EJU Mathematics Course 1 study guide
EJU Mathematics Course 1 · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) is administered by JASSO as a written examination used by Japanese universities and other schools for international applicants. The Mathematics component is offered as Course 1, aimed at candidates who need a mathematics score for admission but whose intended field does not demand the more advanced Course 2 syllabus. The exam is delivered in Japanese or English, and the Mathematics paper is a written test sat alongside other EJU subjects selected by the candidate. JASSO publishes an official Mathematics syllabus, and a revised syllabus applies to the questions of the 2026 EJU 1st Session, so candidates should study against the version that matches their test date. Preparation should start from the official syllabus and past question booklets released by JASSO, then move to timed practice under exam conditions. Because EJU scores are used by universities in different ways, candidates should also check the score requirements of each school they plan to apply to. Topics on this exam: Mathematics (Course 1 syllabus). The EJU Mathematics Course 1 study guide has 1 section and about 378 words.
01EJU Mathematics Course 1: Algebra, Quadratic Functions, Measurement, and Probability
EJU Mathematics Course 1 tests algebraic manipulation, quadratic functions, plane and solid measurement with trigonometry, and elementary probability. Course 1 does not require calculus, vectors, complex numbers, or matrices; those belong to Course 2. Questions are calculation-heavy and often combine two syllabus areas, so identify the standard form, ratio, or counting model before computing. For radicals, enforce a≥0: √(a²)= a , and rationalise denominators by multiplying by the conjugate.

- Practice questions実数 x についての不等式 2x - 5 < 7 を満たす x の範囲として正しいものを選べ。.
- FlashcardsQuadratic formula. For ax²+bx+c=0 with a≠0, the solutions are x = (−b ± √(b²−4ac))/(2a).
- Cheat sheetQuadratic formula: roots of ax²+bx+c=0 are x = (−b ± √(b²−4ac))/(2a); discriminant D = b²−4ac gives two real roots if D 0, one if D=0, none (real) if D<0.
- Key terms実数 (real number). Any number that can be placed on the number line, including integers, fractions, and irrational numbers such as √2 and π.
- Study planDiagnose current ability by completing a timed, full-length practice test under exam conditions (Course 1 format) and recording raw scores per topic.
- Common mistakesThe formula is memorised as a shape rather than as (−b ± √(b² − 4ac))/2a, so the minus sign on b and the 2a denominator get dropped under time pressure; candidates also confuse b² − 4ac with b² + 4ac when c is positive.
