[Junior High School Entrance Exam] 2nd Go-hi-gaku Judgment Test: 'Mock exams are just mock exams. Have a purpose for the real thing.'

Parents should stay calm and composed. Do not let your emotions swing with every result.
For the children themselves,
'Don't let your emotions swing based on your deviation score!'
is an impossible thing to ask.

However,
parents, now is the time to respond calmly!

'Self-possessed and calm'

Junior high school entrance exams are often said to be
'a test of a parent's character.'
The more you love your child,

the more you don't want their efforts so far to go to waste.
Because of that,
you may end up more disappointed in the mock exam results than the child,

which undermines the child's confidence
and fuels the child's anxiety.
Align with the child's standards.
Also,


thinking it is for the child's own good,
you might apply adult standards
and push the child too hard.
As a result,
the child may become mentally unwell,

or catch a cold and fall ill,
making it impossible for them to focus on studying.
What is the point of taking mock exams?
Mock exams are for


'finding weaknesses,'
'finding problems that everyone else can do but you cannot,'
'confirming whether what you have been studying hard recently is being done correctly,'

'checking if you can solve problems that frequently appear in your target school,'
'and practicing solving while being conscious of time management.'

These are the reasons for taking them.
Confirm these things

with your child before they take the mock exam.
'The goal is not to get a good deviation score.'

'If you fail, just investigate the cause and use it for the real exam.'

If you tell your child this in advance,

the child can take the test with peace of mind.
Since mock exams are just mock exams,

please accept that they are 'a means to pass your target school,'

and make effective use of the mock exams.
