Possible meanings of 校 - exam?


[Jisho](https://jisho.org/search/%E6%A0%A1%20%23kanji) gives "exam" as one of
the possible meanings of 校, but I was not able to find any words with this
kanji which has a meaning related to "exam". Is there any?

My interest in this comes from the fact that I have started using Helsig's
method to memorize kanji, but it seems counterproductive to me that some
keywords are not related to any meaning of the corresponding kanji. Therefore,
I have decided to replace each of such keywords with one of the corresponding
kanji meanings. There is a keyword "exam" for this kanji and I'm considering
updating it to something which makes more sense, such as "school".

obs: I have looked in the list of words which use this Kanji in Jisho. If
there is a better way to find words which use a kanji, I'd be glad to know




校 does not mean "exam" in the sense of students' written test, but it means
"examination" or "investigation" in the following compounds:

  * 校正 proofreading
  * 校了 proofreading completed
  * 校閲 copyedit / reviewing / proofreading
  * ☆校合 collation (comparison of different versions of the same classical work)
  * 校本 a survey book on different versions of the same classical work
  * ☆勘校 to examine and correct

(☆: rare words, you probably won't ever need them)

As you can see, "exam" is too broad, and it may be better to think of this as
"careful reading". Jisho.org sometimes has errors, so I recommend checking
monolingual dictionaries whenever possible.
