Shinga Kai Pre-Entrance Exam Practice Tests Announced

Shinga Kai, a subsidiary of Riso Education Group, has unveiled its full schedule for pre-entrance exam practice tests tailored for children about to enter the final year of kindergarten. Scheduled from September 1 to October 4, 2026, these tests aim to evaluate a child's performance in a realistic test environment.

Children will have one hour to showcase their abilities, providing both a reflection of their skills and an assurance of readiness for their desired schools. This testing format consists of two critical components: the pre-entrance exam practice tests and school-specific challenge tests, both aimed at fostering comprehensive abilities and practical skills necessary for passing entrance examinations.

Target Audience

These practice tests are designed for children born between April 2, 2020, and April 1, 2021, who are preparing for their upcoming entrance exams.

Schedule Overview

Here’s the breakdown of the practice tests across five different slots:

• - Test No. 1: September 1-6, 2026
