About the Fukuoka Entrance Japanese Exam
The Fukuoka Public High School Entrance Examination kokugo paper is one of five subject papers in the prefecture-wide academic examination (gakuryoku kensa) administered by the Fukuoka Prefectural Board of Education for admission to prefectural public high schools, with identical problems set across the prefecture. The 50-minute, 60-point exam covers kanji and vocabulary, grammar and language knowledge, modern expository and literary reading, classical Japanese (kobun), and kanbun, and ends with a condition-based composition task (条件作文). This page provides 100 original English-language practice items with explanations as a study adaptation; the official paper requires written constructed responses and composition in Japanese, which MCQ practice does not replace.
Assessment
In the Reiwa 8 (2026) general selection, all five academic subjects were examined on a single day, March 10, 2026, with identical problems across the prefecture (県下同一問題). The kokugo paper lasts 50 minutes, is scored out of 60 points (300 across five subjects), covers the MEXT junior-high kokugo curriculum, and includes a condition-based composition task (条件作文). Admission combines the 300-point academic examination with the junior-high report (chousasho, 45 points) using an A-group/B-group ranking method; some courses apply weighted scoring (English ×1.5 for English courses; mathematics and science ×1.5 for science-mathematics courses). Reiwa 8 introduced a new Web application system: applications were accepted February 9–20 (noon), school-preference changes February 24–27 (noon), and results were announced March 19, 2026 at 9:00 via the Web system.
