| Designated school recommendation | First, a university specifies the number to be each high school, and chooses and recommends a student by the high school side. However, since it goes as representation of a school, although remarkable results are required, if they are chosen, they will be certainly put into the university. | It is a strong point that it can go to the place to which he wants to go certainly if it is chosen, although it is remarkable high difficulty. |
| General invitation recommendation | The thing of recommending from a high school side unlike designated school recommendation. Although it is different in it being general, and there is an interview and it changes with schools, there is also a place which imposes a center examination or has an individual examination. | Although difficulty is lower than designated school recommendation, certainty falls. Since there is also an interview, preparation of both study and interview is needed. |
| General examination | A center examination is fundamentally main. There is also a place which imposes an individual examination by some university. Unlike recommendation, in almost all cases, there is no interview. | It is unreasonableness if you do not study anyhow. Although results are not related, if they cannot take mark by examination, naturally they are impossible. There is no interview. It is possible for a failure to also receive general by recommendation. |
| AO entrance examination | An examination new type [ that it may pass if it has the special ability (skill, confidence) relevant to the enthusiasm to the university by the entrance examination method whose university introduced recently has increased even when study is weak ]. Success is impossible if it does not have what was described above of course with it. It becomes impossible to choose the other university, when it merely passes. | It is useless if it does not have the special ability which can plan not to go into the university of what does not need study, or can be efficiently employed at the university. Furthermore, when it passes by this examination in almost all places, you have to come to go to the university. |
