Introduction to Japan's study abroad examination
First, the content of the exam
Japanese international students' exam is referred to as staying in the exam or EJU. The examination is divided into two parts, Japanese is the same subject, and liberal arts also includes liberal arts synthesis and liberal arts mathematics; Science is scientific synthesis, and science is mathematics. Liberal arts comprehensively involves politics, economy, history, geography and society. The content of liberal arts mathematics is basically the content of junior high school mathematics and senior one mathematics in China, and the difficulty is relatively low; Science mathematics is mainly high school mathematics, which is much more difficult than liberal arts mathematics, and there are some knowledge such as statistics and calculus that are not involved in high schools in some areas. Science synthesis is the form of physics, chemistry and biology, and some examination ranges are not involved in domestic high schools.
Second, the exam results.
Japanese: 400 points
Comprehensive liberal arts: 200 points
Liberal arts mathematics: 200 points
Science synthesis: physical chemistry and biology are two out of three, with a total score of 200 points 100.
Science mathematics: 200 points
It can be seen that Japanese scores account for a large proportion. If students' Japanese scores are low, it is easy to cause a total score gap, especially for liberal arts students. It is much more difficult to get high marks in Japanese than to get N 1 in Japanese proficiency test. Japanese test is divided into listening comprehension, reading comprehension, listening comprehension and narration, and the test time is 125 minutes (including 30 minutes of narration). Due to the scoring rules of Japanese foreign students' exams, the full score of each exam is not fixed. In the past, Japanese subjects got a perfect score of about 370. But there are many foreign words to remember in physics, chemistry and biological clock of science.
Third, the scope of the basic subject examination.
The examination for studying abroad in Japan is held twice a year, in the middle of June and 10 respectively.
Liberal arts subjects: Japanese, mathematics 1, comprehensive subjects;
Science subjects: Japanese, math, physics, chemistry, biology.
Physics, chemistry and biology are two of the three. Generally, you choose physics and chemistry, but depending on your major, you sometimes need biology. )
Economics, literature and psychology belong to liberal arts, while engineering, science, medicine and pharmacy belong to science. Regardless of arts and sciences, applying for domestic public universities generally requires English TOEFL scores. There is no specific score requirement for TOEFL scores, but the higher the score, the better to apply for a university.
Fourth, the importance of staying in the exam
At present, almost all public universities and more than half of private universities in Japan require foreign students to submit test scores as the basic test conditions when applying for undergraduate courses. In addition, if international students want to apply for government scholarships or tuition reduction in public universities in China after entering the university, whether they have taken the exam or not is also an important evaluation criterion.
V. Characteristics of the examination system
1. Because the "study abroad" is held separately from the national college entrance examination in Japan, and almost all Japan (except some majors) will have places to recruit foreign students, this ensures that China students can enter Japan for further study through channels other than Japanese students.
2. Although the current level of higher education in Japan is higher than that in China, the degree of competition for "staying in the exam" may not be as good as the national college entrance examination. Therefore, many outstanding China students are admitted to Japanese universities with higher comprehensive ranking than domestic universities through personal efforts.
3. Because there is no examination room in China, and well-known universities require students to take additional interviews in addition to their test scores, it is difficult for excellent China high school graduates to apply directly from China to enter excellent Japanese universities. Even if you have a good foundation in Japanese in China, you should first choose a language school as a transition, on the one hand, strengthen Japanese, on the other hand, make final preparations for taking the "study abroad exam".
Sixth, supplementary interviews in famous universities.
After students apply to their favorite universities according to their "staying in the exam" scores, almost all universities will arrange interviews for students who have been shortlisted in the primary election. Here, the Bailitianxia study abroad circle needs to remind students that for students who want to enter Japanese national universities such as Tokyo University and Kyoto University or want to study first-class business majors in the future, the English level at this time is very important, so students with such aspirations should strengthen their English study in advance. In addition, due to the lack of interview experience, China students are advised to make some preparations in advance as far as possible.
Extended reading: recommendation for studying in Japanese language schools
I. japanese language school in Qiantuo Valley
Japanese school, founded in 1975, is the earliest language school to cultivate Japanese for foreigners. Chito Valley japanese language school is close to Waseda University with convenient transportation. It is one of the only 20 "preparatory education curriculum schools" recognized by the Ministry of Education in Japan. Qian Tuogu also has a strong Japanese teaching ability. Their textbooks are all written by themselves, and they are qualified as language teachers. At the same time, Chiotogu is also the author of STBJ (equivalent to JLPT Japanese Grade Test). Qiantuogu, a school with strict management and high attendance requirements, is more suitable for students who like constrained learning.
Second, Humen Japanese School
Xiuman Japanese School was founded in 199 1, located in Takada Racecourse, Shinjuku District. Humen Japanese School is particularly well-known and has strong comprehensive strength. The school has three campuses, Tokyo, Osaka and Saga, all of which are super beautiful big cities. Humen School is an international school composed of students from 43 countries, including the United States, French, Canadian, China and Korean, 40% of whom are from China. The school has its own Japanese teacher training mechanism. And students with college entrance examination scores above 500 have tuition fee reduction.
Three. Waseda Language Institute
Waseda Language Institute is located in Tokyo, across the street from Waseda University, which is cheaper than other language schools. The courses of Waseda Language Institute are mainly divided into eight grades, including basic comprehensive Japanese 1-6, and major courses such as oral English, listening, culture, academic writing and business Japanese. The courses offered by Waseda Language Institute are also very interesting. For example, learning Japanese through Japanese animation, the world of Ghibli in Miyazaki Hayao, and Japanese songs: from nursery rhymes to songs are all school courses. The practice of the college is also very good. Teachers will take their classmates to do some interview tasks or practice oral Japanese in the street.
Extended reading: Pay attention to common sense when studying in Japan
1. Buy bicycles in Japan to prevent criminals from landing. It's similar to the license plate of a car, usually 500 yen. You just need to log in at the store where you buy bicycles. If you lose your bike, don't worry, you must go to the police station to register, because the bike is likely to be found back. And if you are towed away because of illegal parking, you can also find your information through the registration number for contact.
2. When riding a bike at night in Japan, be sure to turn on the lighting that comes with the car body. Night lighting is a traffic law. If the police see it, they will still be stopped for warning.
3. Some students live in Japanese-style old houses, and cockroaches are the most annoying thing in summer. Girls get scared when they see it. To deal with Japanese cockroaches, you can buy special cockroach spray in Japanese pharmacies. Generally, you can buy one in each room. After opening, leave the room and come back for ventilation in a few hours. You can clean it once a month to ensure that you won't see cockroaches again for a summer.
Some students like to keep small pets, of course, this must be allowed by the landlord and they have plenty of time. It's expensive to buy pets in Japan, but if you have time, you can go to a special pet shop in Japan. There is a bulletin board at the door, which records some adoption advertisements. You can adopt small pets for free after meeting.
In Japan, if you plan to travel to neighboring cities for a short time at the weekend, it will be expensive to find a place to live, but there are no friends to live with. If you stay in karaoke all night, you can't rest and wash. In Japan, there are many 24-hour Internet cafes. You can sleep for one night and take a bath for more than 1000 yen. Everyone is a partition, you can watch DVD, play computer, watch cartoons and have free drinks.
6. Unlike China, Japan has second-hand clothing stores. These clothes are sold by customers with clothes they have worn or can't wear, and are called antiques in Japan. In Japan, antique shops ask guests to clean clothes when they bring them for sale, and then simply clean them through employees. But these cleanings are superficial, and many people don't care if they buy them directly and try them on. They just bought them and cleaned them before wearing them.
Extended reading: common sense of studying in Japan
First, the earthquake self-protection knowledge
In Japan, it is often not public security that scares people, but earthquakes. 3 1 1 It's been a long time since the earthquake, and now there are fewer minor earthquakes than then, but I suggest you prepare mentally and intellectually.
Second, be careful when dating and making friends.
Everyone must know that the Jiangge incident that made many people sigh last year was also caused by love. To put it bluntly, going abroad is also a big reshuffle of interpersonal relationships. The people you meet are not necessarily similar to your family background and excellent, just like high school and college. Therefore, when you are in love and making friends, it is very important to be vigilant. Don't trust others easily and give your trust to time.
Third, pay attention to abide by laws and regulations.
Many times purchasing is actually illegal, please think twice. The danger of purchasing is that it is difficult for individuals to judge where the line is illegal or not. Many people buy things for their friends' parents at first, and then their friends come to buy them, and they gradually grow bigger before they know it.
Strictly speaking, as long as it is for profit, it belongs to trade activities, and foreign students can't engage in it. In the Chinese circle, there are also many cases where people are arrested or sent back by friends because of purchasing, which is really not worth the candle.
Fourth, try to keep the contact information unblocked.
This is not so much to protect your own safety as to reassure your parents. In fact, it often happens in the circle of international students that parents can't contact their children for hours, so they are anxious to forward things about finding someone, which makes them fidgety. The next day, it was discovered that the child's mobile phone was out of power.
Parents' feelings are very understandable. You should talk to your parents. Sometimes I can't get in touch for a day or so. After this time limit, ask them to contact some of your friends and school. Make a set of emergency contact rules in advance and give them some necessary contact information!
