Sogo Shikaku Gakuin launches free reference service for architect exam

Sogo Shikaku Gakuin, operated by Sogo Shikaku Co., Ltd., has launched a free online service providing original reference answers for the 2026 (Reiwa 8) 2nd Class Architect Design and Drawing Examination.

The service allows examinees to view sketches (eskis) starting at 21:00 on the day of the exam, September 13, followed by full drawings on September 15. Additionally, the academy will release instructional videos explaining grading points on September 15.

To support students, the academy is also offering a printed ‘Thorough Analysis Guide’ featuring annotated completed drawings and alternative sketch examples, scheduled for dispatch in late October. An interactive poll will also be held on the official X (formerly Twitter) account to address common concerns following the examination.
