“Can’t I Just Study on My Own?”

Of course you can. Any exam can be prepared for independently. But you’ll spend weeks extracting key concepts from dense manuals, guessing which topics are actually tested, and hoping you covered enough.

Or you can let our full-time exam team do that heavy work for you — so you can focus on practice, pass on your first attempt, and spend your evenings with friends and family instead of buried in textbooks.

  • Syllabus already distilled into study notes
  • Skip weeks of sorting through manuals

FAQ

Common questions about SME Consultant 1st Stage Exam 中小企業診断士 一次試験 (経済学・経済政策/財務・会計/企業経営理論/運営管理/経営法務/経営情報システム/中小企業経営・政策)

Is this a full simulation of the first-stage examination?

No. The 20 multiple-choice questions check supporting knowledge and application. They do not simulate the full seven-subject written paper, its complete question mix or timing. The integrated diagnostic task gives open-ended practice, but it is not a substitute for a full mock under current official conditions.

What pass target should I use?

Published guidance states a general first-stage pass basis of at least 60% overall with no subject below 40%, and a 60% subject-pass basis, subject to the examination committee's determination. Treat these as thresholds to plan around, not guarantees, and confirm current criteria with the testing body.

Are 20 questions enough to cover the syllabus?

No. This is a focused preview across four domains, not full syllabus coverage. Use the questions to expose reasoning gaps, then practise each subject with broader mixed sets and calculations.

How should I show calculation work?

Write the formula, substitute with units, compute, and interpret in one sentence. For example, state that EOQ is about 632 units and that ordering and holding costs are approximately balanced at that quantity. A correct number without interpretation is fragile.

Does this cover current Japanese law and support programs?

It teaches general exam-level principles and reasoning, not a current statute-by-statute or program-by-program update. For actual legal, tax, valuation or support-program decisions, confirm the current law, eligibility and official guidance with qualified professionals and the relevant authority.

What must I verify before applying?

Verify dates, fees, venues, permitted materials, application method, result access and any revised pass criteria with the designated testing body, 一般社団法人日本中小企業診断士協会連合会. Published schedules can change.

What am I paying for, and why choose Premium over free resources?

When you’re preparing for an exam, the cost goes beyond study materials. It’s the evenings spent searching for answers, the uncertainty about whether you’re covering the right topics, and the possibility of paying for another exam attempt. Premium gives you a focused way to prepare. Practice questions and explanations help you check your understanding. Wrong-answer review and progress tracking show where to focus next. Flashcards, spaced repetition and timed mocks help you revisit difficult material and practise answering under pressure. The goal is to make your limited study time count—and build confidence from what you can actually answer, rather than how many hours you’ve spent reading. Better preparation can help reduce the risk of a costly retake and the extra time away from work, family or other goals. Think of Premium as an investment in your preparation and professional development: one organised system to help you use your time more effectively and approach exam day with greater confidence. Choose the certification and access period you need, with a one-time payment and no recurring subscription.
