Complete Mastery of Hokkaido University Trends for 25 Years. 2027: 'Boys, be ambitious.' Reach the Summit with Great Ambition.

## Notification of Renewal of Guidance Curriculum and Learning Plan

Study Chain Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Akihiro Takemoto) has significantly renewed its guidance curriculum and the methodology for creating order-made learning plans at 'Hokkaido University Pass Specialized Cram School,' a study-management prep school specializing in Hokkaido University (Hokudai) entrance exam prep, after thoroughly analyzing 25 years of past exams. A new guidance system aimed at maximizing pass rates for the 2027 entrance exams is now launching.

### About Hokkaido University Entrance Exams
Hokkaido University is one of the former Imperial Universities boasting a vast campus and extensive research environment. As a comprehensive university covering agriculture, veterinary medicine, fisheries—fields unique to Hokkaido—as well as science, medicine, engineering, and economics, the 25-year exam trends confirm problem designs reflecting the characteristics of each faculty.

### Background and Overview of the Renewal
Hokkaido University Pass Specialized Cram School has thoroughly analyzed 25 years of past exams (FY2000–FY2024) by subject, field, and question format. This analysis revealed the existence of long-term 'exam trends' and 'key priority areas,' and the fact that the score range that determines passing or failing fluctuates by year.

Conventional exam guidance often took inefficient approaches such as:
- Only practicing a few recent years of past exams
- General textbook-centered study
- Uniform measures across all subjects while ignoring exam trends

However, what actually determines success is:
- Accurate grasping of 'frequent fields' seen from 25 years of trends
- Score strategies capable of handling annual difficulty fluctuations
- Optimization of subject weightings calculated backward from the target school's minimum passing score
- Designing an order-made learning roadmap based on 25-year trends

### What Changes with the 25-Year Thorough Analysis?
We analyze Hokkaido University's past exams from the following perspectives:
- Transitions in exam fields and frequency rankings
- Correlation between year-on-year difficulty changes and minimum passing scores
- Trends in answer structures prioritized by graders
- Differences between the last 5 years and the previous 20 years (evolution of question styles)
- Pattern analysis of passing vs. failing answers

Based on this multi-faceted analysis, we visualize the gap between each student's current academic level and the minimum passing score for Hokkaido University, designing 'what field, in what order, and to what depth' they should study.

### New Policy for Order-Made Learning Plans
The school will create personalized plans through the following process:
- **STEP 1: Diagnosis Phase:** Accurately grasp current academic ability by subject and field, quantifying the gap with the required level for Hokkaido University.
- **STEP 2: Analysis Phase:** Present the 'score structure' derived from 25 years of data and clarify in which subjects/fields scores should be accumulated.
- **STEP 3: Design Phase:** Individual roadmaps for weekly and monthly study are designed backward from the minimum passing score, considering the remaining time until the exam.
- **STEP 4: Management Phase:** Weekly progress checks and quantitative management detect and correct deviations from the plan immediately.
- **STEP 5: Optimization Phase:** Continually update the learning plan at high speed based on mock exam results and exercise data.

### Features After Renewal
- Guidance curriculum based on thorough analysis of 25 years of past exams.
- Unique diagnostic system visualizing the gap between current level and passing score.
- Personalized order-made learning roadmaps.
- Weekly progress management and fast feedback cycles.
- Priority measures based on 2027 exam trend predictions.
