For a variety of reasons,I dropped out of upper secondary school,but I would like to study history,which I have been interested in since I was a child,at university.
Successful candidates are tho-se who pass all the required subjects.
In addition,successful candidates receive the same treatment as upper secondary school graduates in sitting for a variety of national examinations. To be successful does not require the student to pass all subjects at one sitting. In FY1999,approximately18,000applicants took the Daiken,with around9,000passing. There-fore,the Daiken plays a significant role in providing another chance for people who drop out of school to go to university. In the past,people who had passed the Practical English Proficiency Test or the Practical Book-keeping Proficiency Test were exempted from sitting in those subjects.
