Sample Fukuoka Entrance English Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Fukuoka Entrance English exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Choose the word that best completes the sentence: 'My grandfather grows rice and vegetables on his farm. He is a ______.'
A.farmer
B.dentist
C.singer
D.scientist
Explanation: A 'farmer' is a person who grows crops or raises animals. The first sentence about growing rice and vegetables defines the job directly.
2Choose the word that best completes the sentence: 'There is ______ milk left in the fridge, so let's buy some on the way home.'
A.a little
B.little
C.few
D.many
Explanation: 'Little' without 'a' means 'almost none,' which matches needing to buy more. 'Milk' is uncountable, so the few/little distinction matters.
3Choose the word that best completes the sentence: 'May I ______ your eraser? I forgot mine at home.'
A.sell
B.borrow
C.lend
D.buy
Explanation: The speaker wants to receive the eraser temporarily, so 'borrow' is correct from the receiver's side. 'Lend' is used by the owner who gives: 'Could you lend me your eraser?'
4Choose the word that is closest in meaning to the underlined word: 'The math test yesterday was very difficult.'
A.easy
B.hard
C.long
D.free
Explanation: 'Difficult' means not easy, so 'hard' is its closest synonym. Both describe something that needs a lot of effort.
5Choose the word that best completes the sentence: 'This suitcase is too ______. I can't carry it up the stairs by myself.'
A.light
B.heavy
C.small
D.new
Explanation: If the speaker cannot carry the suitcase, it must be too 'heavy.' The second sentence about being unable to carry it is the deciding clue.
6Choose the word that best completes the sentence: 'It is ______ today. Let's dry the laundry outside in the garden.'
A.sunny
B.rainy
C.cloudy
D.foggy
Explanation: Drying laundry outside works best in sunshine, so 'sunny' matches the suggestion. After 'It is,' a weather adjective is required.
7Choose the word that matches this meaning: 'a person who makes bread and cakes to sell'.
A.painter
B.driver
C.baker
D.sailor
Explanation: A 'baker' makes bread, cakes, and pastries, often in a bakery. The definition matches exactly.
8Choose the phrase that best completes the sentence: 'It's very hot in this room. Could you ______ the air conditioner?'
A.turn on
B.turn off
C.turn down
D.turn over
Explanation: 'Turn on' means to start a machine, and starting the air conditioner solves the problem of a hot room. The context gives the reason for the request.
9Choose the phrase that best completes the sentence: 'My aunt will ______ my dog while my family is traveling in Hokkaido.'
A.look for
B.look after
C.look at
D.look up
Explanation: 'Look after' means to take care of a person or animal, which fits caring for a dog during a trip. The time phrase 'while my family is traveling' sets up the need for care.
10Choose the word that best completes the sentence: 'We ______ a lot of photos at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine yesterday.'
A.made
B.did
C.took
D.gave
Explanation: The standard collocation is 'take photos,' and the past marker 'yesterday' gives 'took.' 'Make photos,' 'do photos,' and 'give photos' are not natural English.

About the Fukuoka Entrance English Exam

The Fukuoka Public High School Entrance Examination English paper is set by the Fukuoka Prefectural Board of Education. The single 55-minute, 60-point paper opens with a listening test of about 15 minutes and continues with about 40 minutes of written questions, including constructed responses, and it uses identical problems across the prefecture. Admission combines the five-subject academic exam (300 points) with the 45-point junior-high report, and English courses weight the English score 1.5 times. This page provides 100 original English-language practice questions with detailed explanations as a study adaptation — not an official translation, format simulation, or substitute for the official written, constructed-response, and listening work.

Assessment

The real Fukuoka English examination is a 55-minute paper scored out of 60 points: about 15 minutes of listening followed by about 40 minutes of written work, answered largely in writing rather than by marking options. In the Reiwa 8 (2026) general selection, all five subjects were examined on the same day, March 10, 2026, with identical problems across the prefecture, for a five-subject total of 300 points. Admission combines these scores with the 45-point junior-high report (chousasho) using an A-group/B-group ranking method, and some courses apply weighted scoring (for example, English multiplied by 1.5 for English courses). This local bank is an English-language study adaptation providing 100 original practice items.

Time Limit

55 minutes for the English subject paper on March 10, 2026 (results announced March 19, 2026 at 9:00 via the Web application system; for Reiwa 9, the examination is scheduled for March 9, 2027, with results on March 18, 2027)

Passing Score

No fixed pass mark; scored out of 60 points (300 total across 5 subjects); selection combines academic test results with the 45-point junior-high report (chousasho) using an A-group/B-group ranking method, and some courses apply weighted scoring

Exam Fee

JPY 2,100 entrance selection fee, paid through the Fukuoka Prefectural Board of Education Web application system (Fukuoka Prefectural Board of Education)

Fukuoka Entrance English Study Tips from Top Performers

1Because the official paper opens with about 15 minutes of listening before the written section, train with short audio or read-aloud transcripts every day so your ears are warmed up at the start of the exam.
2Review relative pronouns, participle modifiers, and indirect-question word order ('Could you tell me where the bus stop is?'), which are frequent junior-high test points.
3Because the official paper includes written constructed responses, supplement this MCQ bank with regular short free-writing practice in English.
4Simulate exam pacing: practice finishing a written set in about 40 minutes, since that is the time left after the listening test in the real 55-minute paper.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the official Fukuoka English exam include listening?

Yes. The 55-minute English paper begins with a listening test of about 15 minutes, followed by about 40 minutes of written questions. This bank cannot reproduce the audio; its listening items are transcript-based study adaptations that train the same comprehension strategies.

Are these questions official past exam problems?

No. The Fukuoka Prefectural Board of Education publishes past problems and answers on its website, but not as a multiple-choice set. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation aligned to the MEXT junior-high Course of Study — not an official translation or a format simulation — and it cannot replace the official paper's written constructed-response and listening tasks, so keep practicing free writing and real listening separately.

How long is the English paper and what is the maximum score?

The English paper is a single 55-minute exam (about 15 minutes of listening plus about 40 minutes of written work) scored out of 60 points. In the Reiwa 8 general selection it was administered on March 10, 2026, the same day as all other subjects, with identical problems across the prefecture. The five subjects total 300 points, and admission combines these scores with the 45-point junior-high report (chousasho).

Is the English score ever weighted in admission decisions?

Yes. Some courses apply weighted scoring (keisha haiten): for English courses the English score is multiplied by 1.5, and for science-mathematics courses the mathematics and science scores are multiplied by 1.5. There is no single passing score; selection combines the academic exam with the 45-point chousasho using an A-group/B-group ranking method.

How do I apply and what does it cost?

Reiwa 8 introduced a new Web application system. General-selection applications were accepted February 9-20, 2026 (until noon), school-preference changes February 24-27 (until noon), and results were announced on March 19, 2026 at 9:00 via the Web system. The entrance selection fee is JPY 2,100, paid through the Web application system.

How competitive is the general selection?

For Reiwa 8, full-time prefectural schools received 22,854 final applicants for 22,200 places, a ratio of about 1.03 to 1. Competition varies widely by school and course, and because there is no single passing score, your position relative to other applicants to the same school is what matters.
