Hiroshima Entrance Japanese study guide

Hiroshima Entrance Japanese is the Japanese-language component of Hiroshima University's own entrance examination for international applicants, rather than a general certificate like the JLPT. It exists to answer one question the university cares about: can you follow a lecture, read assigned academic texts, and write a coherent argument in Japanese once you are enrolled? The result is used inside Hiroshima's selection process, so it only carries weight for admission to that university, though some faculties also use it as a placement indicator after enrolment. The exam is aimed at non-native speakers applying to Japanese-medium programmes, and it tests four interlocking skills: reading comprehension of expository and academic prose, grammar and vocabulary handled in context, kanji recognition and correct written forms, and a timed composition. The Hiroshima Entrance Japanese study guide has 4 sections and about 1,111 words.
