About the Kagawa Entrance Science Exam
The Kagawa Public High School Entrance Examination science paper is created by the Kagawa Prefectural Board of Education. The single 50-minute, 50-point paper, sat on March 9, 2027 (Day 1 of the Reiwa 9 general-selection academic test, at 14:30), is a written exam on the 2017 MEXT junior-high Course of Study, covering biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science across four major questions, with short constructed explanations required on a printed answer sheet. Admission combines the 250-point academic test with the 220-point report card on a five-band correlation table, plus an interview. This page provides 100 original English-language practice questions with detailed explanations as a study adaptation — not a simulation of the official format.
Assessment
The real Kagawa science examination is a 50-minute paper scored out of 50 points (250 total across five subjects); in the Reiwa 9 (2027) general selection all five subject papers are sat on a single Day 1, March 9, 2027 (science at 14:30), with Day 2 (March 10, 2027) reserved for the aptitude test (tekisei kensa) and interview (mensetsu), a makeup (tsuiken) on March 13–14, 2027, and general-selection results announced on March 18, 2027 (Thursday). The paper is created by the Kagawa Prefectural Board of Education on the 2017 (Heisei 29) MEXT junior-high Course of Study, covering biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science across four major questions; frequent Kagawa topics include neutralization and ions and batteries, genetics and cell division, photosynthesis, vertebrates, mass calculation in reactions, ionization tendency, pressure, springs, electric current, motion and energy, and electric power, with lettered-choice and short constructed-response items. Admission (general selection, ippan senbatsu) combines the 250-point academic test with the 220-point report card (chōsasho): the two are, in principle, treated equally, each divided into five bands and combined on a correlation table (sōkan hyō), plus an interview for all applicants. This local bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation providing 100 original practice items.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the real Kagawa science entrance paper multiple-choice?
Not entirely. Kagawa's science paper mixes lettered-choice items with short constructed-response items that require explaining mechanisms, organized as four major questions covering biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science. 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 every stem is in Japanese.
Are these questions official past exam problems?
No. Although the Kagawa 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, covering biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science with concept, calculation, and experimental-reasoning items.
How long is the science paper and what is the maximum score?
The science paper is a single 50-minute exam scored out of 50 points, sat on March 9, 2027 (Day 1 of the Reiwa 9 general-selection academic test, at 14:30, alongside the other four subjects). The five subjects total 250 points and are combined with the 220-point report card on a five-band correlation table in selection, plus an interview for all applicants.
Which science topics does Kagawa test most often?
Frequent Kagawa topics include neutralization and ions and batteries (the HCl + NaOH neutralization experiment, batteries and ions), genetics and cell division (Mendel's laws, plant-root growth, cell-division order), photosynthesis, vertebrates, mass calculation in reactions, ionization tendency, pressure, springs, electric current, motion and energy, and electric power. This bank weights its 100 items across biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science accordingly.
Does this bank include real calculation questions?
Yes. About a third of the 100 items are genuine worked-calculation questions with numeric answers — mass conservation and mass calculation in reactions, Ohm's law (V = IR), electric power (P = VI = I²R), pressure (P = F/A), springs (F = kx), and speed and acceleration — not just definitional recall.
What is the Reiwa 9 (2027) examination and results schedule?
For the Reiwa 9 (2027 entrance) cycle, the general-selection application window is February 12–15, 2027 with preference change February 17–19, 2027. The academic examination is held March 9–10, 2027 (all five academic subjects on Day 1, March 9; the aptitude test and interview on Day 2, March 10), with a makeup March 13–14, 2027, and general-selection results announced March 18, 2027 (Thursday).
What parts of the junior-high science curriculum does the exam cover?
The paper covers the 2017 MEXT junior-high science curriculum across biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science. This bank distributes its 100 items across those four fields, with calculation items in chemistry and physics.
