1A ray of light strikes a plane mirror with an angle of incidence of 35° (measured from the normal). What is the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror surface?
A.55°
B.35°
C.70°
D.90°
Explanation: By the law of reflection, the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence, so the reflected ray also makes 35° with the normal. The mirror surface is perpendicular to the normal, so the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror surface is 90° − 35° = 55°.
2An object is placed beyond twice the focal length of a convex lens. What kind of image is formed on a screen on the other side of the lens?
A.A virtual, upright image larger than the object
B.A real, inverted image smaller than the object
C.A real, upright image the same size as the object
D.No image can be formed on the screen
Explanation: When an object is beyond twice the focal length of a convex lens, the refracted rays converge between the focal point and twice the focal length on the far side. The image formed there is real (it can be projected on a screen), inverted, and smaller than the object. This is the same arrangement used in cameras.
3A student claps her hands facing a distant cliff and hears the echo 3.0 seconds later. If the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, how far away is the cliff?
A.510 m
B.1020 m
C.340 m
D.170 m
Explanation: The 3.0 s is the round-trip time: the sound travels to the cliff and back. The total distance covered is 340 m/s × 3.0 s = 1020 m, so the one-way distance to the cliff is 1020 m ÷ 2 = 510 m.
4When a ray of light passes from air into water at an angle, how does its path change?
A.It bends away from the normal because light speeds up in water
B.It continues in a perfectly straight line
C.It bends toward the normal because light slows down in water
D.It is always totally reflected back into the air
Explanation: Light travels more slowly in water than in air, so when it enters water at an angle it is refracted toward the normal (the line perpendicular to the surface). This is why a straight stick partly dipped in water appears bent at the surface.
5A train at rest suddenly starts moving forward. A standing passenger lurches backward. Why does this happen?
A.A forward force pushes the train floor out from under the passenger
B.The passenger is pushed backward by the seat
C.Gravity on the passenger suddenly increases
D.The passenger's body tends to stay at rest due to inertia
Explanation: Inertia is the tendency of an object to maintain its state of motion. When the train accelerates forward, the passenger's body tends to remain at rest, so relative to the moving train the passenger appears to lurch backward. No actual backward force acts on the passenger.
6A runner completes a 400 m race in 64 seconds at a steady pace. What is her average speed?
A.6.25 m/s
B.0.16 m/s
C.25.6 m/s
D.4.00 m/s
Explanation: Average speed is distance divided by time: 400 m ÷ 64 s = 6.25 m/s. This is a typical sprint-speed-scale value, which is a useful sanity check for the answer.
7A wooden block is pulled across a rough horizontal table by a spring scale. The block moves at a constant speed while the scale reads 4 N. What is the frictional force acting on the block?
A.Greater than 4 N, because friction always exceeds the pulling force
B.Exactly 4 N
C.Zero, because the block is moving
D.Equal to the block's weight
Explanation: When an object moves at constant velocity, the net force on it is zero, so the horizontal forces must balance. The friction opposing the motion is therefore exactly equal in magnitude to the 4 N pulling force shown on the spring scale.
8A recording timer marks 50 dots per second on a tape pulled by a moving cart. On one section of the tape, the spacing between consecutive dots is a constant 2.0 cm. What is the cart's speed on that section?
A.100 cm/s
B.50 cm/s
C.4 cm/s
D.250 cm/s
Explanation: At 50 dots per second, the time between consecutive dots is 1/50 s = 0.02 s. The cart covers 2.0 cm in each interval, so its speed is 2.0 cm ÷ 0.02 s = 100 cm/s. Constant spacing also tells us the speed itself is constant.
9A 6.0 kg box rests on a horizontal floor with a contact area of 0.03 m². What pressure does the box exert on the floor? (Assume 100 g exerts a force of 1 N.)
A.200 Pa
B.2000 Pa
C.18000 Pa
D.20 Pa
Explanation: A mass of 6.0 kg exerts a gravitational force of 60 N. Pressure is force divided by area: 60 N ÷ 0.03 m² = 2000 Pa (N/m²). Keeping the area in square meters is essential for the answer to come out in pascals.
10A stone weighs 2.5 N in air. When fully submerged in water, a spring scale reads 1.5 N. What is the buoyant force acting on the submerged stone?
A.2.5 N
B.4.0 N
C.1.0 N
D.1.5 N
Explanation: The buoyant force equals the apparent loss of weight in water: 2.5 N − 1.5 N = 1.0 N. By Archimedes' principle, this 1.0 N also equals the weight of the water displaced by the stone.

About the Fukui Entrance Science Exam

The Fukui Public High School Entrance Examination science paper is set by the Fukui Prefectural Board of Education. The 60-minute, 100-point exam covers physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science through experiment- and graph-based written questions. This page provides 100 original practice questions with detailed explanations.

Assessment

The real Fukui science subject is a 60-minute paper scored out of 100 points, taken on Day 2 (February 19, 2026) of the two-day general selection academic examination, together with social studies. It balances physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science through experiment- and graph-based written questions, and unlike mathematics and English it has no school-selected A/B choice problems. For the Reiwa 8 and Reiwa 9 (2027) general selections the board publishes a list of grade-3 textbook pages excluded from the examinable range; from Reiwa 10 (2028) the full range is examined again. This local bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation with 100 original practice items.

Fukui Entrance Science Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master Ohm's law (V = IR) and electric power (P = VI) calculations, including series versus parallel circuit differences.
2Practice solubility and mass percent concentration calculations, and use fixed mass ratios (Cu:O = 4:1, Mg:O = 3:2) for oxidation problems.
3Drill humidity and dew point problems using saturation water vapor tables, and P-wave/S-wave travel time calculations.
4Memorize Mendelian ratios (3:1 for a heterozygous cross, 1:1 for a test cross) and the gas tests for oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and ammonia.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the whole grade-3 science syllabus examinable?

Not for every year. For the Reiwa 8 (2026) and Reiwa 9 (2027) general selections the board published a list of grade-3 textbook pages excluded from the examinable range in all five subjects, science included. From the Reiwa 10 (2028) general selection the examination returns to the full range, so check the official range notice for your own year before narrowing your revision.

How is the Fukui science exam structured?

The official 60-minute exam is scored out of 100 points and balances the four main fields — physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science — through experiment- and graph-based constructed-response questions. It is held on Day 2 of the general selection, February 19, 2026.

Is this question bank the official Fukui past paper?

No. These are 100 original English-language multiple-choice practice questions written as a study adaptation. The official Fukui paper is a Japanese-language written exam with experiment- and graph-based constructed-response questions.

How is admission decided for Fukui public high schools?

There is no fixed passing score. Each high school combines the five-subject academic examination (100 points per subject, 500 total) with the junior-high report (chousasho) to select applicants.
