COMPASS Inc. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Jun Sato; hereinafter COMPASS), which develops and provides the learning e-portal and AI-based learning material 'Qubena', announces that starting in fiscal year 2026, it will offer its digital testing (CBT) service 'Qubena Test' for elementary and junior high schools as a standalone service, available regardless of whether 'Qubena' has been adopted. The target audience is local governments, and adoption on a prefectural basis is also possible. Furthermore, it plans to support the integration of local governments' original questions, making it possible to conduct municipal academic ability surveys and other assessments on 'Qubena Test'.
The digitalization of testing in schools (CBT migration) is one of the important themes in NEXT GIGA, as represented by the transition of the National Assessment of Academic Ability to CBT. In addition to promoting an independent learning cycle through speedy feedback unique to digital formats such as automated scoring, it is expected to realize personalized optimal learning using learning data, and promote work style reforms by reducing the administrative burden on teachers.
To accelerate this move toward CBT in schools and to realize 'personalized and independent learning' and 'reduction of teachers' workloads'—which it has pursued primarily through Qubena as a drill material—in the realm of testing as well, COMPASS released the CBT service 'Qubena Test' for elementary and junior high schools in FY2025. It has been providing it to local governments that had adopted the 'Qubena' learning e-portal + AI material.
Now, in response to requests from many local governments and to promote independent learning through 'Qubena Test' in more schools, starting in FY2026, we will begin offering 'Qubena Test' as a standalone service for local governments, allowing them to use 'Qubena Test' regardless of whether they use 'Qubena'. Prefectural-level adoption is also possible, backing initiatives such as widespread CBT utilization.
In addition to the comprehension check tests for each textbook unit built into 'Qubena Test', we plan to provide an optional feature within FY2026 that allows local governments to load their own unique questions, such as municipal academic surveys, and administer them on 'Qubena Test'. It can be utilized not only for daily comprehension checks like unit tests and color tests, but also for large-scale test administration at the municipal and prefectural levels, such as academic ability surveys.
