  • Private universities, whose student bodies account for more than 70 percent of all Japanese college students
  • f applicants are only interested in private universities, there is no need for them to take the center test.
  • This year, 487 private universities are using the center test standardized exams, a record number
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Some institutions also accept students with special talents, including sports or arts.
  • Private schools charge about ¥30,000 to ¥35,000 for each department to which a student applies, according to Obunsha Co.'s Web site Pass Navi, which provides information on college entrance exams.
  • Because there is no limit to how many private schools and their departments students can apply to, the cost varies depending on the applicant. A survey by the Tokyo Federation of Private University Faculty and Staff Unions showed that among nearly 4,300 private university students polled in May 2007, the average amount spent on exam-related expenses came to ¥231,900. This included transportation and hotel accommodations.
  • A poll released in August by the Promotion and Mutual Aid Corporation for Private Schools of Japan showed that 47 percent of 565 private universities suffered applicant shortages and did not meet their admissions targets in 2008.

testing assessment definitions

shared by Michael Stout on 30 Jul 09 - Snapshot
  • Norming includes an assessment that raters must pass before using the rubric to score student work. Raters need to
    independently evaluate similar performances with very similar scores. When raters disagree, open discussions between
    raters can clarify the scoring criteria and performance standards, while providing opportunities to practice applying
    the rubric to work of various levels.

testing

shared by Michael Stout on 30 Jul 09 - Snapshot
  • It was agreed that personnel who rate speaking and writing tests must be well-trained and have regular opportunities for refresher training. These tests require considerable judgment, so raters need to be normed and re-normed periodically to ensure they adhere to standards.
