Japan School of Studies
In March 2024, ARTSLINK Shanghai & Suzhou & Wuxi Campus conducted an exclusive "Japan Faculty Mock Exam" in the form of "proposition exam", ➕ "lecture meeting" ➕ and "seminar", in the form of online/offline synchronous communication.

About the mold
* Mock examination site of the Japanese Academy
Since the content of the examination in Japan is slightly different from that in the United Kingdom and the United States, the examination mode of the Faculty of Japan emphasizes more on-site practical examinations and face-to-face dialogue with professors, and the portfolio is assessed together during the interview. Even many schools will take essays and so on... Therefore, the Faculty of Japanese Studies calls this method a mock test.
Students' mock exams are especially important for on-site training. In the process of mock exams, students can feel the different mode of practice in the past, whether they can complete the work within the specified time, and whether they can accurately express their creative logic after completion.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET FEEDBACK AND SUGGESTIONS FROM ARTSLINK'S TEAM OF MENTORS.

Looking back on this mock exam, the students actively participated in the exam, and after 3 hours of creation, they completed a pair of works. During the presentation, the participants were given an opportunity to sort out the content of their works and find out the future direction through the comments and suggestions of professional teachers.
Through this mock test, students get feedback from different teachers' reviews and comments, and are able to look at their previous design works from a perspective other than their own, so that they can better overcome obstacles to make design decisions, optimize their works, and improve their own design ideas.

Mock exam review
In this mock examination of the three campuses, the tutors of ARTSLINK Japan School checked at all levels, from the theme exam, to the design extension, to the project display, to fully stimulate the maximum potential of each student, just to help the student win the dream school in one fell swoop!

A large number of students are not very good at observing and learning other people's works, and some students are not able to accurately extract the main content of their own works and tell them, and the language expression is too cumbersome.

The tutors suggested that everyone should speak actively in the later mock exams, and offline participation will better improve communication skills.
Overall, everyone got suggestions on how to complete the works better in this mock exam, and the overall cooperation is very good, and I hope that more students can participate in the follow-up.
Mentor feedback
In the process of this mock exam, everyone has received a wealth of feedback from the perspective of the tutor, now let's take a look at the views of the tutors on each campus on this mock exam.

The instructor said:
Through this mock exam, the students deeply felt the urgency of time.
Students who are usually used to being casual always do not have a sense of time, so this is just the time to remind students through mock exams. When I feel that I am taking a time-limited exam, what kind of efficiency do I need to improve?
Students also feel the gap between themselves and others under the time requirements of drawing the same group of still lifes together, and they will also put a certain amount of pressure on themselves if they know their shortcomings.
This is also the feeling that we hope to bring to students. In the future, mock exams will be conducted in stages to promote the efficiency of students' progress!

The instructor said:
Our students demonstrated their sketching talents in a recent mock test, from beginner to advanced, each sketch is full of personality and creativity. This is part of our intensive training program for future higher education in Japan.
In this simulation, the students' attitude is also very correct, and they try their best to depict the techniques and knowledge they have mastered on paper, whether it is the shape or material of the still life, compared with the previous one.
I believe that in the future simulations, students will be able to overcome one difficulty after another, and finally burst out their potential in the entrance examination.

The instructor said:
This mock exam is both familiar and unfamiliar to several students in Suzhou, because this mock exam practice has also appeared many times in the past study, so the students have done a good job in time control.
It was pleasantly surprised that some students could think of destroying the appearance of the still life within a reasonable range, thus presenting an interesting picture. At the same time, the unfamiliar point is that the texture of the cloth surface needs to be depicted and some observation of details, which are the key scoring points of the exam, and they all need to be strengthened.
I hope that everyone can see their shortcomings through this kind of practice, and also have a better attitude to face the entrance examination in Japan in the future.

The instructor said:
The mock test is very helpful for students' painting communication, you can see the excellent works of other campuses, you can also realize the shortcomings of your own painting, such as some physical problems, or some composition problems, as well as the difference in details, after comparing other people's works, you will realize what you still need to improve, and you will not be like usually painting by yourself and not finding the direction.
The second is self-presentation, you can find that the enthusiasm of this PK nature of the small test students is particularly high, everyone wants to show their best side to everyone, everyone will have ideas for their own pictures, there are expectations, which is very positive, and the ability to explain their own pictures will be higher than before.
Listening to the feedback of others is also an important part of the growth of designers, not only to look at their own design ideas from a larger perspective, but also to train their own systematic thinking and sensibility.
There are too many improvements that can be brought by a mock exam, and I believe everyone who participated in it is deeply touched. And we look forward to these suggestions and new ideas being presented in your projects, and finally growing into a dream school notice.
