Kagawa Entrance Science study plan
Kagawa Entrance Science · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Mathematics (Mathematics I, II, III, A, B)
Diagnose current ability in Mathematics I–III and A–B by completing a timed 60-minute mixed set and recording accuracy per subtopic (limits, differentiation, integration, vectors, sequences, probability, complex plane).
Rebuild differentiation and integration fundamentals: differentiate composite, trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions, and compute indefinite and definite integrals including substitution and by-parts.
Set up a formula and error notebook with one page per subtopic listing the identities you actually misapply.
Schedule five 60-minute weekday blocks and one 120-minute weekend block in a calendar with fixed start times.
Your checkpoint
A one-page diagnostic score table showing accuracy per mathematics subtopic plus a written 8-week schedule with fixed study slots.
Mathematics (Mathematics I, II, III, A, B)
Solve sequences and series problems: arithmetic and geometric progressions, recurrence relations, and summation formulas including telescoping sums.
Work through vectors in the plane and space: dot and cross products, equations of lines and planes, and angle and distance calculations.
Practise probability and counting: permutations, combinations, conditional probability, and expected value in short-answer format.
Review complex numbers and the complex plane, including polar form and de Moivre's theorem applications.
Your checkpoint
Thirty solved problems across sequences, vectors, probability and complex numbers, each with a one-line note on the method used.
Mathematics (Mathematics I, II, III, A, B)
Complete full-length timed mathematics papers under exam conditions and mark them against worked solutions.
Classify every error as conceptual, computational or time-management and tally the categories.
Re-drill the two weakest subtopics identified in the error tally until accuracy exceeds 80 percent on a fresh set.
Summarise the standard solution patterns for curve sketching, area and volume integrals, and max-min problems on a single reference sheet.
Your checkpoint
Two marked timed mathematics papers with an error-category tally and a one-page pattern reference sheet.
Physics & Chemistry
Cover mechanics: kinematics equations, Newton's laws, work-energy and momentum conservation, solving at least twenty calculation problems.
Cover waves, electricity and magnetism essentials: wave equation, Ohm's law, series and parallel circuits, magnetic force on a current-carrying wire.
Build a chemistry equation bank: balance redox and acid-base equations and calculate moles, concentrations and stoichiometric yields.
Memorise the periodic trends and common ion charges you will need for fast recall, and self-test them twice.
Your checkpoint
A 40-problem physics and chemistry problem set solved with worked steps, plus a balanced-equation bank of at least 25 reactions.
Physics & Chemistry
Apply gas laws, thermochemistry and equilibrium concepts to numerical problems, including Le Chatelier predictions.
Describe organic functional groups and simple reaction pathways (substitution, addition, esterification) accurately in writing.
Explain physics phenomena in words as well as equations, practising short written explanations of two to four sentences.
Review mistakes from week 4 and re-solve every problem previously answered incorrectly.
Your checkpoint
A written summary of 12 physics and chemistry concepts in exam-style short answers, each under 60 words, checked against a textbook.
Biology & Earth Science / Geology & Scientific reasoning and data interpretation across the natural sciences
Outline core biology topics: cell structure and function, genetics and inheritance ratios, homeostasis, and ecosystems, producing labelled diagrams from memory.
Summarise earth science essentials: plate tectonics, rock types and the rock cycle, geologic time scale order, and basic atmospheric and oceanic circulation.
Practise data interpretation: read tables and graphs, identify trends, calculate simple rates and percentages, and state conclusions with units.
Interpret at least three described experimental scenarios and identify the independent variable, control and source of error.
Your checkpoint
A data-interpretation worksheet of 10 items (tables, graphs and described experiments) answered with units and justified conclusions.
English (reading, grammar, composition) & Japanese Language
Read two exam-length English passages under time pressure and answer comprehension and vocabulary-in-context questions.
Drill English grammar points that appear in entrance exams: tense agreement, relative clauses, subjunctive, comparatives and inversion.
Write two short English compositions of 120 to 150 words with a clear topic sentence, supporting detail and conclusion, then self-edit for agreement and article errors.
Review Japanese language fundamentals: kanji reading and writing, honorific usage and sentence reordering items.
Your checkpoint
Two corrected English compositions plus a grammar error log listing every mistake type found in the reading and grammar drills.
Mathematics (Mathematics I, II, III, A, B) & Scientific reasoning and data interpretation across the natural sciences
Run two full mock exams across all domains under strict timing, then mark and score each by domain weight.
Revisit the week 1 diagnostic table and confirm that every previously weak mathematics subtopic now scores above 70 percent.
Consolidate the error notebook into a final one-page revision sheet covering formulas, frequent traps and time-allocation rules.
Simulate exam-day logistics once: confirm permitted tools, timing per section and a section-order strategy.
Your checkpoint
Two scored mock exams with a domain-by-domain comparison against the week 1 baseline and a final one-page revision sheet.
Milestones
Week 2: Complete the week 1 diagnostic and solve at least 50 mathematics problems, with the error notebook containing entries for all mathematics subtopics.
Week 4: Finish two timed mathematics papers and show an error tally proving that at least two weak subtopics were re-drilled to 80 percent accuracy.
Week 6: Complete the 40-problem physics and chemistry set, the equation bank, and the 10-item data-interpretation worksheet with units stated throughout.
Week 8: Score both full mock exams, confirm every mathematics subtopic exceeds 70 percent, and finish the final one-page revision sheet.
