Kyotsu Test Score Calculator - Total, Score Rate and Weighted Conversion
Calculate your Common Test total and converted score
| Subject | Max | Your score | University allocation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Japanese | 200 | ||
| Mathematics I·A | 100 | ||
| Mathematics II·B·C | 100 | ||
| English reading | 100 | ||
| English listening | 100 | ||
| Science 1 | 100 | ||
| Science 2 | 100 | ||
| Geography/History/Civics | 100 | ||
| Information I | 100 |
Raw scores are exact. The converted total scales each subject to the allocation the target university publishes, for example English reading 100 to 160 and listening 100 to 40; allocations differ by university and faculty, so check the admission guide. The default pattern is the 2025 format with Information I, 1000 points.
How the Common Test is scored and converted
The Common Test for University Admissions is marked out of a fixed maximum per subject: Japanese 200, each mathematics test 100, English reading 100 and listening 100, each science and social studies subject 100, and from 2025 Information I 100. The standard five-subject pattern for national universities adds up to 1000. Universities do not use the raw total as is: each faculty publishes an allocation per subject, and your score is scaled to it, which is the weighted conversion known as keisha haiten. The converted total is then combined with the university's own second-stage examination.
Steps
- 1 Enter your score in each subject you took; leave the others blank.
- 2 Enter the allocation per subject from the target faculty's admission guide, or leave it equal to the maximum to see the raw rate only.
- 3 Read the raw total, the score rate and the converted total, and compare them with the faculty's published pass lines.
Score rate
The score rate is the raw total divided by the maximum of the subjects you took. Pass lines for national universities are usually quoted as rates: around 60 percent for many regional universities, 75 to 85 percent for competitive faculties, and 85 percent and above for the most selective medical and top-university programmes.
Weighted conversion
A faculty may count English reading at 160 and listening at 40, compress Japanese from 200 to 100 or double mathematics. Each subject's score is multiplied by allocation divided by maximum, and the products are added. A strong subject with a high allocation lifts the converted total far more than the raw total suggests, which is why the same raw score can rank differently at two universities.
Subject patterns
Science tracks typically take two science subjects and one social studies subject, humanities tracks the reverse. Private universities using the Common Test often require only three subjects. Enter only what you took; the calculator uses the maximum of those subjects as the denominator.
Limits of this calculator
Allocations, subject requirements and the weight of the second-stage examination are set by each faculty and change year to year. The conversion here is arithmetic only; the admission guide of the faculty is the authority.
