[Z-kai Ektas Eiko Seminar] 'Trial (Thinking) Ability & Descriptive Ability Diagnostic Test' for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Graders Aiming for Top-Tier Middle Schools to be Held in June and July

Z-kai Ektas Eiko Seminar, a specialized cram school for top-tier middle school entrance exams operated by Eiko Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Katsuaki Shimoda), a group company of Z-kai Holdings, will hold a 'Trial (Thinking) Ability & Descriptive Ability Diagnostic Test' in June and July 2026 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-grade elementary students aiming for Tsukukoma, Gosanke, and Komaba Toho middle schools. The test assesses the skills required at the lower grade level for passing these elite schools and objectively analyzes strengths and weaknesses.

'Trial (Thinking) ability'—the capacity to derive correct answers through trial and error on unknown tasks—and 'descriptive ability'—the capacity to express thoughts in writing—are essential for top-tier middle school exams. The diagnostic test focuses on the thinking process rather than complex calculations or advanced knowledge. Results will be returned during an interview, providing feedback and advice for future studies.

Details: Dates are June 27, July 4, and July 11, 2026. Subjects: 30 minutes each for Math/Japanese for 1st graders; 40 minutes each for 2nd/3rd graders. Locations: Ikebukuro, Shibuya, Kichijoji, Jiyugaoka, Tama-Plaza, and Seijo-Gakuen schools. Cost: Free. Deadline: 2 days before each session.
