Toshin's University-Level Practice Tests Set to Make Waves

In an exciting development for students aspiring to succeed in Japan's competitive university entrance exams, Toshin, operated by Nagase, is launching its comprehensive series of university-level practice tests, known as the "University-Specific Real-Exam Level Practice Tests." With a staggering total of 69 tests addressing 12 leading universities including the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University, Toshin is set to redefine preparatory education in Japan.

About the Practice Tests

The "University-Specific Real-Exam Level Practice Tests" are not just another assessment tool; they serve as a meticulous evaluation of students' academic strengths by reflecting the actual exam format of their desired schools. This unique approach allows students to gauge their performance against their peers and understand their readiness for the key challenges ahead.

As of 2025, the tests will be further expanded to include additional offerings tailored specifically for second-year high school students (10th graders). This effort promotes an inclusive academic environment where students can access unmatched preparatory resources. Among these offerings, students will find tests for renowned institutions such as Hokkaido University and Hiroshima University, which are exclusively available through Toshin.

Starting from late July, the second round of these tests will take place. The timing aligns perfectly for students to measure their academic progress over the summer and set a firm foundation for further studies. Participants will receive detailed score reports to analyze their current standings and help devise a strategic study plan that prioritizes areas needing improvement. This approach ensures students are well-prepared for the autumn and winter exam seasons.
