I'm trying to research the general direction that a third year highschooler in Japan goes through, specifically during the third term around university entrance exams. Does anyone have any perspective or knowledge about how that term looks? Did you go to school during the entrance exam period (as i have seen some say that it is not compulsory for third years around this time, is that equivalent to study leave in the uk?). How your time was filled before graduation and after exams were finished - was it just preparing for university or did you get a well earned break? Any first person/third person knowledge on the period as a whole is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
