To those aiming to pass the Economics Department of Nihon University: ________________________________________ ■ The Relationship Between Number of Applicants and Difficulty of Acceptance The application-to-acceptance ratio is an important indicator of the difficulty of the entrance exam. As the ratio increases, competition intensifies, and the passing score (deviation value) rises. In other words, the quality of your exam strategy changes significantly depending on whether you can grasp the increase or decrease in the number of applicants compared to last year early on. ________________________________________ ■ Why "Preliminary Application Numbers" Are Important When deciding between universities and departments of similar levels, the deciding factor is the Preliminary Application Numbers announced by the university during the application period. If you don't keep track of the trends in the preliminary numbers, you may not realize that "the number of applicants suddenly increased just before the deadline, and the difficulty level rose," which can put you at a disadvantage. ________________________________________ ■ However, Last Year's Preliminary Numbers Are "No Longer Available" Only the final confirmed numbers of applicants remain on the university's website, and the preliminary numbers are deleted. They are not included in commercially available exam materials, so there is no way to know when the number of applicants increased last year. ________________________________________ ■ Therefore We are recording the "Preliminary Application Numbers" for each announcement date. We record the preliminary numbers announced by the Economics Department of Nihon University in the previous year (for the 2025 academic year), allowing you to check "how many applicants increased on which day." ・ Initial application numbers ・ Growth in the middle period ・ Sudden increase just before the deadline You can grasp these at a glance. ________________________________________ ■ The Accuracy of Your Application Strategy Will Change With this material, you can: "Will the number of applicants increase in the same way this year?" "Which departments are risky?" This is a powerful decision-making tool at the time of "applying right before the exam." Please prepare it for yourself. ________________________________________ "Yu-Packet Post Mini" for quick shipping. A4 (B4) folded four times.
