Frequently Asked Questions
Is the real Mie English paper a multiple-choice test?
No — the real paper is a mix of constructed-response and mark-sheet style items administered in Japanese with English as the tested subject, and it includes a listening section that is about 40% of the score. This 100-question bank is an original English-language MCQ study adaptation aligned to the 2017 MEXT junior-high Course of Study, not a reproduction or format simulation of the official paper.
Are these questions official past exam problems?
No. Although the Mie Prefectural Board of Education publishes the actual R8 examination problems, model answers, and listening audio, 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, dialogue, listening strategies, and writing/translation — 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 45-minute exam scored out of 50 points, including the listening test (リスニング検査), sat as one of five academic-test subjects totaling 250 points.

Does the real Mie English paper include a listening section?
Yes — the listening test (リスニング検査) is included within the 45-minute English paper and accounts for about 40% of the score, more weight than in many other prefectures. 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.
May examinees use a dictionary in the Mie English test?
Yes. For the English paper (including the 前期 selection when the prefectural common English problems are used), an English-Japanese and Japanese-English dictionary may be used; electronic dictionaries and similar devices are not allowed. This is set out in the official Mie selection requirements (実施要項).
How are the academic test and report card combined in Mie's selection?
Mie's 後期選抜 uses the academic test (250 points) and the report card (調査書, 45 points: 中3, 9 教科 × 5 段階評定), total 295. Selection proceeds in 3 stages: about 80% of the quota from the report-card-selected pool by descending test score; then half of the remainder from that pool; then the rest using each school's 'especially-weighted selection materials' (特に重視する選抜資料等). Some schools apply weighted scoring (傾斜配点) to English. There is no fixed pass mark.
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 Mie exam — not an official translation or format simulation.
