Shingakai's Comprehensive Skills Assessment for Pre-Schoolers in April 2026

Shingakai, a pioneer in early childhood education and entrance exam preparation, will offer its annual comprehensive skills assessment for pre-school children, also known as the AB Test, from April 11 to April 19, 2026. This assessment is designed for children born between April 2, 2020, and April 1, 2021, providing parents with insights into their children's readiness for primary school.

Test Structure

The assessment comprises two main parts:

• - Test A includes a paper-based test combined with physical tests.
• - Test B focuses on behavioral observations, individual assessments, along with art and physical expression tests.

These tests evaluate critical areas often required in primary school entrance examinations, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of each child’s abilities.

Personalized Educational Consultation

Upon request, parents will have the opportunity to have individual educational consultations based on their child's test results. These consultations, aimed at guiding parents on supportive educational strategies, are offered free of charge but require a reservation. Notably, students enrolled in the Comprehensive Success Course don’t need to book separately, as consultations are integrated into their program.

Important Details

The assessment will take approximately 120 minutes. Participants are advised to bring the following items:

• - Handkerchief
• - Tissues
• - Water bottle
• - Indoor shoes (for both children and parents)
• - Outdoor shoe bag
• - Convenience payment slip as customer reference
• - Digital membership card (only if participating at the Ikebukuro headquarters)

All items must have the child's name clearly labeled. Unfortunately, there will be no lending services for forgotten items, so it’s essential to come prepared.

Fee Structure

The cost is set at 15,400 yen for members and 19,800 yen for non-members, inclusive of tax. Registration for membership is encouraged for those who wish to benefit from reduced fees.

Payment Options

Payments are made via convenience store payment slips, which will be sent to participants after their registration is confirmed. It’s important to make payments by the due date indicated on the slip to secure your spot in the assessment.
