This year's First National Examination was on January 20th for the first day and January 21st for the second day.
Over the weekend, the first day was for liberal arts, and the second day was for science.
The First National Examination in late January, followed by private Universities completing their entrance examinations before National University Corporation in February.
Examinations scheduled at this time were also a test for candidates from different regions.
Those in Tokyo didn't need to worry; there was no need to worry about the impact of sudden snow. However, in other places, there would always be some impact from snowfall each year, causing delays in entering the hall on the day.
The two days of examination time felt long for the candidates, but the results would come out quickly.
"This year's First Examination, English and Math weren't very difficult. If Furuhashi Fumino takes the science subjects, she should pass."
After school on Monday, the people from Aomine Cram School gathered to look at this year's First National Examination questions.
"Eh, I can't do it, can I?"
Furuhashi Fumino, who was mentioned by Harumi Junko, quickly shook her head. She wasn't confident enough to be 100% sure of passing.
For Furuhashi Fumino, this year's First National Examination liberal arts questions were just so-so; she could get high scores by taking them casually. But conversely, science and math would give her a headache for a while.
"Furuhashi Fumino, for next year's First Unified Examination, aim for a score rate of over 85% for liberal arts, and if you can get a score rate of 60% for science, you can use your unified examination results to apply to your first-choice University. You need to have confidence."
For Furuhashi Fumino to get into a good University's Astronomy Department, the key point was her science results.
Some private Universities could be entered just by looking at the unified examination results, but most of them were just average level.
Better private Universities still placed great importance on their own entrance examinations.
Of course, if the First Unified Examination results were really good, these unified examination results would also be very useful for many private Universities.
But the key point was, if the total score was only propped up by liberal arts, it would still be a bit difficult.
To put it simply, applying to University still required strategy, whether it was taking a roundabout approach or going straight in, depending on Furuhashi Fumino's specific situation.
After analyzing Furuhashi Fumino's situation, Harumi Junko and Mr. Tsubota had thought of many ways to send Furuhashi Fumino to the Astronomy Department.
They selected many private Universities where Furuhashi Fumino had hope.
But whether it would work out ultimately depended on how far Furuhashi Fumino could go.
"Next is Aki Tomoya. If you submit your application form to Tokyo University normally, to pass the line, the score rate should ideally be maintained at over 80%. For Science 3, the score rate for the First Examination should ideally be over 90%."
Applying to a National University Corporation wasn't just a matter of filling out the application.
First, the First Examination was the threshold. Then, after the scores came out, you would submit an application to your desired National University Corporation to apply to participate.
Finally, whether you could participate in the second stage of the National University Corporation examination depended on the score line.
And being able to participate in the second stage of the National University Corporation examination didn't mean you succeeded; it just meant you had the qualification to compete.
Those who could enter the second stage of top National University Corporation were basically elites among students. The real competition began in the second stage of the National University Corporation examination.
Of course, elites often chose a good private University as a backup.
At the same time, the number of repeat candidates like "Ronin" was not small every year.
"Next year will be a tough battle. What Harumi Sensei lost, I will help you get back."
Aki Tomoya said half-seriously, half-jokingly.
The Tokyo University failed student at the Academy, how could she not hope that her students could make up for her regrets.
Next year's First Examination was a fight for the ticket to enter the second stage competition.
Although a large number of people would be eliminated in the First Examination, honestly, those were not the real competitors. The main competitors were people from Kaisei in Arakawa, and those from Nada High School.
"But speaking of which, Miki and the others, don't be nervous either, and don't worry about the results of the First Examination. Before the results come out, the results of the First Examination should not be as bad as you think, and the key point is the second stage. Adjust your condition!"
At the Academy, there were also three students who were graduating candidates this year. After the First Examination, February would be the final second stage campus examination.
Mr. Tsubota walked over at this time, rubbing his nose bridge. He said, "Miki, don't push yourselves too hard these few days. Everyone else, cheer up, it will be your turn next year."
The first stage is over. Before the results come out, there's no need to worry too much. And if it's not a National University Corporation, the unified test score is just for reference.
In the final stage, Mr. Tsubota didn't assign them too many tasks, but slowly adjusted their mindset.
Everyone dispersed back to their seats and began their review for the day.
"A total score rate of over eighty percent, is this worthy of being called Tokyo University?"
Kudo Sayaka still vividly remembered the words Harumi Junko had reminded Aki Tomoya of before.
Getting a ticket to the second stage of Tokyo University was not an easy task in itself, let alone the even more intense competition in the second stage.
"Do you want to go?"
Aki Tomoya turned his head and asked Kudo Sayaka.
Kudo Sayaka shook her head gently and smiled, "If I can get into Keio, my life will be complete!"
Getting into a top private University like Keio University is already very good. Kudo Sayaka's wish cannot be said to be small; seriously speaking, it's already a very ambitious goal.
Keio University's status in Japan's society is also very prominent.
There was nothing wrong with her saying her life was complete.
"It's only half complete. There are still a lot of troublesome things waiting for you afterwards, prestigious student!"
"We'll talk about things when they happen. If we don't hurry up, the gap will widen!"
After the first stage ended, Kudo Sayaka also felt that there wasn't much time left.
This was the last year; next year it would be their turn.
Kudo Sayaka's current focus was on the first mock exam two months later.
Kudo Sayaka was like Aki Tomoya; one was the peak of private universities, the other the peak of National universities.
And their biggest competitor was time.
Compared to those who started preparing from junior high or even elementary school, the two of them, who also started preparing in the second year of high school, had to put in more effort than ordinary people in these two years.
"Full of drive, but don't push yourself too hard. Your dark circles are a bit heavy."
Aki Tomoya sighed, pointing out Kudo Sayaka's increasingly obvious dark circles.
Kudo Sayaka replied indifferently, "You're about the same!"
She pointed below Aki Tomoya's glasses.
Although not obvious, if one looked closely, they could still see the faint presence of dark circles.
The biggest difference between Aki Tomoya and Kudo Sayaka was probably that the former was more regular.
"You're really pushing yourself now!"
He looked at Kudo Sayaka admiringly.
