■　Regarding the Examination for Japanese
　 　University Admission for International
　 　Students (EJU)

　If you are going on to university, taking the EJU is most likely necessary. Accordingly, a large number of students who pursued further education have taken the exam.

　Students with a high score on the EJU tend to apply for universities that are known to be highly competitive. These students are enrolled in the advanced classes at SNG. At our student consultation services, we create graphs of EJU scores and the universities those students were accepted to, on which we base our student consultations. See below for a sample.

■　Regarding the Japanese Language
　 　Proficiency Test

　Universities, colleges and professional schools look at whether or not you have passed the first (highest) or second level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. The file below shows the percentage of students who passed the first/second level of the test, according to class level. The reason the success rate for Level 2 declines for those students in or above the advanced 2 class is because those students believe that if they are in the advanced class, they should take the highest level of the test instead of the second, and go on to take Level 1 instead. Therefore, if you are aiming to pass Level 2 of the test, you should at least have completed the intermediate 2 class at SNG. If you are aiming to pass Level 1, you should at least have completed our advanced 1 class, as the chance of passing the test is over 50% for those students who do so.

　 　　Proficiency Test vs Class level （PDF）

　We have Japanese Language Proficiency Test prep-courses here at SNG for those taking the test. They are held in the summer (June to September) and in the fall (October to December), each consisting of 8 sessions. The file below is a comparison of the proportion of students who passed after taking the prep-course, and those who passed without taking the prep-course. It clearly shows that there is a better chance of passing the test if you have taken the prep-course.
