About the Tokyo Metropolitan Public High School Entrance Examination — English Exam
The Tokyo Metropolitan Public High School Entrance Examination in English (英語) tests lower-secondary graduates on listening, vocabulary and grammar, reading comprehension, dialogue and writing. The general academic test (学力検査) is 共通問題 (a metropolitan-wide common paper) covering five subjects each worth 100 points (total 500, scaled ×1.4 to 700), each sat for 50 minutes on one day; for 令和8年度 (2026 admission) the 第一次募集 is 2月21日(土) with 合格者発表 on 3月2日(月). The 英語 共通問題 paper includes a リスニング (listening) section and combines a mark-sheet (マークシート) section with 記述式 (constructed-response) questions including 条件付き英作文, so it is not a pure multiple-choice paper; ten 全日制 schools set 自校作成問題 for 英語 (same リスニング audio), and 国際高校 sets its own 英語 paper. The separate ESAT-J speaking test scores 話すこと and adds up to 20 points to the 総合得点 of 1,020, alongside the scaled 学力検査 (700) and 調査書 (300, ratio 7:3); some schools apply 傾斜配点. 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 外国語編) and tests 知識・技能 plus 思考力・判断力・表現力 across the four English skills.
Assessment
100-point paper aligned to the MEXT 英語 Course of Study, covering リスニング (20%), 語彙・文法 (25%), 読解 (35%), 対話文 (10%) and 英作文 (10%). The 共通問題 paper mixes a mark-sheet (マークシート) section (including the リスニング items) with 記述式 answers (including 条件付き英作文) that earn partial credit; ten 全日制 schools set 自校作成問題 for 英語 using the same 共通問題 リスニング audio, and 国際高校 sets its own 英語 paper including リスニング. The five academic-test subjects each carry 100 points (max 500, scaled ×1.4 to 700), all sat on one day as 共通問題; every subject runs 50 minutes. Problems are at junior-high graduation level (中学校卒業程度). The paper tests 知識・技能 plus 思考力・判断力・表現力 across the four English skills.
Time Limit
Sat as part of the one-day five-subject 学力検査: each subject is a 100-point, 50-minute paper (500 points total, scaled to 700); the 英語 paper includes its リスニング section within the 50 minutes. For 令和8年度 (2026 admission) the 学力検査に基づく選抜 (第一次募集) is 2月21日(土), with 合格者発表 on 3月2日(月); the 推薦に基づく選抜 is 1月26日(月)・27日(火) and the 全日制第二次募集 / 追検査 is 3月10日(火). The ESAT-J speaking test is held separately around November of the third-year junior-high year. Source: 令和8年度東京都立高等学校入学者選抜実施要綱・同細目 / 日程, 東京都教育委員会.

Tokyo Metropolitan Public High School Entrance Examination — English Study Tips from Top Performers
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this question bank the same as the real Tokyo 英語 exam?
No. The official paper includes a recorded リスニング (listening) section and combines a mark-sheet (マークシート) section with 記述式 (constructed-response) questions, including 条件付き英作文; its exact item count is not published. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of the same junior-high English syllabus and cannot replace listening to the official audio, writing guided compositions, or taking the ESAT-J speaking test.
What is the ESAT-J speaking test and how does it count?
The 東京都中学校英語スピーキングテスト (ESAT-J YEAR3) is a separate speaking test held around November of the third-year junior-high year. It is scored A–F and converted to up to 20 points (A=20, B=16, C=12, D=8, E=4, F=0) that are added to the 学力検査 (700) and 調査書 (300) for a 総合得点 of 1,020 in the 第一次募集 selection.
How long is the Tokyo 英語 paper and what is it worth?
It is scored out of 100 points, one of five subjects totalling 500 points (each subject 100 points), scaled ×1.4 to 700 in the general selection. 英語 runs 50 minutes on 令和8年2月21日(土) and includes its リスニング section within that time, with 合格者発表 on 3月2日(月).
Do the 自校作成問題 schools have a different 英語 paper?
Ten 全日制 schools (日比谷・戸山・青山・西・八王子東・立川・国立・新宿・墨田川・国分寺) set their own 英語 problems, but they use the same 共通問題 リスニング audio; 国際高校 sets its own 英語 paper including its own リスニング. The 自校作成問題 are not mark-sheet and are harder. This bank targets the 共通問題 syllabus that underlies both.
How is the selection structured?
Tokyo's 学力検査に基づく選抜 combines the scaled 学力検査 (700) with the 調査書 (300, 7:3 ratio) and the ESAT-J speaking test (up to 20) for a 総合得点 of 1,020; some schools apply 傾斜配点 and a few conduct 面接, 作文, 小論文 or 実技検査. Selection is relative to other applicants, not against a published pass line.
How much is the examination fee?
The 入学考査料 is ¥2,200 for a 全日制 course (¥950 for 定時制), paid via the prescribed 納付書 at a Tokyo-designated financial institution or by credit card on the internet-application site; it may be reduced or waived in cases of financial hardship.
