Japan's university entrance exams are undergoing significant changes, with the introduction of a new common test in 2021. The country's high academic achievement society and intense competition for university entrance have led to a system where academic background is highly valued. Despite the increasing number of university students, the number of new entrants has remained relatively stable at around 630,000 per year, with a high competition ratio of 9.4 times for private universities and 4 times for national universities. The new common test aims to evaluate not only knowledge and skills but also thinking, judgment, and expression abilities. The university entrance exam system has undergone several changes since the post-war period, with a focus on public and fair selection. The current system includes general selection, school recommendation-type selection, and comprehensive selection, with varying emphasis on different types of exams and evaluations.
