Free Entrance Exam Trials for Aspiring University Students

Kawai Juku and Kawai Juku Manavis are set to launch a series of free events titled "Difficult University Entrance Exam Trials" starting in October 2026. This initiative is designed for high school students in grades 1 and 2, as well as third-year middle school students from integrated junior and senior high schools, aspiring to enter prestigious national universities such as the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University.

Starting from the designated month, participants will experience face-to-face problem-solving sessions at Kawai Juku and video lesson formats through Kawai Juku Manavis. These sessions will involve practice exercises reflective of entrance exam standards accompanied by detailed explanatory lectures to help students identify their learning shortcomings and develop a targeted study plan for success in their desired schools.

Why Early Preparation Matters

The entrance exams for elite universities like Tokyo University and Kyoto University demand not only fundamental knowledge but also advanced thinking and application skills. Therefore, engaging with exam-level problems early is crucial for students to understand their current academic standing and to clarify the subjects they need to focus on in future studies.

During the trial, students will tackle realistic exam scenarios, and following this practice, experienced Kawai Juku instructors will provide comprehensive explanations on the unique problem-solving processes and thought methodologies essential for overcoming challenging university admissions. Additionally, they will offer invaluable advice on effective study methods and forthcoming preparations.

This trial serves as an excellent opportunity for students to refine their academic strategies, pinpoint necessary improvements, and gather practical insights to forge efficient study regimens aimed at acceptance to their target universities.

Despite a general alleviation in university admissions due to declining birth rates, the competitiveness for entrance to elite universities continues to rise. It is anticipated that many aspiring students will seek these trials as proactive measures to excel in their university applications. We encourage your medium to highlight this event as a vital step for middle school and high school students in preparing early for their desired universities.

Event Participation Process

Participants will first attempt entrance examination-level questions at Kawai Juku or Kawai Juku Manavis locations, after which professional instructors will explain the solutions in detail.
