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 at an early stage. ________________________________________ ■ Why "Preliminary Application Numbers" are Important When you are undecided between universities and faculties of the same level, the deciding factor is the Preliminary Application Numbers announced by the university during the application period. If you don't understand the trends in the preliminary numbers, you may not notice that "the number of applicants suddenly increased just before the deadline, and the difficulty level rose," and you may find yourself in a disadvantageous situation. ________________________________________ ■ 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 Record of "Preliminary Application Numbers" by announcement date We record the preliminary numbers announced by Ritsumeikan University (Faculty of Business Administration, Faculty of Policy Science, Faculty of Comprehensive Psychology, Faculty of Image Arts) in the previous year (2025), and you can check "how many applicants increased on which day." ・Initial turnout ・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 decipher "Will the number of applicants increase in the same way this year?"
