About the Saga Public High School Entrance Examination — Science Exam
The Saga Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination in Science tests lower-secondary graduates on physics, chemistry, biology and earth science. In the 令和8年度 (2026) cycle the general academic test (一般選抜 学力検査) covers five subjects (国語, 社会, 数学, 理科, 英語), each worth 50 points (total 250), sat over two days on 3 March 2026 (1st 国語, 2nd 理科, 3rd 英語) and 4 March 2026 (1st 社会, 2nd 数学), with 合格発表 on 11 March 2026 at 09:00. The science paper is aligned to the MEXT junior-high Course of Study (平成29年 中学校学習指導要領 理科編) and tests 知識・技能 plus 思考力・判断力・表現力, with constructed-response items including 計算, 実験結果の考察, and 理由を書く. Saga uses a single common paper per subject (no ability tiers); all prefectural schools use the board-set paper, and no school sets a self-made science paper. Schools may optionally add a 15-minute/15-point 追加問題 and/or apply 傾斜配点 (佐賀西 weights 国・数・英 ×1.5 to 325 points; 致遠館理数科 weights 数・理 ×1.5 to 300 points). Selection uses two methods on the same test — 選考Ⅰ (調査書 weighted, 学力検査 40–80%) and 選考Ⅱ (学力検査 ~70%, 250 + 100 = 350); 選考Ⅰ takes 10–50% of seats and 選考Ⅱ the remainder. The 調査書 (内申) records 中1・中2・中3, 9教科 × 5段階 = 135 points. The school district is 県全域 (prefecture-wide; 普通科 since 令和5年度). There is no single prefecture-wide pass line.
Assessment
50-minute paper worth 50 points, aligned to the MEXT 理科 Course of Study with constructed-response items including 計算, 実験結果の考察, and 理由を書く. It is sat in the 2nd period on 3 March 2026 (Day 1). The five academic-test subjects (国語, 社会, 数学, 理科, 英語) each carry 50 points for a maximum of 250 points. The paper tests 知識・技能 plus 思考力・判断力・表現力. Saga uses a single common paper per subject; the optional 15-minute 追加問題 (15 points) exists only in 数学 and 英語, though 傾斜配点 may be applied to science.

The 調査書 (内申) records 中1・中2・中3, 9教科 × 5段階評定 = 135 points. Some schools add 追加問題 (15 points) or 傾斜配点 (e.g. 佐賀西 国・数・英 ×1.5; 致遠館理数科 数・理 ×1.5). There is no single prefecture-wide pass line.

Saga Public High School Entrance Examination — Science Study Tips from Top Performers
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this question bank the same as the real Saga science exam?
No. The official paper is written in Japanese with constructed-response items including 計算, 実験結果の考察, and 理由を書く. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of the same syllabus content and cannot replace writing out your own reasoning and calculations under timed conditions.
How long is the Saga science paper and what is it worth?
It lasts 50 minutes and is scored out of 50 points, one of five subjects that together total 250 points (each subject 50 points). 理科 is sat in the 2nd period on 3 March 2026 (Day 1). There is no extra science paper — the optional 15-minute/15-point 追加問題 is set only in 数学 and 英語.
How is the selection structured in 2026?
Saga applies two selection methods to the same test: 選考Ⅰ (report-card 調査書 weighted, 学力検査 ratio 40–80% set by the school) and 選考Ⅱ (test-weighted, 学力検査 about 70%, typically 250 + 調査書・面接 100 = 350). 選考Ⅰ takes 10–50% of seats and 選考Ⅱ the remainder. The 調査書 (内申) records 中1・中2・中3, 9教科 × 5段階 = 135 points. There is no prefecture-wide pass line.
Do any schools weight science differently?
Yes. 致遠館高等学校 理数科 weights 数学・理科 ×1.5 (300-point test), so science is emphasised there; 佐賀西 weights 国・数・英 ×1.5, which leaves science unweighted. 傾斜配点 is a school option applied to the common board-set paper. Note that the optional 15-minute/15-point 追加問題 is set only in 数学 and 英語, never in science.
How much is the examination fee?
The 入学者選抜手数料 (entrance examination fee) for a Saga prefectural public high school is ¥2,100 for 全日制, ¥900 for 定時制 and ¥50 for 通信制. A separate 入学手数料 (¥5,550 full-time) is due after acceptance. It is paid once for the whole five-subject 学力検査, not per subject paper.
When was the 2026 paper sat and when were results announced?
The 令和8年度 学力検査 (一般選抜) was held over two days — 3 March 2026 (1st 国語, 2nd 理科, 3rd 英語) and 4 March 2026 (1st 社会, 2nd 数学) — with 合格発表 on 11 March 2026 at 09:00.
