All examinees, including those outside Japan, can check their results using the EJU Online Application/Score Confirmation Page.

Steps to Check Your Scores:

1. Go to the official EJU Online Portal.
2. Log in using your My Page ID and password (the same as your application credentials).
3. View your scores and download the Score Confirmation Report for reference.

Note: The online result is now the official method for overseas candidates, as physical score reports have been discontinued.

Printing Your Score Confirmation Report

After accessing your scores, you can print the Score Confirmation Report directly from your My Page account. This report serves as an official reference for your university applications.

University Access to Scores

Japanese universities and schools that accept EJU scores for admissions can inquire directly from JASSO after the score release date. This ensures that institutions receive accurate and verified results for their admission process.

What is the EJU Exam?

The EJU assesses the academic and language readiness of foreign students applying to Japanese universities. It includes the following components:

• Japanese as a Foreign Language
• Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology)
• Mathematics (Course 1 or 2)
• Japan and the World (Social Studies)
   

Unlike JLPT, which focuses only on Japanese proficiency, the EJU measures both language skills and subject knowledge, making it a comprehensive requirement for most Japanese universities.

Understanding EJU Scoring

The EJU uses a method called Score Equating, which adjusts scores for potential differences in difficulty across sessions. This ensures that all candidates are evaluated fairly, regardless of the session or test center.

What’s Next After the Results?

Once your scores are available:

• Compare them with your target university requirements.
• Submit your scores to universities (if you didn’t opt for automatic forwarding during registration).
• Prepare for additional admission requirements such as interviews or entrance exams.

If your scores are lower than expected, you can register for the EJU 2025 (Second Session) in November.

Before applying, make sure you understand the EJU Exam Eligibility criteria for international students.
