What to do in the 'Critical Period' for Comprehensive Selection Exams? Online Event on May 13th & 20th to Introduce Strategies and Latest Exam Trends from Successful Applicants' Examples

Loohcs Shijuku Nagoya and Chikusa schools will hold an online event titled "What did successful applicants do during this critical period?" on Wednesday, May 13th, and Wednesday, May 20th, 2026, targeting high school students, parents, and educators considering comprehensive selection exams.

This event will introduce the latest trends in comprehensive selection exams and the preparation methods actually undertaken by successful applicants during the critical period, based on real-world examples.

■ Background

In recent years, the perception of comprehensive selection exams has significantly changed from the traditional view of "it's fine to start preparing from summer." With an increase in applicants and higher倍率 (magnification/competition ratio), coupled with more students undertaking specialized preparation, comprehensive selection exam preparation has become more sophisticated and earlier.

On the other hand, unlike general entrance exams, comprehensive selection exams require significantly different preparations depending on the desired university, faculty, and the applicant's own experiences and interests. Therefore, it is often unclear "what to do at this time" or "how successful applicants prepared," leaving many students and parents anxious.

In this event, Loohcs Shijuku Nagoya and Chikusa schools, which have a wide range of successful admissions to difficult universities and local universities, will specifically explain the necessary preparations for the critical period of comprehensive selection exams, based on their many years of guidance experience and examples of successful applicants.

■ Features

The biggest feature of this event is that it provides information "based on actual examples of successful applicants."

Instead of general exam information, you can specifically learn "when, what, and at what level" successful applicants did, based on actual data.

We provide practical and reproducible information that is difficult to obtain elsewhere.
