in the enrollment selection implementation guidelines scheduled to be announced around next summer. , It is worth noting whether it will take the form of natural extinction without touching the English 4 skill evaluation at all.
And if we aim to introduce the descriptive questions that caused great confusion again, the goal will be the first year of the new course entrance examination.The original plan was to introduce descriptive questions in geography, history, civilians, and science in addition to mathematics and national languages.Although not likely to be feasible, sudden game changes may occur, such as the rapid expansion of online interviews in comprehensive and school-recommended selections.
The 2025 entrance exam is still considered to be a long way off, but the examination of subjects and subjects for the common test is steadily progressing.At both university and high school entrance exams, whether or not you can survive the 2021 entrance exam in front of you is a major issue for the time being, but by the summer of next year, you will be able to see the outline of the 2025 entrance exam.From there, the new course entrance exam will start to move.
