The decrease in the average score of this year's Common Test for University Admissions (hereinafter referred to as the Common Test) had a huge impact on the overall university entrance exams.Mathematics and science are often down in subjects / subjects, but mathematics is an important subject for liberal arts students when taking an examination at a national or public university or a difficult private university.Therefore, as a result, it has affected many examinees.The reason for the average score down is, of course, the difficulty of the problem.The change from the National Center Test for University Admissions to a common test has had an impact on the change in the question format.
Significant reduction in average score due to difficulty of problems
Looking at the average score down of the common test by subject / subject, from the average score of the previous year, Mathematics I / A is -19.7 points, Mathematics II / B is -16.9 points, Chemistry-10.0 points, Biology-23.8 points, Japanese history- It is 11 points.Candidates will study based on the average score of the previous year.Therefore, a minus of 5 points from the target score will cause considerable damage.The reason the average score went down was because the problem became more difficult.Looking at the analysis articles of each prep school company, it is analyzed that the problem is becoming more difficult for the subjects whose average score is down.
The details are explained in detail in the analysis articles of each company, so I would like you to take a look there, but for example, in mathematics, many new problems are seen and the examinees are confused because they make a solution policy. In addition to the point that seems to have been, it has been pointed out that the lengthening of the question sentence took time just to read and understand the question, and the answer time was not enough.In addition, in geography and science, multiple materials (graphs, photographs, figures, etc.) are presented, and the information necessary to solve the problem is read from them, which is a feature of the common test. There was also a problem with the combination of.In addition, there were also linked questions in which the answer to the next question changed depending on the answer to the first question.

The amount of problem sentences increases because the learning scene is set.
In addition to making the questions more difficult, the common test has increased the amount of question sentences, and it looks like a reading comprehension test, which seems to be the reason why the answering time is wasted.The National Center for University Entrance Examinations publishes the question creation policy on its homepage, which states that it is "setting the scene of the question based on'how to learn'".Then, "In consideration of the message of class improvement toward the realization of" independent, interactive and deep learning "in high school, we found problems in the scenes where students learn in class, social life and daily life. Emphasis is placed on setting the scene of the problem in consideration of the learning process, such as the scene of planning a solution and the scene of considering based on materials and data. "
In other words, we set up a scene where the teacher and the student have a conversation, such as during class, and make it a problem statement.Alternatively, there are many cases where conversations between students are problematic sentences as part of the learning process.This was seen from the pretest stage, but it is a format in which questions are embedded in the conversation between Taro and Hanako, and is commonly called the "Taro Hanako problem".I'm a little wondering if such conversations are really taking place every time in high school classes, but students have no choice but to accept them.It is in line with the above-mentioned question policy of "message of lesson improvement", but is it appropriate to use the national common test as a tool for lesson improvement?In addition, the setting of social life and daily life scenes can be seen in mathematics, and in mathematics I and A, questions such as the angle to look up at the mountaintop are asked while looking at the map at the campsite.

The common test was standard, but ...
The format of the common test questions has changed, but what about the entrance exam questions at private universities?If you know that you can't escape the scrutiny of unstudy, it seems that there is almost no change so far.Even if you look at the entrance exam questions of a university with a large number of examinees that each prep school analyzes the entrance exam questions, you can not see the "Taro-san Hanako-san problem" and the problem sentences of the roundabout scene setting.As a matter of fact, these problems take a lot of time and effort to ask, so I think the reality is that you can't make them.In case of misunderstanding, to explain a little more, it is correct to say that it is not that the questioning ability of a private university is insufficient, but that the number of questions is large, so it is difficult to handle.In the general selection of private universities, if there are multiple entrance examination schedules, even if there are only a few, about XNUMX to XNUMX questions will be prepared for each subject.It is too expensive to ask a question sentence of elaborate scene setting in all of them.
However, the questions of the common primary exam and the National Center Test for University Admissions have also affected the entrance exam questions of private universities.Since the questions of the common test could be said to be the standard for entrance exam questions, there were many cases where the question difficulty level of mid-sized private universities was also asked with the goal of the center exam.For this reason, in the past, in the entrance examination guides of each university, words such as "The difficulty level of the entrance examination questions of our university is the same level as that of the center examination" and "The measures for the center examination are the measures for the entrance examination of our university" were often seen. rice field.However, from now on, if you simply say "the same level and the same tendency as the common test", the examinees may hesitate to apply.The question format of the common test is so different from the past, and it is hard to say that it is a standard.
Until now, examinees aiming for a difficult national university have been studying for the exam with two measures, a common test measure and a secondary test (individual test) measure, and in some cases, a three-piece set with the measures of a difficult private university. There was also a case.However, from now on, even if you are a private university applicant in an urban area, if you want to take the general selection, you will need to study for the common test and the individual test.Alternatively, you may take the common test method only, or the general method only (in that case, the total number of applicants for private universities will decrease).Changes in the question format and question difficulty of the common test affect all entrance exams.In that respect, it's still standard.
