Ibuki/Ibuki Cram School

Experts in entrance exams for junior and senior high schools in Japan with special admissions programs for returnees

[Seminar on taking the entrance exam for those returning from overseas to be held on January 23rd]

This includes the characteristics of various junior high schools, high schools, and universities in Japan, as well as past entrance exam questions

We will provide you with essential information for those applying through the returnee student quota

In entrance exams for students returning from overseas, some schools consider the characteristics of the school the applicant attended, while others conduct selections based solely on English proficiency

Even though the selection is based on academic ability tests, it is a selection process that is only for students returning from overseas

Using standardized test scores (deviation scores) from domestic general entrance exams to determine your chances of getting into a school is not a valid strategy

Career counseling for students returning from overseas, which is difficult to judge solely by numbers, is provided by those with experience in providing guidance at overseas educational institutions

Please rely on the teacher's intuition. First, look at the characteristics of various schools and past entrance exam questions for students returning from overseas

We hope that this lecture will help you learn more and choose a trustworthy educational institution

Date and time: January 23, 2025 (Thursday) 10am-12pm

Strengths of Ibuki Cram School

◆Monthly tests will be conducted

In partnership with JOBA, students can check on a monthly basis where their current academic ability stands among other test-takers, including domestic students, and how well they have mastered each unit of study

◆Repetitive learning

From January to July, we introduce a year's worth of units, followed by spiral tests to prepare for monthly tests, and then monthly tests themselves. We aim to reinforce learning through seasonal courses

◆Provision of information on entrance examinations for returnees

We provide a wealth of information for those taking the unique entrance examination for returnees from overseas
