About the Shizuoka Public High School Entrance Examination — Science Exam
The Shizuoka Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination in Science (理科) tests lower-secondary graduates on physics, chemistry, biology and earth science. In the 令和8年度 (2026) cycle the general academic test (学力検査) covers five subjects (国語, 社会, 数学, 理科, 英語[放送含む]), each worth 50 points (total 250), all sat on one day, 3月4日 (Wed), with 面接など on 3月5日 (Thu). The 理科 paper has 6 大問 — one 小問集合 (mixed small questions) plus one each from 物理, 化学, 生物, and two from 地学 — with 記述, 計算, and 作図 items. Selection in 一般選抜 combines 学力検査 (250) with 調査書 (内申, 45) under 裁量枠 and 共通枠; some schools add 面接/実技/作文/小論文, and 専門学科共通枠 may apply 傾斜配点. 再募集 uses no 学力検査 (面接 + 作文/小論文). The 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). Shizuoka-specific contexts such as Mount Fuji, the Izu Peninsula, Suruga Bay's deep waters, and the Nankai Trough seismic zone appear across the practice items.
Assessment

Shizuoka Public High School Entrance Examination — Science Study Tips from Top Performers
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this question bank the same as the real Shizuoka 理科 exam?
No. The official paper is written in Japanese with 記述, 計算, and 作図 constructed-response items, and its exact item count is not published. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of the same syllabus content (including F=ma, オームの法則, 光合成, and プレートテクトニクス) and cannot replace writing out your own answers and diagrams in Japanese under timed conditions.
How is the Shizuoka 理科 paper structured and what is it worth?
It is scored out of 50 points, one of five subjects totalling 250 points (each subject 50 points), and each paper runs 50 minutes. The paper has 6 大問: one 小問集合 (mixed small questions) plus one each from 物理, 化学, 生物, and two from 地学. All five subjects are sat on one day — 3月4日 (Wed) for 令和8年度 — with 面接など the next day, 3月5日 (Thu).
How is the selection structured?
Shizuoka runs 一般選抜 (学力検査 250 + 調査書/内申 45) with 裁量枠 and 共通枠; some schools add 面接, 実技, 作文, or 小論文, and 専門学科共通枠 may apply 傾斜配点. 再募集 uses no 学力検査 (面接 + 作文/小論文). The 入学検定料 for a 全日制 course is ¥2,200. 願書提出 is 17–19 February; 志願先変更 25–26 February; 追検査 10 March; 選抜結果発表 13 March at noon.
Does the 理科 paper include calculations and experiment analysis?
Yes. The MEXT 平成29年 中学校学習指導要領 理科編 emphasises 観察・実験, and Shizuoka's prefectural paper includes 計算 items (force, electricity, heat, concentration) and items that ask you to interpret experimental data and graphs, often in 記述 form, plus 作図 (diagram) items.
Who administers the exam and where is the official information?
The 静岡県教育委員会 高校教育課 (〒420-8601 静岡市葵区追手町9-6) administers the selection. The 令和8年度 official page is https://www.pref.shizuoka.jp/kodomokyoiku/school/kyoiku/1003764/1003891/1072279.html.
Why does earth science (地学) get more weight in this practice bank?
Because the official Shizuoka 理科 paper allocates 2 of its 6 大問 to 地学 (one to each of 物理, 化学, 生物, and two to 地学), this bank weights earth science at 30% and the other three domains at 20–25% to mirror that structure.
