The classic Japanese drama "Ryuuzakura" tells the story of a former bosozoku and now poor lawyer played by actor Hiroshi Abe. He opens a special training class in a stupid high school with a deviation value of only 36 to help students solve various family and financial problems in one year. The story of how he was admitted to the University of Tokyo by the way.
The students in the play couldn't even do the junior high school questions well at the beginning, but in the end, 3 out of 6 passed the entrance examination of Tokyo University. It only took a short year.
This is not impossible in the real world. After all, exam-oriented education can improve scores in a short period of time as long as the correct corresponding methods are used. But the treatment in the TV series is somewhat idealistic.
Most of the outstanding students who aim to attend Tokyo University come from prestigious high schools. They not only study hard, but also spend a lot of time in after-school cram schools. A special training class alone is not enough to make up for the gap in effort.
For Amamiya Sugawara, who worked as a question writer in a small town in her previous life, although the knowledge in Japanese high schools is slightly different from that in China, in general it is the same set of things. With rich experience in answering questions, she scored 835 points in the central examination.
What is the concept of this score? The full score of the University of Tokyo entrance examination is 550 points, of which 110 points are calculated by reducing the 900 points of the central examination to 110 points in proportion. Generally speaking, the minimum score for those who pass the Tokyo University entrance exam has fluctuated over the years, but it is generally around 320 points. In other words, Amamiya Shiori has already scored 102 points in the exam. As long as he can get more than half of the remaining 440 points, he will be very stable.
Of the remaining 440 points, 80 points for Mandarin and 120 points for science (physical chemistry) are pretty good. In terms of foreign languages, Amamiya Shiori has an inherent advantage in choosing Chinese. She can surely score more than 90 points out of 120.
The most important thing is mathematics, which has a full score of 120 points. It is also the most difficult subject in the Tokyo University entrance exam. Its difficulty is equivalent to the domestic independent admissions examination, including some high school competitions and lower-grade undergraduate content. It is the easiest place to widen the gap with other candidates. There used to be students who got high scores in mathematics, but still entered Tokyo University despite taking one less subject.
Freshmen at the University of Tokyo Faculty (undergraduate) are not divided into majors in the first two years. Instead, they are divided into several major categories. Taking science as an example, it is divided into three categories.
Among them, the science category mainly includes the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Science. The Faculty of Engineering includes many disciplines in the engineering fields such as civil engineering, machinery, electronics, aviation, materials, applied chemistry, and applied physics. The Faculty of Science includes mathematics, information science, physics, astronomy, and geophysics. , chemistry, biochemistry, biological sciences, earth science and other 9 departments. The score requirements for this category are not the highest.
The second category of science is mainly the Department of Agriculture, offering majors such as agricultural biology, agricultural chemistry, forestry, fisheries, etc., with the lowest score requirements.
The third category of science is the elite among the elite of Dongda University, and the medical department it represents has the highest score requirements. For example, if you can pass the second science category with a score of 310, you will need about 390 points to pass the third science category.
Of course, this does not mean that students must study which major according to which category they are admitted to Dongda. In the first two years, freshmen take basic courses in mathematics, physics, etc., and then choose majors based on their grades. Therefore, first take the science category II exam, which requires the lowest scores, and then study hard after entering school in order to be admitted to other majors in the exam at the end of the second school year. This is also the strategy of many candidates.
Amamiya Souri neither had the idea of spending a lot of time studying medicine, nor did she consider the strategy of starting from the second category of science. Instead, she chose to take the first-level science exam, aiming for the information science major she was most familiar with.
Amamiya Shiori, who received her admission ticket in early February, did not publicize it and continued working as usual. Before the debut single was released, she went to various TV stations and radio stations to promote the album, and she was not absent from all the promotion activities.
The weekend when "Surrounded by Curtains" was officially released, February 25th and 26th, was the day of the 2012 Tokyo University entrance exam.
On this day, Amamiya Shiori got up early and felt a little nervous.
"So, why did Mai get up so early today?" Amamiya Shiori asked Mai Shiraishi sitting opposite while drinking porridge.
"Of course I have to send Xiaozhi to take the exam." Shiraishi Mai said matter-of-factly.
"I'm not a child anymore, I still need to be given away." Amamiya Soi disagreed.
"That's not possible. What if something unexpected happens along the way, such as forgetting your admission ticket, forgetting your pencil, or suddenly having a stomachache..." Mai Shiraishi clapped her fingers.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Amamiya Shiori quickly stopped Shiraishi Mai from giving an example.
"Ah, I'm sorry!" Mai Shiraishi made a conscious mistake.
It's inappropriate to mention bad luck these two days.
"Don't worry, I have everything ready, and I am in the best condition these two days." Amamiya Sori was full of confidence.
"But, I also want to see it. That's Tokyo University, the unique University of Tokyo. I haven't been there yet."
"It's not like we're usually not allowed in. Since we want to take a look, let's come together."
"Really?"
"I won't stop you."
"Great! Xiaozhi, hurry up and eat, we'll leave in a minute!"
Amamiya Shiori felt that Shiraishi Mai was more proactive than herself as a candidate.
It takes more than thirty minutes to take the subway from Nishi-Kasai, where the Nogizaka Dormitory is located, to the University of Tokyo in Bunkyo Ward.
Amamiya Sugawara was wearing a navy blue winter student uniform with a very short skirt. To keep warm, she put on thick black stockings and a dark scarf. Mai Shiraishi was wearing a camel coat, pantyhose, boots, and a white knitted scarf. The two people use a cool color and a warm color, bringing a beautiful scenery to a corner of the carriage.
"What should I do! I'm so nervous." Shiraishi Mai interlocked with Amamiya Souri with one hand, and covered her chest with the other. "My heart was pounding."
"I understand, you're here to do a disservice." Amamiya Sori looked at Shiraishi Mai's worried expression, "Nervousness is contagious."
"I'm nervous for you!" Mai Shiraishi stamped her feet coquettishly.
Her face, lightly painted with pink, and her jelly-like lips, looked very alluring to Amamiya Shiori, who was so close at hand.
Mai Shiraishi is beautiful, this is a very obvious fact.
If it weren't for this reason, maybe Amamiya Shiori wouldn't have meddleed in helping her who was being bullied by her seniors.
The Nogizaka members who became idols, with the help of stylists and beauty salons, became beautiful and white from little girls. Everyone is getting more and more beautiful, but Mai Shiraishi is still the most dazzling pearl among them.
"By the way, aren't aunties coming?" Mai Shiraishi asked casually. "Xiao Zhi?"
"Huh?" Staring at Mai Shiraishi's face, Amamiya Sori was stunned for a while, "What?"
"I said, Auntie, aren't you going to come? Today is Xiaozhi's exam."
"Well," Amamiya Shiori replied perfunctorily, "she has her own things to be busy with."
"But Xiaozhi's matter is also very important! How can you ignore it?" Although she had known for a long time that Amamiya Shizhi's mother rarely cared about her life, Shiraishi Mai felt that it was a bit too much to not ask about such a major life event. .
"It's okay, I'm used to being alone." Amamiya Suga smiled, noncommittal.
