Sample Nagano Entrance Mathematics Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Nagano Entrance Mathematics exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Compute: (-7) + 3 × (-2)
A.-13
B.8
C.-1
D.17
Explanation: Order of operations: multiplication before addition. 3 × (-2) = -6, then (-7) + (-6) = -13. The answer is -13.
2Compute: 2/3 - 1/4
A.5/12
B.11/12
C.1/12
D.7/12
Explanation: The LCD of 3 and 4 is 12. Convert: 2/3 = 8/12 and 1/4 = 3/12. Then 8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12.
3Compute: 0.3 × 0.04
A.0.012
B.0.12
C.0.0012
D.1.2
Explanation: Multiply 3 × 4 = 12. The factors have 1 + 2 = 3 decimal places, so the product is 0.012.
4What is the prime factorization of 84?
A.2² × 3 × 7
B.2 × 3 × 7
C.2² × 3 × 7²
D.2³ × 3 × 7
Explanation: 84 = 4 × 21 = 2² × 3 × 7. Verify: 4 × 3 × 7 = 84.
5Find the GCD of 36 and 48.
A.12
B.6
C.4
D.144
Explanation: 36 = 2² × 3² and 48 = 2⁴ × 3. The GCD takes the minimum power of each prime: 2² × 3 = 12.
6Expand (x + 3)(x - 4)
A.x² - x - 12
B.x² + x - 12
C.x² - x + 12
D.x² - 7x - 12
Explanation: Using FOIL: x·x = x², x·(-4) = -4x, 3·x = 3x, 3·(-4) = -12. Combine: x² - 4x + 3x - 12 = x² - x - 12.
7Factor x² - 8x + 15
A.(x - 3)(x - 5)
B.(x + 3)(x - 5)
C.(x - 3)(x + 5)
D.(x + 3)(x + 5)
Explanation: Find two numbers that multiply to 15 and add to -8. Those are -3 and -5, so x² - 8x + 15 = (x - 3)(x - 5).
8Simplify √72
A.6√2
B.8√2
C.6√3
D.12
Explanation: 72 = 36 × 2, and √36 = 6. So √72 = √(36 × 2) = 6√2.
9Compute: |-5| + |2 - 7|
A.10
B.0
C.-10
D.7
Explanation: |-5| = 5 and |2 - 7| = |-5| = 5. So 5 + 5 = 10.
10Solve the system: x + y = 7 and x - y = 1. What is (x, y)?
A.(4, 3)
B.(3, 4)
C.(5, 2)
D.(4, 4)
Explanation: Add the equations: 2x = 8, so x = 4. Substitute into x + y = 7: 4 + y = 7, so y = 3. The solution is (4, 3).

About the Nagano Entrance Mathematics Exam

The Nagano Public High School Entrance Selection mathematics paper is created by the Nagano Prefectural Board of Education. The single 50-minute, 100-point written paper, sat on the 後期選抜 academic test day, covers 数と式, 方程式, 関数, 図形, and 確率, on the 2017 MEXT junior-high Course of Study. Nagano runs a two-stage selection (前期選抜 and 後期選抜); this bank targets the 後期選抜 paper, which combines the academic test (500) with the 調査書 (45 points) by 相関図, and 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 of the hand-written sections.

Assessment

The real Nagano mathematics examination is a 50-minute paper scored out of 100 points (500 total across five subjects), sat on the 後期選抜 academic test day (five subjects, 50 minutes each: 国語・数学・社会・理科・英語). It is a written, constructed-response paper in Japanese covering 数と式, 方程式, 関数 (linear and quadratic), 図形 (plane and solid geometry, similarity, congruence, circles, Pythagoras), and 確率. Students show calculations, proofs, and graphs by hand. Nagano runs a two-stage selection — 前期選抜 (February, self-recommendation: 検査Ⅰ 45 min for 国語・社会・英語, 検査Ⅱ 30 min for 数学・理科, plus an interview) and 後期選抜 (March, general, all schools, full five-subject 500-point test) — and this bank targets the 後期選抜 paper. The 後期選抜 combines the academic test (500) with the report card (調査書, 45 points, 中学3年 9教科 × 5段階); selection is by 相関図 (correlation diagram), with no fixed pass mark. Some schools apply 傾斜配点 (weighted scoring). This local bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation providing 100 original practice items; MCQs cannot simulate the hand-written calculation, proof, and graphing sections of the real paper.

Time Limit

50 minutes for the mathematics subject paper (後期選抜 academic test day; confirm the current cycle's exact date on the official Nagano page).

Passing Score

No fixed pass mark; the mathematics paper is scored out of 100 points (500 total across 5 subjects). The 後期選抜 combines the academic test (500) with the report card (調査書, 45 points, 中学3年 9教科 × 5段階). Selection is by 相関図 (correlation diagram) plotting 調査書 against 学力検査, with school-specific quota-based cut lines. Some schools apply 傾斜配点 (weighted scoring). There is no single prefecture-wide pass line.

Exam Fee

2,200 yen for the full-time course (全日制). The part-time (定時制) fee is lower and is not published on the prefectural selection pages — confirm it in the current 入学者選抜要綱. From the 令和8年度 (2026) cycle Nagano has used インターネット出願 (internet application), with the fee settled by electronic payment. The fee is not refunded once the application is submitted.

Nagano Entrance Mathematics Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master basic skills first: integer operations, factoring, expanding, square roots, and solving linear, simultaneous, and quadratic equations quickly and accurately.
2For 関数, practice sketching and reading 一次関数 and y=ax² graphs — compute the 変化の割合 (rate of change), find where a line meets a parabola, and interpret slope and intercept in applied contexts.
3For 図形, drill similarity and congruence conditions, 円周角 and 接線 rules, and the Pythagorean theorem; practice solid-figure volume and surface area calculations.
4For 確率, list all outcomes (場合の数) systematically and compute probabilities as favourable over total; watch for with/without replacement.
5Practice multi-step applied problems that combine algebra with geometry or functions — these are common in the latter 大問.
6Manage the 50-minute paper carefully: secure the basic marks first, then attempt the longer multi-step problems and proofs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the real Nagano mathematics paper a multiple-choice test?

No — the real paper is a written, constructed-response exam in Japanese that requires hand-written calculations, proofs, and graphs. 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. This bank is an original English-language MCQ study adaptation aligned to the 2017 MEXT junior-high Course of Study, covering algebra, equations, functions, geometry, and probability — not an official translation or format simulation.

How long is the mathematics paper and what is the maximum score?

The mathematics paper is a single 50-minute exam scored out of 100 points, sat as one of five academic-test subjects totaling 500 points on the 後期選抜 academic test day (国語・数学・社会・理科・英語, each 50 minutes).

How are the academic test and report card combined in Nagano's 後期選抜?

Nagano's 後期選抜 uses the academic test (500 points) and the report card (調査書, 45 points from 中学3年, 9教科 × 5段階). Selection is by 相関図 (correlation diagram) plotting 調査書 against 学力検査, with school-specific quota-based cut lines. Some schools apply 傾斜配点 (weighted scoring). There is no single prefecture-wide pass line.

What is Nagano's two-stage selection system?

Nagano runs 前期選抜 (February, self-recommendation, with 検査Ⅰ 45 min covering 国語・社会・英語 and 検査Ⅱ 30 min covering 数学・理科, plus an interview and any 作文・小論文・実技検査 the school sets) and 後期選抜 (March, general selection at all schools, with the full five-subject 500-point 学力検査). This bank targets the 後期選抜 paper. Confirm the current cycle's details on the official Nagano page.

How much is the Nagano entrance selection fee?

The entrance selection fee (入学考査料) is 2,200 yen for a full-time (全日制) course. The part-time (定時制) fee is lower, but neither amount is published on the prefectural selection pages, so confirm both in the current 入学者選抜要綱. From the 令和8年度 (2026) cycle Nagano has used インターネット出願 (internet application), with the fee settled by electronic payment. It is not refunded once the application is submitted, and it is a selection fee only, separate from tuition.

Can MCQs simulate the hand-written sections of the real paper?

No. The real paper requires hand-written calculations, proofs, and graphs. Four-option MCQs cannot reproduce those tasks. This bank instead offers algebra, function, geometry, and probability items to help prepare for those sections.
