1A ray of light hits a plane mirror so that the angle between the incoming ray and the mirror surface is 50°. What is the angle of reflection, measured from the normal?
2An object is placed beyond twice the focal length of a convex lens, and a screen on the other side shows a clear image. Which statement correctly describes that image?
3During a thunderstorm over the Genkai Sea, a student sees a lightning flash and hears the thunder 5.0 seconds later. If sound travels at 340 m/s in air, about how far away was the lightning?
4A student cycles 1500 m from home to school in 5 minutes at a steady speed. What is the average speed in metres per second?
5A spring stretches 2.0 cm when a 1.0 N weight is hung from it, and the extension stays proportional to the load. How far will it stretch when a 3.5 N weight is hung from it?
6Passengers on a standing bus lurch forward when the bus brakes suddenly. Which property of matter best explains this?
7A wooden block is pulled across a table at constant speed by a spring scale reading 2.5 N. The student then pulls harder, making the scale read 4.0 N, while the kinetic friction stays at 2.5 N. What is the net force on the block now?
8Why does a wide rucksack strap feel more comfortable on your shoulder than a narrow cord carrying the same load?
9A brick weighing 60 N rests on a table on a face of area 0.02 m². What pressure does the brick exert on the table?
10A metal weight hangs from a spring scale and reads 4.0 N in air. When the weight is lowered until it is completely under water, the scale reads 3.2 N. What is the buoyant force on the submerged weight?
About the Fukuoka Entrance Science Exam
The Fukuoka Public High School Entrance Examination science paper is set by the Fukuoka Prefectural Board of Education. The 50-minute, 60-point exam is held on the single examination day (March 10, 2026) with identical problems across the prefecture, and covers physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science through experiment- and graph-based written questions. This page provides 100 original English-language multiple-choice practice questions with detailed explanations as a study adaptation — not an official translation, format simulation, or substitute for written constructed-response practice.
Assessment
The real Fukuoka science subject is a 50-minute paper scored out of 60 points, taken on the single examination day of the general selection (March 10, 2026), when all five subjects are sat with identical problems across the prefecture. It balances physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science through experiment- and graph-based written questions. Admission combines the 300-point five-subject examination with the 45-point junior-high report (chousasho) using an A-group/B-group ranking method, and some courses apply weighted scoring (English ×1.5 for English courses; mathematics and science ×1.5 for science-mathematics courses). This local bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation with 100 original practice items.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this question bank the official Fukuoka past paper?
No. These are 100 original English-language multiple-choice practice questions written as a study adaptation. The official Fukuoka paper is a Japanese-language written exam with experiment- and graph-based constructed-response questions, so use this bank to build knowledge and speed, and practice official problems for the real written format.
How is the Fukuoka science exam structured?
The official science paper is 50 minutes long and scored out of 60 points, balancing physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science through experiment- and graph-based constructed-response questions. For the Reiwa 8 (2026) general selection all five subjects were held on a single day, March 10, 2026, with identical problems across the prefecture.
How is admission decided for Fukuoka public high schools?
