Q. There is the possibility that I will arrive late for my examination due to delays or suspension in public transportation services. (examination venues in Japan)
A. In such cases, please immediately contact the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) at 03-6407-7457.
Q. I overslept, and will not be able to arrive at the examination venue by the starting time of the Japanese as a Foreign Language test (9:30 a.m. when taking EJU at examination venues in Japan).
A. If you enter the examination room by 9:40 a.m., it will be possible to take your Japanese as a Foreign Language test. If you do not arrive by 9:40 a.m., that will not be possible. In such cases, however, you will still be able to take the afternoon subjects (Japan and the World, Science and Mathematics).
Q. What if I have forgotten to bring my examination voucher?(examination venues in Japan)
A. Before your exam begins, report to the “Temporary Examination Voucher Counter” set up at the test venue and present a valid personal identification (passport or residence card). Once you have been issued a “Temporary Examination Voucher,” you will be able to take EJU as scheduled.
Q. What type of personal identification should I bring with me? (examination venues in Japan)
A. Please bring your passport or residence card.
Q. Due to personal reasons,what if I would prefer to not take EJU as scheduled?
A. There is no need to contact us if you cannot take EJU as scheduled. However, no refunds will be made of your examination fees if not taking EJU for such reasons.
Q. Is it possible to borrow pencils or erasers on-site to take EJU?
A. No writing implements can be provided at the examination venues. Therefore, be sure to bring an HB (hard black) pencil and eraser to your assigned venue.
Q. May I use mechanical pencils to take EJU?
A. No, mechanical pencils can not be used. Be sure to bring an HB (hard black) pencil to use in taking all exams.
Q. Is it allowed to write notes on the question booklets?
A. Yes, you may write notes on your question booklets. However, be sure to write your answers on the proper answer sheets. Writing your answers only on question booklets will prevent your scores from being counted. Question booklets will be collected after the examination, and must not be taken out of the room by examinees.
Q. Can I take the question booklets and the answer sheets?
A. No, you can’t. Taking question booklets or answer sheets out of the room(or attempting to do so) after the exam will be considered prohibited behavior. In such cases, your answers will not be graded.
