Eiken(R) passing announcement! Failed...but next time! If you know how much time you need to study, you can find the way to pass! Passing Time Navi", a tool that is completely free and can be used without registration, is now available!

Study Studio Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Koichi Suzuki; hereinafter "the Company") announced today that on February 17, 2025 (Monday), a new function, "Passing Time Navi," will be released on its web service for Eiken(R) students, "STASTA Apps," in conjunction with the online announcement of results for the Eiken(R) first round exam. The new feature is designed to help users who have not passed the exam and have not yet passed the exam.

With this function, when an unsuccessful candidate uploads the result screen (screenshot with CSE score and elementary scores) from the official Eiken(R) website, the system calculates the study time required to pass the exam and presents several plans such as "Balanced," "Listening Focus," "Writing Focus," and others. The system provides users with specific study guidelines for a second attempt, such as those who can accomplish the test on their own and those who have difficulty managing their own studies can receive coaching at our online Eiken tutoring service, "Sta-Sta LIVE Eiken".

1] Why "Passing Time Navi" is necessary?

(1) Eliminate hesitation after failing

The official announcement of EIKEN(R) first test pass/fail will be made on Monday, February 17, 2025, and many students will confirm whether they have passed or failed the test. While successful candidates will move on to the second round (speaking) examination, unsuccessful candidates tend to have vague concerns such as "Will I really pass next time?" and "How much study will be required? As a result, they often end up wasting time without taking action. By clarifying the required amount of study time in "numerical" terms, the revenge for the next time can be turned into a "concrete plan.

(2) How to make the most of your score

The official Eiken(R) results include Reading, Listening, and Writing scores and CSE scores, so you can generally grasp "how many points you are missing. However, it does not tell us how many questions we need to improve and how many hours of study we need to do in order to close the gap. Pass Time Navi" was developed to fill this gap, presenting users with a data-driven study plan.

【2】How Pass Time Navi works

1. reading scores from a screenshot

Users take a screenshot of the Eiken(R) official website's pass/fail page and upload about two pictures to Stasta Apps with a clear image of their CSE scores and prime scores (number of correct answers) for Reading, Listening, and Writing. Our unique image analysis technology automatically reads these images and calculates the difference from the passing standard. 2.

Based on the shortfall, the system calculates "how many more questions need to be answered correctly.

The system determines how many more questions you need to score in each of Reading, Listening, and Writing to reach the CSE score standard required by the EIKEN(R). Based on past data, the system estimates "how much your CSE score can increase per correct answer" and visualizes the missing score in each area by converting it into the number of correct answers. 3.

3. recommended study time based on the number of additional correct answers

For example, if the number of additional correct answers in Reading is 3, Listening is 5, and Writing is equivalent to 2 points, a study time model based on the instructional know-how of the STAR LIVE Eiken will be applied, and the following recommendations will be given: "15 hours for Reading, 30 hours for Listening, and 25 hours for Writing, Writing: 25 hours to get within the passing range" and so on.

Simultaneous presentation of three different plans

The system displays multiple patterns in a single estimation, such as a plan to improve all areas in a well-balanced manner, a plan to focus on listening to earn points, and a plan to improve writing to pass the test. Since each person has different areas of weakness and strengths, we have prepared multiple ways to improve scores in the shortest amount of time. Students can easily choose to focus on listening because their current listening skills are extremely weak.

3] Usage scenarios for Pass Time Navi

1) Immediately after learning that the applicant has failed the first examination

By accessing the "Passing Time Navi," students who have received a failing grade can intuitively grasp how much they need to study to pass the next exam, and quickly decide on their next action (or measures to take for the next first exam if they cannot take the second exam). 2.

2. there is little time left to take the exam, but you want to try again

Many students are busy with school or work and have difficulty finding time to study. If you find that you need a total of 50 hours to pass the exam, you can compare it with your own schedule and make an early decision whether to do it on your own or ask a cram school to help you. 3.

3. if it is too difficult, consider cram school

For students who think "it seems a bit tough to study on your own" after looking at the simulation of study time, we introduce coaching at STAR STAR LIVE Eiken. The coach will break down the study plan into smaller pieces and manage them such as "what to do and how many hours by when," making it easier to eliminate the anxiety of not being able to complete the work.

4】How much do I need to study to pass the exam?

1. even if it seems like a lot of time, having an indicator will motivate you.

Many Eiken(R) test takers are concerned that "I want to pass the test next time, but I don't know how much effort I need to put in. When they see "Balanced: 80 hours," "Listening Focus: 60 hours," "Writing Focus: 70 hours," etc. on the "Pass Time Navigator," they are often surprised to learn that it takes more time than they thought. However, having concrete numbers gives them motivation and a plan for learning. 2.

2. accuracy is guaranteed based on actual results, despite individual differences and the difficulty of each test

Of course, there are many variables such as learning efficiency, strengths and weaknesses, and the level of difficulty of each test, but we have provided a rough estimate based on a model derived from the results of our online tutoring service, "Sta-Sta LIVE Eiken". The time allotment is a reliable model, as many students have actually passed the exam in a short period of time by studying with this time allocation.

5】You can freely choose whether you want to "study by yourself" or "study at a cram school.

Advantages for Self-Study Groups

By having a numerical value, it is possible to calculate backward and say, "Two hours a day for one and a half months will be enough," thus making it possible to study systematically. Self-study is also economical and easy to manage your schedule as long as you maintain your motivation. 2.

2) Advantages of using STARSTAR LIVE EIKEN

On the other hand, if you are not good at self-management or do not know how to improve in a particular area, the use of online tutoring is presented as an option. The major advantage is that you can manage daily tasks and receive corrections and feedback, preventing you from falling behind schedule and bringing you closer to passing the exam for sure.

3. free counseling

Users who are not sure about the plan can apply for free counseling and discuss the plan based on the study time simulation with the teacher.

6】Future Prospects

1. improvement of accuracy through data collection

The algorithm will be brushed up by receiving feedback on the study time guidelines given by users in this Pass Time Navigator and actual study results. There is room to incorporate more detailed conditions (age, English study history, number of tests, etc.), and we plan to further individualize the algorithm in future updates. 2.

2. to become a platform for all English learning in the medium to long term

Stasta Apps already offers a wide range of functions, including pass/fail judgment, writing AI scoring, and WPM measurement, and we are aiming to provide total support for English learning in general, with plans for corporate users and advanced AI coaching functions in the future. The Pass Time Navi is positioned as one of the core functions of the service, which will be updated to provide a compass for students who are trying to pass the Eiken(R) through various means, including self-study and cram schools.
