About the Kochi Entrance English Exam
The Kochi Public High School Entrance Selection English paper is created by the Kochi Prefectural Board of Education. The single 50-minute, 50-point written paper, sat in the A-schedule academic test (Reiwa 9 / 2027 cycle: March 3-4, 2027), includes a listening test (A-schedule only) and covers reading, grammar, and a 25-or-more-word email composition, on the 2017 MEXT junior-high Course of Study. Admission treats the academic test (250) and the report card (260) roughly equally, together with the statement of intent, interview, and, for some schools, a practical test; there is no fixed pass mark. This page provides 100 original English-language practice questions with detailed explanations as a study adaptation — not an official translation, not a reproduction of the official paper, and not a format simulation.
Assessment
The real Kochi English examination is a 50-minute paper scored out of 50 points (250 total across five subjects: kokugo, social studies, mathematics, science, English), sat in the A-schedule academic test (Reiwa 9 / 2027 entrance cycle: examination March 3-4, 2027; results March 12, 2027). It is a written paper in Japanese-administered format created by the Kochi Prefectural Board of Education on the 2017 (Heisei 29) MEXT junior-high Course of Study. The A-schedule paper includes a listening test (risuningu tesuto); the B-schedule paper does not. Besides listening, the paper has three big questions: reading (blank-fill, resource/table reading, conversation, and a long passage of about 470 words with four-choice items), reorder/blank-fill grammar, and a 25-or-more-word English composition (an email reply). Difficulty is slightly easy to standard. Admission (A-schedule main selection) treats the academic test (250 points) and the report card (chōsasho, 260 points) roughly equally (hobo dōtō), together with the statement of intent (shigan riyūsho), an individual interview, and — for some schools — a practical test; some schools apply weighted scoring (keisha-ka) to specific subjects. There is no fixed pass mark; selection is by ranking within each school's quota. This local bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation providing 100 original practice items.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the real Kochi English paper include a listening test?
Yes — the A-schedule paper includes a listening test (risuningu tesuto), while the B-schedule paper does not. This bank cannot play audio, so listening items are MCQ adaptations of listening strategy based on a described spoken script. The bank is an English-language study adaptation, not a reproduction of the official listening or written-response tasks.
Are these questions official past exam problems?
No. Although the Kochi Prefectural Board of Education publishes the actual R8 examination problems and model answers, it does not publish them as a four-option multiple-choice set. This bank is an original English-language MCQ study adaptation aligned to the 2017 MEXT junior-high Course of Study, covering vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening strategies, and composition — not an official translation or format simulation.
How long is the English paper and what is the maximum score?
The English paper is a single 50-minute exam scored out of 50 points (the A-schedule paper includes the listening test within this time). The five academic-test subjects total 250 points and are combined with the 260-point report card in selection. In the Reiwa 9 (2027) cycle the A-schedule academic test is held on March 3-4, 2027, with results on March 12, 2027.
What question types appear on the Kochi English paper?
Besides the listening test, the paper has three big questions: reading (blank-fill, resource/table reading, conversation, and a long passage of about 470 words with four-choice items), reorder/blank-fill grammar, and a 25-or-more-word English composition written as an email reply. Difficulty is slightly easy to standard.
How are the academic test and report card combined in Kochi's selection?
Kochi's A-schedule main selection treats the academic test (250 points) and the report card (chōsasho, 260 points) roughly equally (hobo dōtō), together with the statement of intent (shigan riyūsho), an individual interview, and — for some schools — a practical test. Some schools apply weighted scoring (keisha-ka) to specific subjects. There is no fixed pass mark; selection is by ranking within each school's quota.
Is this bank an official English sitting of the exam?
No. The official exam is administered in Japanese with English as the tested subject; there is no official English-language sitting. This is an original English-language MCQ study adaptation that helps learners prepare, including non-native English speakers researching the Kochi exam — not an official translation or format simulation.
