The Eiken and the KAAT Test , Sunday Intensive Course

Although many of this year's 'juken' students are taking an entrance exam on the same day that the Eiken is going to be held, other juken students should seriously consider taking the Eiken this time around or at the latest in June. The first year of junior high school is busier than many of you might expect, and it will be difficult to find the time to study English as intensively as you have during this exam season. This might be your best chance...at least for a year or two. 

5th graders, I strongly encourage you to take the Eiken this January, even if you feel you aren't quite ready. Practice makes perfect, and for some students, the first attempt at any given level ends up being a practice run. Take the test, if you don't pass, find out what you need help with, and pass it next June. Studying for the Eiken can also help you with the KAAT test, our own placement test for students taking junior high school entrance exams. You'll be taking that soon so you'll want to be ready.

J1 students, glad to hear that many of you are finally going to take the Eiken. I realize that you were exhausted from last year's juken season, but I think we all agree it's time to get serious about English again. Eiken 1st grade for starters, then the PSAT. 

Giggles came to the Sunday intensive course, but she managed to keep the giggling under control. Thank you.
