In all seriousness, I think we're seeing the difference between Kyou throwing himself into exam prep for middle school and doing it again for high school.
Back then, he got deeper and deeper and deeper into it, living an unbalanced life for weeks and months on end, wallowing in self-denial, pouring his entire being into being "ready" but freaking out once he actually got there and breaking down.
Now, he wants to do the same things that wrecked him before...but his people recognize all those same signs and won't let him make the same mistakes no matter how hard he tries. And...they now have a trump card to play. I don't think his family will hesitate to lay that card down as much as necessary. And maybe even beyond that.
As the sage Azusagawa Sakuta once mused, it's good to have your parents and your girlfriend get along.
