About the Mie Entrance Science Exam
The Mie Public High School Entrance Selection science paper is created by the Mie Prefectural Board of Education. The single 45-minute, 50-point written paper, sat in the 後期選抜 (kōki / second-stage) common academic test (Reiwa 8 / 2026 cycle: March 10, 2026, results March 17, 2026), is a constructed-response exam in Japanese on the 2017 MEXT junior-high Course of Study, integrating physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science; frequently tested topics include 状態変化・気体 (state changes and gases, water+ethanol distillation, gas properties), 月の見え方・金星の見え方 (Moon phases/motion and Venus), force/motion, electricity, and cells. The 後期選抜 uses the academic test (250) and the report card (45), total 295, with 3-stage selection; 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 Mie science examination is a 45-minute paper scored out of 50 points (250 total across five subjects: 国語, 数学, 社会, 英語, 理科), sat in the 後期選抜 (kōki / second-stage) common academic test (Reiwa 8 / 2026 entrance cycle: examination March 10, 2026; results March 17, 2026). It is a written, constructed-response paper in Japanese created by the Mie Prefectural Board of Education on the 2017 (Heisei 29) MEXT junior-high Course of Study, integrating physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science with many read-and-reason items. Frequently tested topics include 状態変化・気体 (state changes and gases, especially the water+ethanol distillation experiment and gas properties) and 天体 — 月の見え方・金星の見え方 (the apparent motion and phases of the Moon and the appearance of Venus), alongside force/motion, electricity, and cells. The 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, with 3-stage selection. There is no fixed pass mark. This local bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation providing 100 original practice items.
Time Limit
45 minutes for the science subject paper (Reiwa 8 / 2026 後期選抜 common academic test on March 10, 2026; results March 17, 2026).
Passing Score
No fixed pass mark; scored out of 50 points (250 total across 5 subjects).

Selection is by ranking within each school's quota.
Exam Fee
JPY 2,200 entrance selection fee for full-time prefectural high schools (JPY 950 part-time/定時制), paid through the official Web application system during the application period; once paid, the fee is not refunded. The fee is set out in the official Mie selection requirements (実施要項). (Mie Prefectural Board of Education (三重県教育委員会))

Mie Entrance Science Study Tips from Top Performers
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the real Mie science entrance paper multiple-choice?
No. The Mie 後期選抜 academic test is a written, constructed-response paper in Japanese — students write explanations, calculations, and experiment descriptions by hand, not mark-sheet bubbles, and many items are read-and-reason or select-all-that-apply. 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 in Japanese, require written working, and the official paper's exact item count is not published.
Are these questions official past exam problems?
No. Although the Mie Prefectural Board of Education publishes the actual examination problems and model answers (学力検査問題等), 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 physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science — not an official translation or format simulation.
How long is the science paper and what is the maximum score?
The science paper is a single 45-minute exam scored out of 50 points, sat in the 後期選抜 common academic test. The five academic-test subjects (国語, 数学, 社会, 英語, 理科) total 250 points and are combined with the 45-point report card (調査書) for a total of 295. In the Reiwa 8 (2026) cycle the academic test is held on March 10, 2026, with results on March 17, 2026.
Which science topics does the Mie paper emphasize?
Mie frequently tests 状態変化・気体 (state changes and gases — especially the water+ethanol mixture heating/distillation experiment and gas properties) and 天体 — 月の見え方・金星の見え方 (the apparent motion and phases of the Moon and the appearance of Venus). Force/motion, electricity (Ohm's law, electric power), and cells/heredity also appear. Many items are read-and-reason or select-all-that-apply.
Does this bank include real calculation questions?
Yes. A substantial share of the 100 items are genuine worked-calculation questions with numeric answers — Ohm's law (オームの法則) and electric power (電力 P=VI=I²R=V²/R), speed, acceleration, work, energy, concentration and neutralization stoichiometry, and genotype ratios — not just definitional recall.
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, with 3-stage selection. There is no fixed pass mark; selection is by ranking within each school's quota.
Is the Mie selection system changing for 2027?
Mie keeps the two-stage 前期選抜 + 後期選抜 structure for Reiwa 9 (2027) and adds a フレキシブル特別枠 (flexible special quota) tied to the みえ版フレキシブル高校 initiative. The Reiwa 9 後期 academic test is scheduled for March 9, 2027, with results March 16, 2027. The common 5-subject academic test framework carries over; this bank remains aligned to the 2017 MEXT Course of Study.
