Description

Over 30 years have passed since multiple administration of the national university entrance examination was first considered. However, multiple administrations have still not been implemented. This paper examined what makes administering the examination multiple times difficult, especially considering testing culture in Japan, stated reasons and problems, and characteristics of several recent tests. Results revealed three remaining problems: (1) Whether the test should be used for selection or certification was unclear; (2) too much significance was placed on test scores; and (3) educational measurement and psychometrics have not become widespread in Japan.
