The EIKEN -- Another common English proficiency test for Japanese people...

Today I used part of previous exam of the EIKEN pre-2nd grade as some exercise for my students. According to the STEP, you should get the 2nd grade if you know what you have learned in high school. However, few of my students could answer pre-2nd level questions with ease.

What is making this kind of things happen? The answer is pretty much easy. Few people can master what they have learned in high school. According to the STEP, you should pass the 1st grade test if you know what you have learned at university. Nowadays, a person with a BA is everywhere, but few people of them have got a STEP 1st grade.
