Should we do juken?
Junior-high entrance exams (中学受験, chūgaku juken) start with a juku in February of grade 3 and can cost millions of yen. Answer eight questions and see which route fits your child, what it costs according to published figures, and which schools' returnee and international-track rules your child meets.
- Eight questions, about two minutes. No sign-in.
- Rules from each school's own 2027 admissions guide, with links.
- Save the result to your timeline if you want reminders.
Your answers stay in this browser until you choose to save them. A shared link carries the answers but not your child's birth date.
