◼︎Voices of Successful Applicants
Here are some voices from students who successfully gained admission to difficult universities by utilizing our courses.
Kota-san (Akamon Dojo 3rd generation), The University of Tokyo, Science I, Keio University School of Medicine
"My weak subject, Japanese language, became a reliable subject where I could consistently score well."
I took the University of Tokyo Science Stream Japanese Language course in the Past Exam Practice series.
Japanese language was originally my weak point, but after taking this course, I learned how to construct answers and how to think, making it a reliable subject where I could consistently score 40-50 points.
I truly believe my success this year is thanks to Japanese language.
Y.N.-san, Hokkaido University
"My weak subject, mathematics, improved from a deviation score in the 50s to nearly 70."
In the Intensive Basic Mathematics course, I was carefully taught the essence of mathematical thinking, which allowed me to acquire the ability to apply fundamental principles to solve problems. Although mathematics was originally my weak point, I was able to improve my deviation score from the 50s to nearly 70. My total score on the Common Test was dependent on my mathematics score, so it's no exaggeration to say that I was able to apply to Hokkaido University thanks to the Intensive Basic course. Thank you very much.
M.K.-san, Waseda University, Sophia University, Tokyo University of Science, GMARCH, National Defense Academy
"I was able to solve difficult mathematics problems without feeling the difficulty."
I purchased the Intensive Basic courses for Mathematics I, A, II, B + Vectors, III, C, and English Sentence Analysis because I was weak in mathematics. I was worried if I could keep up with the course level, but the videos explained from the very basics, so I had no trouble understanding. Not only did my mathematical ability improve, but I also gained confidence from having thoroughly learned the basics. Even in this year's Common Test Mathematics I A, which was said to be more difficult, I was able to solve it without feeling the difficulty.
