EIKEN interview practice
Practise your EIKEN second-stage (interview) responses
Choose a grade to see a Petra-original question. Practise saying your answer out loud. No recording or scoring.
This is a self-practice tool, not the official EIKEN second stage and not a Petra tutor's interview coaching.
What the current second stage includes
A high-level outline of the current format only: not the actual questions, illustrations or topic cards.
- Oral reading
- A question about the passage's content
- Illustration questions
- An everyday-life opinion question
This practice focuses on building clear spoken responses. It does not simulate every part of the official second-stage interview, such as oral reading, passage questions or illustration/narration tasks.
Tell me about a place you like to visit on weekends.
Extra Petra practice questions
- Who do you usually go there with?
- What do you do there?
Response starters
- I like to visit...
- I usually go with...
- There, I...
This only records that you practised. What you said is never saved or sent.
Petra self-check
Use these prompts to review what you said. This is not official EIKEN marking.
About official materials
Current exam formats and past papers are published directly by the Eiken Foundation of Japan, the body that administers EIKEN, on its own official website. Petra does not reproduce EIKEN questions, audio, sample answers or logos, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Eiken Foundation. This page describes the format in Petra's own words and provides tools to use alongside the official materials.
