Second Day of the National Center Test

• 1/29, 30

• Oh, so if I request it, I can take it here?

  • No…?
  • I don’t understand.

• If possible, this is definitely better.

• The second day of the National University Entrance Examination begins, with 2,500 people as the target: Asahi Shimbun Digital

  • A male third-year student at a private high school in Osaka City, who will take the exam at Osaka University in Suita City, participated in the All Japan Volleyball High School Championship (“Spring High Volleyball”) in Tokyo until earlier this month as a representative of the prefecture. He chose the second day because he wanted to secure an additional two weeks of study time. He said he was honestly surprised by the small number of examinees, but for him, it was a meaningful and necessary time to prepare. His first choice is the Physical Education Department at Tsukuba University. He wants to become an analyst supporting athletes. He said, “It was tough to practice and study with restrictions due to COVID-19, but I’m grateful for having more opportunities to take the exam than usual.” (Yuu Kamata, Tomomi Abe, and Sazako Hanafusa)

  • If this is an option, I’m also in favor of it.

  • The second day was established as a special measure to secure study time for examinees, considering the approximately three months of school closure due to the new coronavirus. The exam date is two weeks after the “first” day, and examinees can choose either the “first” or “second” day. However, the “second” day is primarily for current students, limited to those whose school principals have recognized their “academic delays.” The choice between the “first” and “second” days is made at the time of application, and changes after that are not allowed. The makeup exam for the “first” day is held on the same day as the “second” day, and the makeup exam for the “second” day is conducted as a “special makeup exam” on February 13th and 14th. The same applies to the retest.

  • Oh, either way, it’s already too late.
    • It seems like you had to decide at the time of application.
    • What if you’re sick? Is it different then?
