Purpose of the Examination The purpose of this examination is to test whether students from other countries have the basic scholastic ability in science considered necessary for studying at theundergraduate level at a Japanese university. The examination consists of physics, chemistry, and biology; examinees select two of these subjects. The questions are classified according to each of these three subjects; each subject section has questions and a list of relevant terminology.
