About the Gunma Entrance English Exam
The Gunma Public High School Entrance Examination English paper is set by the Gunma Prefectural Board of Education. The single 50-minute, 100-point paper, administered at 12:05-12:55 on February 19, 2026 in the Reiwa 8 selection, includes a listening section and written constructed-response questions on the MEXT junior-high Course of Study, covering the four skills of listen, speak, read, and write. Admission combines the five-subject scores (500 points) with the junior-high report (chousasho) and an interview. This page provides 100 original English-language practice questions with detailed explanations as a study adaptation — not an official translation or a simulation of the official format.
Assessment
The real Gunma English examination is a 50-minute paper scored out of 100 points (500 total across five subjects); in the Reiwa 8 (2026) selection it was sat 12:05-12:55 on February 19, 2026 (Thursday), with interviews on February 20 and results announced on March 4, 2026 at 10 a.m. via G-smart.

Gunma Entrance English Study Tips from Top Performers
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the official Gunma English exam include listening?
Yes. The 50-minute English paper opens with listening (risuteningu): in recent cycles Daimon 1 and Daimon 2 are the broadcast sections, worth 9 and 19 points, so listening carries about 28 of the paper's 100 points. Daimon 1 is read once, which makes one-pass concentration essential. This bank cannot reproduce the audio; its listening items are transcript-based study adaptations that train the same comprehension strategies, such as catching corrected times and final agreements.
Are these questions official past exam problems?
No. Although the Gunma 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 also cannot replace the official paper's written constructed-response tasks, so keep practicing free writing separately.
How long is the English paper and what is the maximum score?
The English paper is a single 50-minute exam scored out of 100 points, sat 12:05-12:55 on February 19, 2026 in the Reiwa 8 selection. The five subjects total 500 points, and admission combines these scores with the junior-high report (chousasho) and an interview, with some schools applying weighted scoring (keisha haiten) to specific subjects.
What is the Reiwa 8 (2026) application and results schedule?
Applications were accepted January 5-30, 2026 through the G-smart WEB system, with shigansaki change windows February 3-4 and February 6-10. The academic examination was held on February 19, 2026 (Thursday), interviews on February 20, and results were announced on March 4 at 10 a.m. via G-smart. A follow-up examination (tsuikensa) was held February 26. The second recruitment (sai boshū) ran March 4-9 with interviews March 17 and results March 19.
What grammar and skills does the junior-high English exam cover?
The paper covers the MEXT junior-high English curriculum: tenses including the present perfect and past progressive, passive voice, infinitives and gerunds, relative pronouns, comparatives and superlatives, modals, and indirect questions, plus reading of emails, notices, and short passages, two broadcast listening sections, and two composition tasks. This bank distributes its 100 items across listening, vocabulary, grammar, reading, and word-order composition.
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 February 19, 2026. The five-subject, 50-minute, 100-point structure has been stable across recent cycles, but confirm the Reiwa 9 dates and rules on the Gunma Prefectural Board of Education's own page before relying on them.
