Okinawa Public High School Entrance Examination — English Study Tips from Top Performers

1Drill 動詞の不規則変化 (irregular verb forms): the Okinawa paper tests these yearly, so master go-went-gone, write-wrote-written, and the other high-frequency irregular verbs.
2Maintain リスニング (listening) practice continuously: the 聞き取り component carries real weight, so do not leave it until the last week; this bank's transcript-based items build the underlying skill but cannot replace audio practice.
3For 長文読解, practice finding the 要点 (main idea) first, then scan for specific details, and use the sentences before and after an unknown word to infer its meaning (前後推論).
4In 対話文 items, pay close attention to 時制 (tense) and the relationship between speakers, since the correct answer often depends on who is speaking and when the action happens.
5For 英作文 (条件付き作文), keep sentences short and grammatically correct: nail 語順 (word order) and 文型 (sentence pattern) first, then add the condition; this MCQ bank teaches the underlying word order and idea selection.
6Build a solid 英単語・動詞・熟語・文法 base at MEXT junior-high level (roughly CEFR A1-A2), since grammar and vocabulary together carry 25% of the paper.
7Manage the 50-minute paper carefully: with 聞き取り, 長文読解 and 英作文 all in one paper, allocate time per section and do not get stuck on a single 長文 question.
