Gifu Entrance Japanese Study Tips from Top Performers
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the real Gifu kokugo entrance paper multiple-choice?
No. The official paper is answered in writing in Japanese, mixing short knowledge items with passage-based constructed responses and a composition task (kadai sakubun). The MCQs here are an English-language study adaptation — not an official translation or format simulation — so practice writing out complete Japanese responses and compositions as well.
Are these questions official past exam problems?
No. Although the Gifu Prefectural Board of Education publishes the actual examination problems after each sitting, it does not publish them as a multiple-choice set. This bank is an original English-language MCQ study adaptation aligned to the MEXT junior-high Course of Study; it cannot replace the official paper's written constructed-response and composition tasks, so keep practicing free writing in Japanese separately.
How long is the kokugo paper and what is the maximum score?
The kokugo paper is a single 50-minute exam scored out of 100 points, sat 9:20-10:10 on March 4, 2026 in the Reiwa 8 first selection. The five subjects total 500 points, and admission combines these scores with the junior-high report (chousasho), with some schools applying weighted scoring (keisha haiten) to specific subjects.
What is the Reiwa 8 (2026) application and results schedule?
First-selection applications were accepted February 6 (noon) to February 12 (noon), 2026 through the WEB application system, with a change window on February 13-17. The academic examination was held on March 4, 2026, interviews on March 4-5, and results were announced on March 13, 2026. A second selection at under-filled schools was held on March 19, 2026 with results on March 24.
What parts of the junior-high kokugo curriculum does the exam cover?
The paper covers the MEXT junior-high kokugo curriculum: grade-assigned kanji and vocabulary, grammar and language knowledge including honorific language (keigo), modern expository and literary reading, classical Japanese (kobun), and kanbun, plus a composition task. This bank distributes its 100 items across those strands, plus writing and response-planning items that support the official composition work.
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 Gifu Prefectural Board of Education has already published its Reiwa 9 (2027 entry) selection guidelines. The five-subject, 50-minute, 100-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.
