1A car travels 150 km in 2.5 hours. What is its average speed?
A.60 km/h
B.75 km/h
C.50 km/h
D.375 km/h
Explanation: Speed = distance / time = 150 / 2.5 = 60 km/h.
2Convert 90 km/h to m/s.
A.25 m/s
B.90 m/s
C.30 m/s
D.15 m/s
Explanation: 90 km/h = 90 000 m / 3 600 s = 25 m/s.
3A runner covers 400 m in 50 s. What is the average speed?
A.8 m/s
B.4 m/s
C.12 m/s
D.8 km/h
Explanation: Speed = 400 / 50 = 8 m/s.
4An object of mass 5 kg is at rest on Earth. Taking g = 9.8 m/s², what is its weight?
A.49 N
B.5 N
C.59 N
D.0.49 N
Explanation: Weight = mg = 5 × 9.8 = 49 N.
5A force of 100 N acts perpendicular to a surface of area 0.5 m². What is the pressure?
A.200 Pa
B.50 Pa
C.100 Pa
D.500 Pa
Explanation: Pressure = force / area = 100 / 0.5 = 200 Pa.
6A block has mass 240 g and volume 30 cm³. What is its density?
A.8 g/cm³
B.0.125 g/cm³
C.80 g/cm³
D.7200 g/cm³
Explanation: Density = mass / volume = 240 / 30 = 8 g/cm³.
7A force of 20 N moves an object 3 m in the direction of the force. How much work is done?
A.60 J
B.23 J
C.6.7 J
D.20 J
Explanation: Work = force × distance = 20 × 3 = 60 J.
8A machine does 600 J of work in 30 s. What is its power output?
A.20 W
B.18 000 W
C.200 W
D.0.05 W
Explanation: Power = work / time = 600 / 30 = 20 W.
9A load weighing 200 N is raised 2 m using a single movable pulley (動滑車). Ignoring friction and the weight of the pulley, what force is needed and how far must the rope be pulled?
A.100 N, pulling the rope 4 m
B.200 N, pulling the rope 2 m
C.400 N, pulling the rope 1 m
D.100 N, pulling the rope 2 m
Explanation: A movable pulley halves the force needed, so 200 ÷ 2 = 100 N. By the principle of work (仕事の原理), the work done cannot be reduced by a machine: the work is 200 N × 2 m = 400 J either way, so pulling with 100 N requires 400 ÷ 100 = 4 m of rope.
10A resistor has resistance 4 Ω and the current through it is 3 A. What is the voltage across it?
A.12 V
B.1.33 V
C.7 V
D.0.75 V
Explanation: By Ohm's law, V = IR = 3 × 4 = 12 V.

About the Tokushima Public High School Entrance Examination — Science Exam

The Tokushima Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination in Science (理科) tests lower-secondary graduates on physics, chemistry, biology and earth science. The general academic test (学力検査) is 県内同一問題 (a prefecture-wide common paper) covering five subjects (国語, 数学, 英語[リスニング含む], 社会, 理科), each worth 100 points (total 500); 国語 runs 55 minutes (作文含む) and the other four subjects 50 minutes each, all sat on one day. For 令和9年度 (2027) the 一般選抜 学力検査 is 3月3日(水), with 理科 as the 第4時限 paper at 13:05-13:55; 面接等 is 3月4日(木), 追検査 is 3月10日(水) and 合格者発表 is 3月13日(土). The 理科 paper is worked by hand in Japanese and may require descriptions of experiments and observations, so it is not a multiple-choice paper. Selection is competitive and relative and runs in two stages — a 第1次選考 limited to applicants in the top 80% of the 募集人員 on both 調査書 評定 (195点満点) and 学力検査 得点 (500点), then a 第2次選考 that weighs the two equally on a 相関表 — with up to 100点 of 傾斜配点 per school and a required 面接. 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), calculators are not permitted, and it tests 知識・技能 plus 思考力・判断力・表現力, including observation, experiment design and data interpretation.

Assessment

100-point paper aligned to the MEXT 理科 Course of Study, covering physics (25%), chemistry (25%), biology (25%) and earth science (25%). Answers are handwritten and may include descriptions of experiments and observations. The five academic-test subjects each carry 100 points (max 500), all sat on a single day as 県内同一問題; 国語 runs 55 minutes (作文含む) and the other four subjects 50 minutes each. Problems are at junior-high graduation level (中学校卒業程度); calculators are not permitted. The paper tests 知識・技能 plus 思考力・判断力・表現力, including observation, experiment design and data interpretation.

Time Limit

Sat as part of the one-day five-subject 学力検査: each subject is a 100-point paper, 500 points in total. For 令和9年度 (2027) the 一般選抜 学力検査 is 3月3日(水), with 理科 as the 第4時限 paper at 13:05-13:55 (50 minutes); 面接等 follows on 3月4日(木), 追検査 is 3月10日(水) and 合格者発表 is 3月13日(土). 育成型・連携型選抜 run earlier (検査 2月2日(火), 結果通知 2月6日(土)) and 第2次募集選抜 runs later (検査 3月25日(木), 結果通知 3月26日(金)). Calculators are not permitted. Source: 令和9年度 徳島県公立高等学校入学者選抜日程 / 生徒募集選抜要項, 徳島県教育委員会教育創生課.

Passing Score

No fixed prefecture-wide pass mark. The 理科 paper is scored out of 100 points (500 across the five 学力検査 subjects, each 100 points). Selection is competitive and relative, and runs in two stages. In the 第1次選考 a school selects from applicants who rank within the top 80% of its 募集人員 on both the 調査書 評定 and the 学力検査 score, with 面接 results also taken into account. All remaining applicants go to the 第2次選考, where the 評定 and the 学力検査 得点 are weighed equally using a 相関表 (correlation table) of the two. The 調査書 評定値合計 is out of 195点 and the 学力検査 out of 500点; a school may add up to a combined 100点 of 傾斜配点 to the subjects it emphasises. 面接 is also required for 一般選抜. Admission is relative to other applicants, not against a published pass line. Source: 徳島県公立高等学校生徒募集選抜要項, 徳島県教育委員会.

Exam Fee

The 入学考査料 is ¥2,200 for a 全日制 course and ¥950 for a 定時制 course, affixed as 徳島県収入証紙 on the 入学願書 and submitted via the junior-high principal; applicants to 徳島市立高等学校 pay in cash.

Tokushima Public High School Entrance Examination — Science Study Tips from Top Performers

1Memorise the key formulas (Ohm's law, speed, density, pressure) and practise using them without a calculator, since the paper is sat calculator-free.
2For chemistry, drill the names and formulas of common acids, bases and salts, and balance simple chemical equations quickly.
3For biology, learn the functions of each organ system and the steps of photosynthesis and respiration, since 記述式 items often ask you to describe processes.
4For earth science, practise reading weather maps and explaining seasonal changes and the phases of the moon.
5Practise interpreting graphs and experimental data tables, since 思考力・判断力 items often hinge on reading a chart correctly.
6Time yourself on full 50-minute papers, since pacing across the four domains is the most common reason for unfinished papers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this question bank the same as the real Tokushima 理科 exam?

No. The official paper is worked by hand in Japanese and may require descriptions of experiments and observations; its exact item count is not published and the prefecture does not publish past papers online. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of the same junior-high syllabus (物理, 化学, 生物, 地学) and cannot replace writing out your own experiment descriptions in Japanese under timed conditions.

How long is the Tokushima 理科 paper and what is it worth?

It is scored out of 100 points, one of five subjects totalling 500 points (each subject 100 points). 理科 is the 第4時限 paper and runs 50 minutes (13:05-13:55) on 3月3日(水) for 令和9年度; 面接等 is 3月4日(木), 追検査 is 3月10日(水) and 合格者発表 is 3月13日(土).

Are calculators allowed?

No. The science paper is sat without a calculator, in line with standard prefectural academic-test rules; numerical reasoning and exact computation are expected.

How is the selection structured?

Tokushima combines 調査書(評定値合計 195点満点, with 音楽・美術・保健体育・技術家庭 doubled) with 学力検査 (500点). The 第1次選考 selects from applicants who are within the top 80% of the 募集人員 on both the 調査書 評定 and the 学力検査 score; everyone else is considered in the 第2次選考, where the two are weighed equally using a 相関表 (correlation table). A school may add up to a combined 100点 of 傾斜配点, and 面接 is required. 全日制普通科 is subject to a 学区制 except at 城東・富岡東・川島高校, and each applicant may apply to only one school per selection type.

What kinds of problems appear on the 理科 paper?

The paper covers physics, chemistry, biology and earth science, aligned to the MEXT 平成29年 中学校学習指導要領 理科編 at 中学校卒業程度. Items test 知識・技能 plus 思考力・判断力・表現力, including observation, experiment design and data interpretation. Everything is handwritten; calculators are not permitted.

How much is the examination fee?

The 入学考査料 for a 全日制 course is ¥2,200 (¥950 for 定時制), affixed as 徳島県収入証紙 on the 入学願書 and submitted via the junior-high principal; applicants to 徳島市立高等学校 pay in cash. The fee is not refunded once paid.
