Kawai Prep Group Launches University Entrance Exam Trial

Today marks the start of applications for the University Entrance Exam Trial, organized by Kawai Prep and its affiliates, Kawai Manavis and Medical Lab. Slated for November 15, this event aims to provide first and second-year high school students, along with third-year middle school students from integrated school systems, with a chance to experience original problems reflective of the trends in the University Entrance Exam. This means students can participate from the comfort of their homes, and best of all, participation is free of charge.

In January, the actual University Entrance Exam revealed a concerning drop in average scores, particularly in subjects like mathematics and physics, indicating the competitive nature of admissions, especially for science-focused students. However, with the sixth year of the exam now in motion, the trends have stabilized, creating a real opportunity for students to achieve high scores with diligent preparation.

Success in tackling the University Entrance Exam requires a solid foundation in various subjects. Moreover, students must quickly adapt to the unique problem formats that emphasize critical thinking and judgment, which includes navigating complex question texts and data.

The University Entrance Exam Trial is based on the expertise drawn from years of creating quality mock exam problems for approximately 2.7 million annual test-takers and a thorough analysis of prior exam questions. This allows students preparing for the exam to gain early exposure to the specific question styles they will encounter.

To enhance the experience, an online lecture will be provided alongside the trial. Participants will receive their individual score reports three days post-exam, which can be utilized as a guide for future study.

For first-year and third-year students, this trial offers a valuable introduction to tackling university admissions. Those in their second year can use this experience to increase their motivation as they strategize for their desired universities.

We encourage your publication to share this opportunity with high school students and the integrated middle school students throughout the country, as they embark on their journey of preparing for the University Entrance Exam.
