EIKEN Grade Pre-2 Plus case studies
EIKEN Grade Pre-2 Plus · Put your knowledge to work in context.
EIKEN Grade Pre-2 Plus (英検準2級プラス) is a newer EIKEN grade placed between Grade 3 and Grade Pre-2. It is designed for learners who have outgrown basic everyday English but are not yet ready for the full Pre-2 workload: typically junior-high and early high-school students in Japan, and adult learners rebuilding their English. The test checks whether you can handle short and medium reading passages, follow spoken dialogues and announcements, respond in writing to a message and to an opinion prompt, and speak about a passage and a picture in an interview-style session. Some administrations are computer-delivered and some paper-based, so check which type you are booking. The EIKEN Grade Pre-2 Plus case studies are 5 cases and about 3,449 words.
