• The beginning of this century has seen a sudden growth in the amount of research conducted on university entrance exams inJapan. While this new research looks at many aspects of the exams, some researchers have started to focus on analysis of the exams forthe purpose of improving their quality. This paper is a continuation of an action research cycle through which feedback on the performance of the exams is provided for future exam construction. Using the statistical tool of Rasch measurement, which provides information on item difficulty and examinee ability on a single scale, this paper explores the 2004 and 2005 English entrance exam subtests. The results show that while the exams are adequately measuring the examinees for the purpose of entrance selection, some adjustments could be made to the questions to improve theoverall quality and make the exams even better.
