First, the Japanese study abroad exam
1. What is the exam for studying abroad in Japan?
Simply put, it is a new examination form after the reform of Japanese proficiency test and self-funded international students' unified examination. Nowadays, many schools take this exam as the evaluation benchmark of the entrance examination for international students.
2. Test questions and requirements
The examination time is 120 minutes, and the main questions are: "description (that is, composition)", "listening and reading" and "reading". In terms of questions, it is basically the same as the Japanese proficiency test, but the test requires students' reaction ability, thinking ability and writing ability.
3. Pay attention to the Japanese study abroad exam
Because the writing part of the study abroad exam has high requirements for students, it is necessary to train for this part. Although most questions are easy, you must make your point clear. This requires more practice to sum up your views in a short time. And because time is limited, so don't pursue the accuracy of grammar and Chinese characters too much, but you must pay attention to the problem of words, because words less than 75%(300 words) will not be graded.
Second, the Japanese proficiency test
1. What is the Japanese proficiency test?
Japanese Proficiency Test (JLPT) is a relatively perfect test evaluation system established by Japan Foundation for International Exchange and Japan International Education Support Association in 1984, and implemented in relevant countries and regions in the same year.
2. Test questions and requirements
The Japanese proficiency test is divided into five grades: N 1-N5. Where N 1 is the highest grade, with full score 180 and qualified score 100. Among them, the questions are divided into language knowledge (words, vocabulary, grammar), reading and listening. 60 points for each part, and any part below 19 is unqualified. Therefore, it is somewhat unfavorable for students who are partial to the subject.
3. How to prepare for the Japanese proficiency test
Before preparing for the Japanese proficiency test, you should first know which level you should take. If the student is a liberal arts student, it is recommended to get a score of N 1 If the students are science and engineering students, try to get N2 score (90 points are qualified).
4. How to prepare for the Japanese proficiency test?
If you are a Japanese major, it should not be difficult to prepare. Just do some real questions and special exercises according to the school curriculum.
If you are a student with no Japanese foundation and your goal is N 1, then it is recommended that you prepare for studying abroad for at least one year. First of all, you can teach yourself some Japanese textbooks and lay a good foundation. Then learn N2 grammar first, and master some N2 grammar skillfully before learning N 1 grammar. It should also be noted that you must do more real questions, and also record the questions you often make mistakes in real questions, and then memorize them repeatedly, because the knowledge points of Japanese proficiency tests generally will not change.
Third, the TOEFL test
1. What is TOEFL?
TOEFL is an English proficiency test organized by educational testing service (ETS). Its full name is "English proficiency test for non-native English speakers". Because most Japanese schools pay more attention to English ability, TOEFL is used as a way to test the English ability of foreign students. Similarly, there are TOEIC exams. But most Japanese universities pay more attention to TOEFL scores, so it is better to study in Japan with TOEFL scores.
2. TOEFL questions and requirements
The TOEFL test consists of listening, reading and speaking. Among them, oral English is the most difficult for China students. So be sure to practice more. There is actually no official requirement for TOEFL scores in Japan. But generally good universities require students to submit TOEFL scores of 80 or above. Of course, the higher the TOEFL score, the better ~
3. How to prepare for the TOEFL test?
In view of the difficulty of TOEFL, students are advised to enroll in TOEFL classes systematically. At the same time, if oral English is weak, foreign students suggest that in addition to memorizing words, what you need to do is to recite the whole paragraph of English in large numbers at ordinary times to ensure that you will not be nervous during the exam and speak fluent oral English with standard pronunciation.
Fourth, the college entrance examination
1. What is the college entrance examination?
The entrance examination for big universities is similar to the entrance examination for graduate students in our country, but the difference is that the entrance examination for graduate students in our country is a unified recruitment method, while the entrance examination for big universities in Japan is given by schools alone, so every school, every research department and even every major is different.
2. College entrance examination questions and requirements
As I said just now, every major exam is different. But generally speaking, the exam will be divided into written test and interview. The written test is divided into professional course test and foreign language test. Professional course examination is generally a research topic on a test paper, and students choose 3-5 questions to answer according to their own research expertise.
Foreign language tests are generally English tests, and many Japanese universities recognize TOEFL and TOEFL scores, which means that if you get TOEFL and TOEFL scores, you can be exempted from English tests.
The interview is mainly about your written test paper and research plan. The professor will form an interview review meeting to examine your research prospects and research plans.
3. How to prepare for the college entrance examination
Before taking this exam, you should be a graduate student for a period of time (not like a graduate student in China, but a bit like a preparatory student). At this time, you can ask your tutor to recommend some reference books, which are the focus of the college entrance examination review. Some students can easily pass the exam after reading the books recommended by their teachers for seven or eight times.
In addition to the books recommended by the tutor, there is also the need to do real questions. The real questions are of great reference significance to the exam.
