Several exams related to studying in Japan
(1) Japan International Student Examination (EJU)
First of all, the most important thing in the college entrance examination is to study abroad. It is a stepping stone to enter a university, and all good universities should refer to its scores. Study abroad exam ***3 subjects: liberal arts Japanese, mathematics 1, liberal arts comprehensive. Science tests Japanese, Mathematics II and Science Synthesis.
Liberal arts mathematics 1 is relatively simple, and the comprehensive subjects involve politics, economy, Japanese history, world history, Japanese geography and world geography. Mathematics 2 of science is relatively difficult, and there are many knowledge such as calculus and statistics that have not been learned in domestic high schools. Science synthesis is to choose 2 subjects from 3 subjects of physical chemistry and biology, and each subject has something that has not been learned in domestic high schools, so it is necessary to study by yourself here.
In addition, the professional words such as "antibody" in these scientific contents are all foreign words, and it takes a long time to remember these words.
In Japanese, science students pay more attention to their achievements in mathematics and science, while liberal arts attach great importance to their achievements in Japanese. Moreover, the difficulty of Japanese is not as simple as the Japanese proficiency test. After the reform of 20 10, the specific form is: write a 500-word essay for 30 minutes, then read 25 questions for 40 minutes, read short articles and long articles, and finally listen to 65,400 and 55 minutes.
Without good practice, the reading part can't be completed within the specified time. Many students will complain about the lack of time after the exam. The content of listening is getting more and more difficult year by year, and the content is also intercepted from the content of college classes, involving politics, economy, astronomy, geography, biology, physics, chemistry and other aspects. There are also many professional words in vocabulary, which cannot be understood without good accumulation, and understanding needs many considerations, and it is not as easy to know the result as the first level.
Therefore, all those who pass the international students' examination will feel that listening to Japanese is too simple, which is equivalent to listening to beginners. Another key point is that there is no rest for two hours in this exam. How to keep a clear head in the last 55 minutes of listening is the most critical. Most candidates lose a lot of points because of inattention. Scores: 400 in Japanese, 200 in math and 200 out of 800.
The grading standard of staying in the exam is not the same as that of the domestic exam, and each question has a fixed score. Each question is given a variable score according to the candidate's answer. This also leads to the fact that the perfect score of international students who don't take the exam every time will never be the standard perfect score. Take the two international students' exams on 20 10 this year, the actual full mark in Japanese is 369, the actual full mark in mathematics is 186, and the comprehensive score is 198. That is to say, if you get all the answers right at once, you can only get so many points.
Some people say it's a little unfair. Wouldn't it be a waste if you could do a difficult problem that no one can do? This is true in terms of scores, but it is also fair to most people. If someone guesses the right question, won't that person make money? After all, the difference between studying abroad and the college entrance examination is not a selective examination, but a horizontal examination, not to make everyone's scores different, but to evaluate the true level of this candidate from the answers given by each candidate. Personally, I think the score of studying abroad exam is very important. If the score is high, it will have a great advantage over the on-campus exam.
(2) TOEFL or TOEFL test
Another exam as important as studying abroad is TOEFL and English TOEFL. Needless to say, TOEFL itself. In Japan, there are about 6 to 8 new TOEFL IBT exams every month, and it is easier for Japan to register than China. You can take the exam after coming to Japan.
Toe test is also a very important English test in Japan. Many universities can use toeic scores instead of TOEFL, because toeic is much simpler and scores are much more beautiful, so people are more inclined to take toeic exams. Another thing to say is that many people think that they can give up English when they come to Japan. In fact, this idea is all wet.
Because good universities need TOEFL English scores, and some schools can submit TOEFL English scores. If your English score doesn't reach a certain score, you can't pass the exam even if your score is higher. This score will be introduced later. Another point is that the Japanese are also very "worshipping foreigners and obsessing over foreigners", and they worship people with good English very much. They will envy you for speaking standard English, not their natural spoken English with pronunciation problems.
(3) On-campus examination
The last important exam is the internal exam and interview. This exam is enough to make all your previous study abroad exams and TOEFL scores go down the drain, and it is enough to make up for the lack of study abroad exams and TOEFL scores.
In the on-campus examination, most of the liberal arts subjects are Japanese composition, mathematics and written Japanese, while science subjects are Japanese composition, mathematics, physical chemistry and biology. Moreover, the difficulty of the on-campus exam will not be as easy as studying abroad. The on-campus exams in some good universities are more difficult than the last question in the college entrance examination.
As for the interview, the professor of the department under examination will interview in person, and the question will be related to the reason why you came to Japan and the professional knowledge of your chosen major. You should also pay attention to proper manners, and the interview is also a part that must be carefully prepared. After all, the interview is determined by people's subjective will. If you give the professor a very good feeling, it may bring you back to life. On the contrary, even if your score is higher, in case of your actions, words and deeds and answers,
