100+ Free Hyogo Entrance Math Practice Questions

Not entirely. Hyogo's mathematics paper mixes lettered-choice items with items where you write a final numeric or algebraic answer on the answer sheet, and Hyogo is known for including very few extended free-writing items. So option-picking is part of the real paper, but you must also be able to produce the answer yourself. This bank is an English-language four-option MCQ study adaptation, not official past problems or a reproduction of the official layout: real selection items are not limited to four options, and the real problems carry far more text, figures, and graphs than these stems. Work past papers under time pressure — roughly 30-35 sub-questions in 50 minutes gives you under two minutes each.

No. Although the Hyogo 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 2017 MEXT junior-high Course of Study, with genuine worked-calculation items across numbers and expressions, equations, functions, geometry, and probability.

The mathematics paper is a single 50-minute exam scored out of 100 points, sat on March 12, 2026 in the Reiwa 8 general selection (10:20-11:10). The five subjects total 500 points, which are halved to 250 and added to the 250-point junior-high report card (naishinten) for a 500-point selection score in which the academic test and the report card carry equal weight (1:1).

Hyogo uses grade-3 (third-year junior high) ratings only: the main five subjects (kokugo, social studies, mathematics, science, English) rating total is multiplied by 4 for 100 points, and the practical four subjects (music, art, health and physical education, technology and home economics) rating total is multiplied by 7.5 for 150 points, giving a 250-point report-card score. The academic test (500 halved to 250) and this 250-point report card are weighted equally (1:1).

Recommendation and special selection was held February 16, 2026 (some schools February 17) with results February 20 at 14:00. General selection applications were accepted February 25-27, 2026 with application-change through March 4 at 12:00 and the JPY 2,200 fee paid with Hyogo prefectural revenue stamps or online settlement. The academic examination was held on March 12, 2026 (Thursday), with selection results announced on March 19, 2026 (Thursday) at 10:00.

Most full-time general and comprehensive courses let applicants list a first and second choice; the first-choice school receives a bonus of about 20-30 points depending on the school district (for example about 25 points in the first district and about 30 in the fourth and fifth), while the second choice receives no bonus. Specialized courses use single selection (tandoku senbatsu) with no second choice.

The paper covers the 2017 MEXT junior-high mathematics curriculum: numbers and expressions (including square roots), linear/simultaneous/quadratic equations and inequalities, proportional/linear/quadratic functions, plane geometry with proofs and the Pythagorean theorem, solid geometry and measurement, and data analysis with probability. This bank distributes its 100 items across those six strands.

Most figures on this page describe the Reiwa 8 cycle, whose academic examination was sat on March 12, 2026. For the Reiwa 9 (2027 entrance) cycle, the Board has published the schedule: recommendation and special selection on February 16, 2027 (some schools February 17) with results February 22, 2027, and the general-selection academic examination on March 11, 2027 (Thursday) with results March 18, 2027 (Thursday). The five-subject, 50-minute, 100-point structure and the equal-weight (1:1) selection method have been stable, but confirm the current year's application windows, fees, and selection ratios on the Hyogo Prefectural Board of Education's own pages before relying on them.
