Kawai Juku Hongo School Hosts Comprehensive UT Exam Seminar

On November 3, Kawai Juku Hongo School, located in the Bunkyo Ward of Tokyo, will present an insightful seminar titled "Understanding the UT Entrance Exam". Designed for both high school seniors and younger students in junior high and early high school, this event promises to deliver essential insights into preparing for the rigorous entrance exam to the University of Tokyo (UT). The teaching staff, comprising experienced instructors and academic advisors, will share practical methods to enhance study effectiveness and navigate the complexities of the entrance exam.

The university-specific nature of this seminar has garnered attention and appreciation from the target demographic, making it a must-attend event. This year, online streaming will be available for those who cannot attend in person, expanding accessibility.

In the wake of significant changes in the entrance exam structure for the academic year 2025, which saw a stark decrease in applicants by 11% compared to the previous year, it has become imperative for aspiring students to arm themselves with the latest strategies and insights. The tougher first selection stages have notably affected groups outside of the science category while maintaining the overall competitive nature of the exams. Participants in the recent UT practice exam observed an uptick in applicants from both humanities and science backgrounds, making next year’s competition fierce.

The seminar features a comprehensive agenda, led by Kawai Juku's academic advisors, who will delve into the latest trends and statistics regarding the UT entrance examinations. Additionally, high school seniors will be treated to lectures focusing on practical answer composition techniques, while younger students from grades 7 to 10 will receive accessible strategies on the skills required for UT admission. To accommodate the interests of this demographic, sessions directed at younger students will be recorded and made available online starting November 10, ensuring that this vital information reaches as many young aspirants as possible.

We believe that your media outlet’s coverage of this significant seminar would greatly benefit the dedicated students and parents interested in pursuing admission to UT. Journalistic inquiries and coverage of the event are warmly welcomed.
