English exam preparation
For faculties and departments requiring English proficiency for admission, some universities create and administer their own English examinations, while others require submission of scores from the following English tests. Our school offers an "English" course to cultivate foundational English skills and applied abilities.
TOEFL・TOEIC・IELTS
When requiring English proficiency tests, many national university corporations request submission of test scores such as TOEFL.
Interview Preparation
At our school, homeroom teachers conduct interview practice after school. Subsequently, other faculty members conduct mock interviews for interested students, guiding them to approach the entrance exams with confidence.
Graduate School Entrance Exam Preparation
Guidance to assist with graduate school entrance exam preparation—such as determining research topics and drafting research proposals—will be provided during the required exam preparation classes.
Following this, individual guidance will be provided on each student's proposal and interview content.
Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT)
Most students take the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) each year to pursue higher education or employment in Japan. While the test format changed in 2010 and questions are no longer published, basic Japanese skills continue to be developed through daily classes. Once students enter intermediate-level classes, they can take test preparation classes during the afternoon elective required courses.
Opening of JLPT Preparation Classes
By understanding the grammar and vocabulary expressions at each level and repeatedly solving practice problems to become familiar with the question formats, you will aim for your target score.
