Total | 900 | 720 | 630 |
- Note: This is just a distribution based on the goal score, and it is not known whether it can be achieved.
- After roughly planning, I want to confirm with a teacher whether it is reasonable and achievable.
- After solving past exams once.
- Is there anyone who understands both IB and Common Test?
- Friends in Japan
- It seems like they aim for math 120, physics, and chemistry 50-60.
- Classical Chinese and Japanese Literature seems difficult, even for those who seem capable.
- Social studies teacher
- Ethics, Politics, and Economics: Can you reach 70% if you solve past exams 5 times?
-
Important: Apply collectively at school in autumn!

Trying to solve the one for the 2021 academic year within my current range.
-
History/Social Studies
- I don’t feel like I can solve it, so I stopped.
-
Japanese
- Half of it is modern literature and the other half is classical Chinese literature.
- I can’t handle classical Chinese literature, so I only did modern literature.
- As a result, I scored 90/100.
- Half of the mistakes are in reading comprehension and the other half are in kanji.
- It seems like a waste of time to spend time on kanji.
- I guess it’s pretty good.

Social studies subjects
- The one I want to do the most is World History, but it’s too narrow to cover with the deep knowledge of IB History.
- It would be almost starting from scratch before WWI.
- I want to know, but the risk is too high.
- I have some knowledge of Japanese History.
- If it’s a short period, I see that Ethics Politics and Economics is good.
- The philosophical content seems interesting, so maybe Ethics Politics and Economics.
- Common Test Ethics Politics and Economics
- The one I want to do the most is World History, but it’s too narrow to cover with the deep knowledge of IB History.

Science
- Physics and chemistry are the only options.
- I just have to do my best with this.
