What is a college entrance exam in the first place?

The university entrance examination question is to see whether the student's academic ability is sufficient for university education, and is created based on the course of study and the actual situation of high school learning.However, each English private exam is created for a different purpose, and more and more English education experts have pointed out that it can be used in university entrance exams.Regarding the use within the framework of the common test for university admission, it is not used alone for the qualification / certification test, but for the time being, it will be used in combination with the common test for English, so even a cautious person can get a certain understanding. However, the problem is different when it comes to using it alone.In addition, removing the limit of twice in the third year of high school, which was set when the "English provision system" was introduced, will lead to an earlier entrance examination.In the process of promoting the use of the English private exam, as is already done at some universities, if you give a certain score in the English private exam, you can get a perfect score in English in the general selection. If it increases, the impact on high school education will be extremely large.
Many people from the standpoint of promoting utilization have already said that they are using it in comprehensive selection and school-recommended selection, but these selections are used as an index to evaluate the notable activities of examinees. Therefore, the meaning is completely different from the utilization in general selection.I also heard that there are various opinions about the appropriateness of the system even at universities that have already introduced it.
In addition, the proposal cites the setting of selection categories that do not utilize private examinations as an example of alternative measures in consideration of economic circumstances, but new issues such as the inability to maintain fairness among selection categories. Will also occur.Each university should make a decision on the appropriateness of judging only English by an index different from other subjects in general selection, and after thoroughly considering various issues caused by the use of private examinations.
The major factor behind the use of English qualifications and certification exams in the Common Test for University Admissions and the abandonment of the introduction of descriptive questions is that the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has not fully established the prospect of solving various problems pointed out at the examination stage. Preparations have been made with the introduction. The "Conference on the Ideal Way of University Entrance Examinations" does not provide a sufficient summary on that point.Under such circumstances, there are major problems in promoting the use of private English exams in individual exams at each university, and if nothing is done, it will cause greater confusion for examinees and high school education than last time. It is inevitable.At the "University Entrance Examination Council," which is a place for consideration for implementation, I strongly hope that the examination will be conducted from various perspectives rather than based on recommendations.
