Japan's annual national university entrance examination began on Saturday.
The number of applicants taking the exam has increased by about 9,300, or 17 percent from last year, exceeding 553,000.
The examination is offered to students attending low-fee pubic universities. The increased number of students taking the exam this year reflects the fact that more students have chosen to attend less expensive universities amid the continuing economic slump.
On the first day, the students are being tested on civics, geography, history, Japanese and foreign languages, including an English listening test. Applicants will be tested on science and mathematics on Sunday.
