Chiba Entrance English case studies
Chiba Entrance English · Put your knowledge to work in context.
Chiba University's second-stage English paper is the university's own exam - the 個別学力検査 - taken by applicants going through the general admissions route (一般選抜). It is not a stand-alone certificate: it sits alongside the 大学入学共通テスト as part of a two-stage selection, and the university combines the two results differently for each faculty, so a good score means a good score relative to other applicants to that faculty, not against a fixed cut-off. The Chiba Entrance English case studies are 5 cases and about 2,419 words.
