Experience the Challenge of Entrance Exams

In March 2026, Kawai Juku will host the 'Entrance Exam Challenge', specifically designed for new third-year and second-year high school students, as well as new first-year students from integrated junior and senior high schools.
This exciting event allows participants to take on real entrance exam questions from prestigious national universities like the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University, which were recently administered on February 25 and 26. This is an excellent opportunity for students to gauge their readiness for the actual exams and to familiarize themselves with the testing environment.

Understanding the Path to Success

The entrance exams for top national universities are notoriously challenging, with a heavy focus on deep subject comprehension and lengthy exam timeframes. Early exposure to these conditions is crucial for success. By participating in this event, students can accurately assess their academic levels and start devising effective strategies well ahead of the exam dates.

During the challenge, students will be able to attempt questions from the 2026 national university entrance exams, followed by detailed discussions led by experienced teachers familiar with the university admissions landscape. These sessions will cover insights into university trends and highlight key areas for improvement.

Participants will receive scored feedback on their submitted answers, aiding them in identifying strengths and weaknesses in their knowledge. Moreover, participation is flexible, allowing students to take the exam at various Kawai Juku centers or from the comfort of their homes.

This initiative is a valuable chance for high schoolers nationwide to understand their proximity to these sought-after academic institutions and to kick-start their journey towards success with a solid study plan.
