Preparing for the junior high school exam
小学生の皆さんへ
What exactly should I start with?
Even if you say studying for entrance exams, everyone will be at a loss as to what to start with.
Of course, going to a cram school is one way, but it is also important to find out what else you can do.
Actively incorporating various learning is necessary to make a difference with everyone.

First of all, let's take various tests.
"test? !! I'm sure there are many people who think so. I hate testing! weak point! Some people may say that, but once you decide to take the exam, the exam is the most necessary for your own learning.
I think there are subjects that you like and dislike, but there are many people who are not good at subjects that you dislike. However, I have to understand the subjects I don't like to take the exam and get rid of my weaknesses. Therefore, what is needed is a "test".
This is because I have to be able to confirm what I am not good at and what I am good at in order to proceed with my studies.
To do this, you need to know what subject you are not good at. Also, by taking the exam, you can check your weaknesses that you didn't notice, so it's also a shortcut for studying for the exam.
Also, take the exam at a large venue Take the exam surrounded by strangers. There are many people who are overwhelmed by the atmosphere of the place and are too nervous to fully demonstrate their strength.
Make an effort to get used to the test. Tests are held regularly at the cram school, but by taking the test in a stranger, you will become accustomed to taking the test calmly at any venue. Let's try various tests.
It is two birds with one stone because it is also useful for junior high school exams.
