How to face the upcoming university entrance exams!
2023March 12 -
This is KO-HEI, an online cram school mathematics and physics lecturer for university entrance examinations.
Soon, the entrance exams for the second semester of national universities will be over, and the entrance exams for 2023 will come to an end.
"Future university entrance exams will be tougher"
Here, I would like to give advice from the perspective of a leader, specializing in university entrance examinations.
The reduction of the general selection quota for private universities, which originally began with the reduction of the quota in Tokyo's 23 wards, has since become difficult to pass the "general selection entrance examination" as a countermeasure against the decrease in students due to the declining birthrate.
In reality, it is said that about 60% of private universities secure students by recommendation admission by the end of the year."Nearly half of Sophia is recommended for admission, and the general selection slot at the beginning of the year is decreasing"https://jbpress.ismedia.jp More
I think that if it is an unpopular university, there is no way to manage it, but it seems that this situation is the case even at popular universities, including Saikei.
If so,"How difficult it is to enter a difficult university in the general selection entrance examination?"I understand.
Still, if you want to take on the "General Selection Exam", you need to be very prepared and take measures early.
Furthermore, it started in 2021The "common test" has raised the "passing barrier" even higher.
The "Common Test" not only tests your logical thinking ability, but also questions that ask questions about your interest and interest in all fields of daily life, from objective thinking to observation skills, and the changes of the times.
In the previous "center exam", students with sharp intuition such as "I can see the intention of the questioner" and "I can read the answer in general" and students who are accustomed to the mark sheet can somehow get a certain number of points with technique, but the common test is no longer such a sweet thing at all.
In this situation, what kind of study is important if you are taking on the university entrance exam with the "general selection exam"?
In conclusion
"Studying to understand mathematics from the "fundamentals" and expand your thinking in a "panorama" way"is required.
Understanding from the basics means learning to "solve problems using all the underlying formulas"."Root"What does it mean to understand fromLearning that even creates the formula that is the basis of itAre.
In other words, it is necessary to study to understand "what the formula means" and deepen your understanding to the extent that you can create it yourself even if you forget the formula.
It's a little off, but many students who have taken the junior high school entrance exam are good at learning to understand this "fundamentals".
This is because children who have not learned equations have been trained to solve without using formulas at all, such as solving problems that look like sequences only using area diagrams and line diagrams, and thinking about problems that look like sequences only with regularity.
In the application problems of junior high school entrance examination materials, there are problems that can solve even the floor difference sequence learned in high school mathematics II.B just by arranging numbers.
When these children learn the Σ of the sequence of floor differences in high school, they learn the meaning of the sequence in elementary school by diagrams, so they can understand the "meaning of the formula" without having to memorize the formula of Σ in high school class.
There are pros and cons to the junior high school entrance examination, but what does it mean to understand at least from the "roots"? It can be said that I have worn it naturally.
Unfortunately, in Japan's elementary and junior high schools, it is far from the study method at the junior high school entrance examination level, and the practice of memorizing and using formulas rather than the meaning of textbook formulas has become a method of learning mathematics.
It can be said that it is a natural result that even if you learn to understand the "fundamentals" from high school for nine years of elementary and junior high school, you will not be able to understand and mature even if you are said to be studying to understand the "fundamentals".
However, in order to pass the narrow gate of the "general selection examination for difficult universities", and to pass the common test and pass the national and private (with the common test) difficult university,In the future, this "fundamental" learning method is an essential conditionIt will be.
So, what kind of study method is necessary to "understand this "fundamentals"?
It is linked to "expanding panoramic thinking" described later, but instead of simply memorizing the formulas written in each unit, first of all,Carefully understand how the formula was ledThat's it.
By doing this, your thinking ability to think about mathematics should improve considerably.
Next, let's explain about "expanding panoramic thinking".
It has become a habit for most high school students to learn the technique of the solution pattern, as most high school students say, "This problem is the solution of this A pattern" or "This problem is the solution to the B pattern."
Moreover, since we are learning each solution pattern independently, we cannot say that we can solve various solutions together.
What I mean is that the sequence is the solution of the sequence, the differential is the solution of the differentiation, and the integration is the solution of the integral.
The more enthusiastic the student is, the more he will concentrate on studying the unit, so the more he learns, the more he will stick to the unit and somehow reach the point of "solving mathematics by memory".
"Memorizing mathematics" does not require time to think, and you are satisfied with the "feeling of being able to do it" at first glance.
In this way, there are many patterns in which "thinking mathematics" transitions to "mathematics to remember".
This is enough for regular exams, but in the entrance exam, various fields are intertwined, so it is not worth it at all.
It can be said that most students can get some points on school exams, but do not get them at all when it comes to mock exams.
In the first placeMathematics is not a subject to memorize。
Mathematics (and physics as well) isVisualize the phenomena that mathematical formulas mean, and logically grasp the phenomena represented by graphs and figures."Thinking" SubjectIt is.
One figure, one formula, the meaning of one formula, over a day, "Why is that so?", "Isn't there a more interesting way to solve it?", "What kind of answer can I get if I solve it like this?" It is important to learn to "think" by competing with each other from all directions.
It can also be said that mathematics is interesting in the process of exploring and leading from various directions.
In this way, we look at a problem from all directions and try to link the solutions we have learned in various unitsStudy method to acquire "panoramic thinking"It is a study method that can break through the "Difficult University General Selection Examination", which is a narrow gate in the future.
I also feel that this "panoramic thinking" is the original joy of mathematics and "true learning".
On the other hand, "recommended admission" has been relaxed, and many students can improve their high school grades and aim for the recommendation slot.
However, the recommendation quota varies depending on the high school, and if you are aiming for the recommendation slot of your desired university.You must be thinking about "which high school to enter" from the time of the high school entrance exam.
After entering high school, there was no recommendation quota for the university I wanted to apply to! As if nothing else, it is necessary to choose a high school with an eye on the university even before entering high school.
In other words, he said that he was already thinking about going to college from junior high schoolThe need to choose a high school with a set of "high school entrance exam university entrance fee"came out.
Will you study hard in high school and take on the "General Selection Exam"?
Do you want to go to a high school with a recommendation quota for the university of your choice for "recommended admission"?
It is an era in which exams and study methods are tested with an eye on 2~3 years ahead from junior high school.
