The Common Test for University Admissions has finally been held.A lot of information has already been sent about the difference in questioning tendency and difficulty level from the conventional National Center Test for University Admissions, so here we will consider the points to note when changing the application school after self-scoring.From this entrance examination, due to the reform of high school connection, it is said that among the three elements of academic ability, "attitude to learn in collaboration with various people with independence" (hereinafter, independence, etc.) must be evaluated by general selection. I am.In connection with this, many universities newly impose documents (such as a statement of reason for aspiration) and interviews created by the applicant himself / herself.When changing the school of application, I would like to be careful not to overlook these requirements other than the academic test.

 

Application documents to be confirmed in addition to the expected borderline

 I think that many examinees participate in both Kawaijuku's common test research and Sundai / Benesse Datanet.The expected borderline (Kawai Juku) and pass possibility criteria (Sundai / Benesse) based on self-scoring are open to the public from the afternoon of January XNUMX (Wednesday).Candidates aiming to become a national or public university will use the Banzai System and Internet Senta-kun to prepare for the second examination application from January XNUMX (Monday) to February XNUMX (Friday). You will be there.

 In some cases, you may not get the score you want in the common test, and you may have to consider changing from the originally planned application school to another university.At such times, the Banzai system and Internet Senta-kun are useful.If you enter the test subject and score, complicated calculations such as score allocation will be performed automatically, and the application school that meets the conditions will be displayed.

 The university displayed in this way may be a university that some students did not think about at first.In that case, it is seen every year that the deadline for the application period is pushed and the application is made without knowing what kind of university the application school is.There are some maladaptation problems that occur after enrollment, but considering the students' desire to pass the university, we cannot deny all of them.However, in this year's case, when changing the application school from the original schedule, it is necessary to pay attention to the application documents for evaluation of independence.

Unlike entrance examination subjects, evaluation methods such as independence vary from university to university.

 Due to the reform of high school connection, independence will be evaluated even in general selection, and each university will evaluate in various ways.A typical example is the imposition of a new interview.However, although major private universities impose a description and input of activities during high school at the time of application, in most cases the entrance exam will not be scored, so students do not have to worry too much.This point is explained in the column below.

Preparations for "independence, etc." of the 2021 entrance examination survey will be completed now, essential for general selection applications

 The problem for examinees is national and public universities.Many national and public universities are working on the evaluation of independence, etc., in response to the policy of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.Therefore, we are adding or changing entrance examination subjects such as interviews, essays, and general questions.In this way, if you add or change an entrance examination subject, it is easy to see, so it is rare to overlook it, but if it is not an entrance examination subject such as a statement of reason for aspiration and it is not scored, it is easy to overlook it.

 As mentioned above, most private universities only need to describe their experience of school activities, so if you make one sentence, you can reuse it even if you apply for it at the same time.However, in the case of a statement of reason for aspiration, it is necessary to describe to some extent the reason why you came to aspire.As expected, it is not possible to write "because it was displayed by the Byzai system", so you need to look at the website of the university you are applying for.

 In addition to the reason for aspiration, activity reports, self-reports, self-recommendations, self-assessments, study plans, achievement reports, etc. vary depending on the university, so if you change the application school, prepare in advance. It may not be possible to divert the text as it is.If it is an entrance examination subject, it is a little more difficult to take measures than the science and engineering system is patterned as "English and mathematics".
