Makeup national university entrance exams begin

Supplementary preliminary entrance examinations for Japanese universities began on Saturday.

A record-high number of people, exceeding 900, are expected to take the two-day tests this year due to the H1N1 flu pandemic.

Hundreds of public and private universities and junior colleges across Japan will use the results of the exams in their admissions procedures.

The additional tests are usually held at 2 sites, one week after the first ones. But this year, test sites were prepared in all prefectures to accommodate a larger number of applicants. The interval between the first and supplementary exams was also extended to 2 weeks so that flu patients could recover.
Exam organizers say 972 people, or more than 4 times last year's figure, submitted applications for the additional exams.

On the first day, applicants take exams in civics, geography, history, Japanese, and foreign languages. They will take science and mathematics tests on Sunday.
