EJU is not that easy.
Usually those prep schools give u 1 and a half years, if not 2 years to go thru the prep course. I can only tell u tha EJU is not that simple as I had took it last year.

some uni is ok if u can speak english while most unis may require japanese proficiency of JLPT 1 or N1...

EJU is quite tough, my friend's brother who recieved scholarship say he mug like siao for EJU and JLPT 1 in 2 years in parallel during his young days...

Based on website updated as of Aug 9:
Earliest weekday class for ELE2 starts on Aug 18 Tue 1830-2130hrs, earliest date for ELE2 weekend classes start on Sep 26 / Sep 27, one long month away.

Although the website may only show certain dates, there may be unlisted dates that only the staff will tell you directly if you ask them personally if there are like only 1 or 2 available places left. Normally the dates with those classes that are close to full registration will be removed from the website quickly. Thought I let you all know first.

azumangadaioh-san, I just passed my test, too. Thanks for all your help.

And the rest, too.

I went down to register for Ele 2 already... They don't have anymore slots for weekend classes in early Sept. So I had no choice but to take the Sep 26 class.. And now I have to wait for a whole month for my next lesson..

But at least, I can study on my own first.. Read the textbook to know what to expect in Ele2... haha..
