Application for the 2026 National Examination Mock Test for Animal Nurses Begins

The company and Vet, based in Taito, Tokyo, is pleased to announce that applications are now open for the 2026 National Examination Mock Test for Animal Nurses. As Japan's leading provider of exam preparation services, we are committed to helping future veterinary nurses pass their national exams.

This mock test is the largest of its kind in Japan, with over 17,000 candidates having taken part and more than 60 veterinary nursing training institutions across the country integrating it into their curricula. It allows students to objectively analyze their academic performance in comparison to national averages, something that can often be overlooked in classroom settings.

The high satisfaction rate among participants highlights its value as a practical preparation tool for the national exam, receiving much support from both students and educational institutions.

Major Update to Performance Analysis Functionality

In an effort to provide more detailed insights into each candidate's learning progress and enhance their exam strategies, we have significantly revamped our performance analysis features.

Details of the Revamped Features

- Results of all subjects displayed in a comprehensive list
- Comparisons of individual subject scores against national averages
- Subject-by-subject analysis via a radar chart for visual representation

These updates improve how students can view their subject-specific performance and compare it with both school and national averages.

After the exam, candidates will now be able to quickly identify their strengths and weaknesses in each subject area. This level of detailed feedback empowers students to tailor their study approaches for better outcomes.

We will continue to iterate on these features to support an increasing number of candidates preparing for the national exams, contributing to the sustainable workforce within the animal healthcare industry. Moreover, we are dedicated to creating an environment where more candidates can approach their national exams with confidence.
