Nationwide Unified Tests to Foster Academic Growth for All Students

The Nationwide Unified Tests, initiated in November 2007, enter their 19th year this 2025. Organized by Nagase Corporation, which operates Toshin High School and Toshin Satellite Prep Schools, along with Yoyogi Otsuka, these tests provide free opportunities for elementary through high school students across Japan to improve their academic abilities, regardless of their regional or economic situations. Through participation, students challenge themselves and inspire each other, paving the way for future leaders. The aim is to discover and nurture outstanding talents hidden throughout Japan and support the growth of individuals who will one day lead the world.

The Nationwide Unified Tests are designed not only to assess knowledge but also to help students identify their weaknesses and build a roadmap for improvement. This initiative encourages participants to transform their test results into actionable learning plans, paving the first steps toward achieving their academic goals.
