The advantage and difficulty of choosing Japanese for the college entrance examination is relatively small; the disadvantage is that you cannot apply for some military academies.
1. The benefits of taking the college entrance examination in Japanese.
The difficulty is relatively small. The Japanese language test for the College Entrance Examination adopts a unified nationwide test paper, and the question types are relatively single. Except for the essay, all other questions are objective. The listening part is only equivalent to the level of Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 4 N4, which is relatively easy. As long as the basic skills are learned well, many students have successfully scored full marks in it.
In addition to propositions, in terms of vocabulary requirements in the college entrance examination syllabus, Japanese also beats English, which requires about 3,500 vocabulary words, with a figure of about 2,000. This is probably the best news for students who struggle to memorize English words.
On the other hand, in terms of the linguistic characteristics of Japanese itself, Chinese characters are an important part of it. There are 47.5% of Chinese characters in Japanese. This further reduces the burden of words on our candidates. The English letters may not match the eight characters and cannot be entered into the brain.
2. Disadvantages of Japanese.
Choose Japanese as the college entrance examination language: Some majors are restricted in filling in applications, so you cannot apply for some military academies because these schools only recruit English candidates. Some English majors will also clearly state that they recruit English candidates, so they are not allowed to take the Japanese test for the college entrance examination. You must be careful when taking the Japanese test for the college entrance examination.
Benefits: High points. If you start in the first year of high school, it will be 130, if you are in the second year of high school, it will be 110, and if you start in the third year of high school, you can also hit 90, provided that you study hard. If you are a bad student, you can also consider it based on your English score +40.
