Characteristic Test
D → d

Calculating Total Score S

S = a×f + b×g
(+ d×i)

※ f, g, i represent ratios

Ratio Examples (f : g : i)

Example 1

Emphasizes middle school grades, no characteristic test

8 : 2 : 0

Example 2

Emphasizes academic test, no characteristic test

3 : 7 : 0

Example 3

3 : 7 : 4

Variable Definitions

  • f ... Ratio for middle school grades
  • g ... Ratio for academic test
  • i ... Ratio for characteristic test score

② How Successful Candidates Are Determined

After examinations, each school determines successful candidates through First Selection and Second Selection in that order.

Select up to 90% of recruitment capacity

First Selection
Select up to 90% of recruitment capacity in descending order of total score S.

Select remaining capacity

Second Selection
Conducted for the remaining capacity not filled in the First Selection. Grade evaluation a from school records is not used here.

Changes in Evaluation Method

  • Uses "Attitude Toward Proactive Learning" from school records.
  • Convert Evaluation A = 3 points, Evaluation B = 2 points, Evaluation C = 1 point, and convert the total (C) to a 100-point scale (c).
  • Based on the ratios (g,h, and i for schools with characteristic tests) determined by each school, S is recalculated, and selection is made up to the recruitment capacity.

Recalculation for Second Selection

S = b×g + c×h
(+ d×i)

b: Academic test, c: Proactive learning attitude, d: Characteristic test
