As of November 11, when the postponement of the use of the English private examination by Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Hagita was announced, the number of applicants for the first examination in 1 was 2020.After that, it was said that reservation applications were made until the deadline of November 1.Candidates requesting a refund said to the association, "Because we announced that it was postponed as a national policy, we would like to withdraw the deduction of the actual fee when refunding and refund 29 yen as it is."On the other hand, many high school students said, "I'm preparing for the exam, and I don't know what to do from now on. S-CBT is adopted even at private universities that do not use the university entrance exam English grade provision system, so I will continue to implement it as it is. I want it. "
In view of these opinions, the situation after the postponement announcement, and the external environment, the conclusions made regarding S-CBT are as follows.

On the other hand, for about 30 test takers who have already applied for reservations, a special price will be set if they wish to take the test without canceling. Except for Level 3, you can take the test at a lower cost than the conventional Eiken examination fee.The venue will be set up in 101 areas (planned) nationwide, with a capacity that is 2% higher than that of reservation applicants.The implementation date is under scrutiny.
If you wish to have a refund of the reservation fee of 3000 yen, we are not at the stage where we can announce it, and we will announce it as soon as discussions with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology are completed and the response is decided.
Reservation applicants will apply from November 11th to December 29th (scheduled) in line with the announcement of future support by the university that had announced the adoption of the university entrance examination English provision system on November 11th.
