I'm sure there are many mothers out there who are about to have their children take entrance exams. 

However, when it comes to entrance exams, the outcome can change greatly depending on whether or not not only the child knows the proper etiquette, but also the mother herself. 

When it comes to bags in particular, there are bags specifically designed for entrance exams, so it's a good idea to know about them in advance. 

Is there any etiquette for moms when it comes to their school entrance exam bags? 

Although the main character of the entrance exam is the child, the mother who acts alongside them must also act with the awareness that she is the main character. 

This is because a mother's clothing and behavior can have a major impact on her child's future. 

Choosing the right bag is especially important. 

Some people may think that a simple, plain bag for entrance exams, similar to the ones they normally use for work or personal use, will be fine, but that is a big mistake. 

Please keep in mind that formal bags are the only option for entrance exams. 

This is not just for entrance exams, but also for entrance ceremonies and graduation ceremonies, so it is important for moms to choose formal bags. 

How do you choose a school entrance exam bag for your mom? 

When it comes to entrance exam bags for moms, formal bags are the only option, but it can be difficult to know what criteria to use to choose one. 

Simplicity is key 

It is considered good manners for mothers to choose a simple design for their child's entrance exam bag. 

This is because the main focus of the entrance exam is the child, and there is no point in the mother trying to show off by choosing a flashy bag and standing out in a bad way. 

Of course, a lot will depend on how strict the school you're applying to is, but as a general rule, you should avoid choosing a bag with a pattern or excessive decoration. 

The basic rule is to have two 

Many mothers often take both a handbag and a secondary bag with them when they take their children to the entrance exams. 

One bag may not be able to fit everything you need.

Surprisingly, there is a lot of luggage you will need for events such as information sessions and school tours, in addition to the day of the entrance exam. 

Even if you bring a handbag and a sub-bag to your entrance exam bag, it is fine to leave the sub-bag in the waiting room or somewhere else when you come to the interview and just bring your main handbag. 

Standing entrance exam bag 

There are many different types of entrance exam bags, but it is ideal to choose one that can stand upright when placed on the ground. 

This is because we have to anticipate the possibility that a mother may place her bag on the ground during entrance exams. 

If you put your bag down and it falls over, the contents may spill out and cause you embarrassment. 

So, choose a bag that won't tip over when you place it on the ground. 

Be conscious of size 

When choosing the size of your child's entrance exam bag, you should choose one that is neither too big nor too small. 

In particular, if the bag is too large, it will give an unsophisticated impression even though it is for an entrance exam, so be careful not to wear it out of place. 

If you are looking for a formal bag, there are plenty of bags available in just the right size. 

Choose the best quality materials possible 

We do not recommend bags with flashy decorations or patterns for entrance exams, but if they are too plain, they may give a bad impression. 

In that case, a formal leather bag will have a luxurious feel and add a touch of elegance to the mom. 

However, enamel and embossed bags tend to stand out, so it's best to choose a simple bag. 

What are some examples of things moms should not choose when choosing a school entrance exam bag? 

It is considered good manners for mothers to choose formal bags for their children's entrance exams , but if you know what not to do, you can choose a bag that will not disappoint. 

Crossbody bag 

It may come as a surprise, but crossbody shoulder bags are not suitable for entrance exams. 

Crossbody shoulder bags are considered to be more casual and therefore not suitable for formal occasions. 

When it comes to convenience, you might be tempted to choose a crossbody shoulder bag, but be sure to choose a regular hand-held entrance exam bag. 

Casual bags 

It is considered good manners to choose a formal bag for entrance exams, so casual bags are not recommended. 

In particular, even if you use a bag on a daily basis, depending on its appearance, it may not be appropriate for an entrance exam. 

You may be tempted to bring the latest trendy eco-bags or bags with your child's favorite character, but these are not appropriate for an entrance exam setting. 

Shiny or glittery bags 

If you are completely unaware of what others think and just want to stand out more than anyone else, you might end up choosing a bag that is shiny or has glitter in it. 

However, if many moms have black or navy blue formal bags and you are the only one with a shiny or glittery bag, it can be quite embarrassing. 

Obvious branded bag 

It is very common for mothers to own expensive brand name bags. 

You might think that black or navy blue brand bags are fine for formal occasions, but you should avoid them at places like entrance exams. 

However, the brand itself is not the problem. 

The problem is branded bags with large or visible logos. 

We understand the desire to stand out and look good, but we recommend choosing a modest, formal bag for entrance exams. 

For example, there are styles of bags that are also used as formal bags, such as the Hermes Kelly bag, so whether it is okay to bring such a bag will vary greatly depending on the school's color scheme, so it's best to ask in advance from other moms who attend the school so you don't have to worry. 

How should mom choose her handbag and secondary bag? 

It's a good idea to choose formal handbags and secondary bags, but there are other things to look at as well. 

Handbags 

The color of the handbag should be either black or navy blue, and white and beige are not options. 

The ideal bag would be made of leather and have a design that exudes luxury without being flashy.

If possible, genuine leather would be more suitable, but there may be bad weather during the exam schedule. If you are worried, consider synthetic leather. 

Also, be careful of bags with brand logos on them. 

Bags with too conspicuous brand logos are not appropriate for entrance exams. 

Sub-bag 

Since the sub-bag will be used to carry various documents, your child's clothes, etc., it should be lightweight and highly functional. 

Basically, since the sub-bag can be placed in a waiting room, etc., it is fine to use nylon instead of leather. 

However, since this is only a secondary bag for entrance exams, make sure to keep it formal. 

What should moms pack in their school bag? 

Since entrance exams are not something that people experience very often, some mothers may be unsure of what to pack in their child's bag. 

If you forget even one thing, it can be emotionally draining, so make sure you prepare as well as possible. 

It's a good idea to put in your handbag the things you normally need when you go out, such as your cell phone, wallet, IC card, makeup (lipstick, compact, etc.), and handkerchief. 

A sub-bag should contain mainly your child's belongings, as well as a change of clothes, slippers, writing utensils, files, drinks, etc. 

If bad weather is expected, it would be useful to have a raincoat, folding umbrella, small towel, plastic bag, etc. 

However, the items you need to bring will vary depending on the exam, so it's essential to do some research beforehand. 

summary 

Taking your child's entrance exam is a major event and can be a life-changing event, so it is very important. 

Although the main focus of entrance exams is the child, if the accompanying mother is not careful about her child's clothing, bag, behavior, and comments, it may affect the exam results. 

If you research bags in advance, you will realize that it is important to keep formality in mind, so start by taking the necessary precautions to avoid any mistakes or regrets when the time comes.
