1A cyclist travels 240 m in 12 s at a constant speed. What is the cyclist's speed?
A.20 m/s
B.12 m/s
C.28.8 m/s
D.2 m/s
Explanation: Speed is distance divided by time: 240 m ÷ 12 s = 20 m/s. This is the standard speed formula taught in first-year junior-high physics. Units of m/s require dividing metres by seconds.
2A ray of light strikes a plane mirror with an angle of incidence of 40°. What is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal?
A.50°
B.40°
C.80°
D.130°
Explanation: The law of reflection states that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. Both angles are measured from the normal, so the reflected ray makes a 40° angle with the normal.
3Which of the following objects is attracted to a magnet?
A.An aluminium can
B.A copper wire
C.A steel nail
D.A rubber eraser
Explanation: Magnets attract materials containing iron, nickel, or cobalt. A steel nail contains iron, so it is attracted to a magnet. Aluminium, copper, and rubber are not magnetic materials.
4An object is placed beyond twice the focal length of a convex lens. What image appears on a screen on the opposite side of the lens?
A.An upright virtual 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.A real inverted image larger than the object
Explanation: When an object is beyond twice the focal length, the refracted rays converge between the focal point and twice the focal length on the far side. The image there is real, inverted, and smaller than the object, which is the arrangement used in cameras.
5A student shouts toward a cliff and hears the echo 4.0 s later. If the speed of sound is 340 m/s, how far away is the cliff?
A.1360 m
B.340 m
C.680 m
D.85 m
Explanation: The 4.0 s is the round-trip time for the sound to reach the cliff and return. The total distance is 340 m/s × 4.0 s = 1360 m, so the one-way distance to the cliff is 1360 ÷ 2 = 680 m.
6What is the SI unit of electric current?
A.Volt
B.Watt
C.Ohm
D.Ampere
Explanation: Electric current is measured in amperes (A). The volt measures voltage, the ohm measures resistance, and the watt measures electric power.
7A resistor of 3 Ω is connected to a 6 V battery. What current flows through the resistor?
A.0.5 A
B.2 A
C.18 A
D.9 A
Explanation: Ohm's law states that current equals voltage divided by resistance: I = V ÷ R = 6 V ÷ 3 Ω = 2 A. This relationship is the foundation of all circuit calculations in junior-high science.
8Two resistors of 2 Ω and 4 Ω are connected in series to a 12 V battery. What current flows in the circuit?
A.6 A
B.3 A
C.2 A
D.1 A
Explanation: In a series circuit the total resistance is the sum: 2 Ω + 4 Ω = 6 Ω. By Ohm's law, the current is 12 V ÷ 6 Ω = 2 A. The same current flows through every part of a series circuit.
9Two resistors of 4 Ω each are connected in parallel to an 8 V battery. What is the total current supplied by the battery?
A.1 A
B.2 A
C.4 A
D.8 A
Explanation: In a parallel circuit each resistor receives the full battery voltage, so each branch carries 8 V ÷ 4 Ω = 2 A. The total current is the sum of the branch currents: 2 A + 2 A = 4 A.
10A heater operates on a 100 V supply and draws a current of 5 A. What is its electric power?
A.20 W
B.95 W
C.105 W
D.500 W
Explanation: Electric power is the product of voltage and current: P = V × I = 100 V × 5 A = 500 W. The watt expresses how much energy the appliance converts each second.

About the Fukushima Entrance Science Exam

The Fukushima Public High School Entrance Examination science paper is set by the Fukushima Prefectural Board of Education. The 50-minute, 50-point exam covers physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science through basic-mastery and constructed-response questions on the MEXT junior-high curriculum. This page provides 100 original English-language multiple-choice practice questions with detailed explanations — a study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation.

Assessment

The real Fukushima science subject is a 50-minute paper scored out of 50 points, held on March 4, 2026 as part of the Reiwa 8 early selection (zenki senbatsu) academic examination (five subjects, 50 points each, 250 total). Questions emphasize basic and fundamental mastery plus constructed-response thinking, on the MEXT junior-high Course of Study. Reiwa 8 logistics: applications February 2–6, 2026 through the newly introduced WEB application system; interviews March 4–6, 2026; results announced via the web system on March 16, 2026 (viewable until March 24). A late selection (kouki senbatsu) at under-filled schools uses only the chousasho, an interview, and a short essay — application March 17–18, interview March 24, results March 25, 2026 — with no academic test reused. In the general-selection track (ippan senbatsu) the academic test and the chousasho are weighted equally in principle, though schools may apply weighted scoring to specific subjects; attendance records are not used as selection material for Reiwa 8. This local bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation with 100 original practice items.

Fukushima Entrance Science Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master Ohm's law (V = IR) and electric power/energy (P = VI, E = Pt) 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 vapour tables, and P-wave/S-wave travel time calculations — including preliminary-tremor duration proportions.
4Memorize Mendelian ratios (3:1 for a heterozygous cross, 1:2:1 for incomplete dominance) and the gas tests for oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and ammonia.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Fukushima science exam structured?

The official exam is a 50-minute paper scored out of 50 points, balancing the four main fields — physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science — through basic-mastery and constructed-response thinking questions on the MEXT junior-high Course of Study. It is held on March 4, 2026 in the Reiwa 8 early selection (zenki senbatsu).

Is this question bank the official Fukushima past paper?

No. These are 100 original English-language multiple-choice practice questions written as a study adaptation. The official Fukushima paper is a Japanese-language constructed-response exam, and this bank neither translates it nor simulates its format.

How is admission decided for Fukushima public high schools?

There is no fixed passing score. In the general-selection track (ippan senbatsu) each high school combines the five-subject academic examination (50 points per subject, 250 total) with the junior-high report (chousasho), weighted equally in principle; schools may apply weighted scoring to specific subjects. For Reiwa 8, attendance records are not used as selection material.

What is the late selection (kouki senbatsu)?

Under-filled schools run a late selection after the main results: applications March 17–18, 2026, an interview and short essay on March 24, and results on March 25, 2026. It uses only the chousasho, the interview, and the essay — the academic test is not reused.

Do these details apply to the next (Reiwa 9 / 2027) entrance examination?

The figures on this page describe the Reiwa 8 cycle, whose academic examination was sat on March 4, 2026. The Fukushima Prefectural Board of Education published its Reiwa 9 (2027 entry) school-by-school selection-method list on July 14, 2026 and has scheduled the full Reiwa 9 implementation guidelines for early October 2026. The five-subject, 50-minute, 50-point structure has been stable across recent cycles, but confirm the Reiwa 9 dates and rules on the board's own page before relying on them.
