About the Toyama Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination — English Exam

The Toyama Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination in English (英語) tests lower-secondary graduates on listening, reading and dialogue comprehension, grammar and conversation, and a free English composition. The general academic test (学力検査) is a prefecture-wide common paper covering five subjects (国語, 数学, 社会, 理科, 英語[リスニング含む]), each worth 40 points (合計 200点); for 令和8年度 (2026 admission) the 一般入学者選抜 学力検査 is 3月5日(木) and 3月6日(金) with 合格発表 on 3月13日(金). The 英語 common paper (2日目, 聞き取り about 10 minutes plus 筆記 40 minutes) mixes 記号選択 (multiple-choice) items with 短答, 記述, 語順整理 and 英作文 answers, so it is not a pure multiple-choice paper. Selection combines the 学力検査 total (200) with the 調査書評定点 (150) for a 350-point total, with some schools applying 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.

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

1Build vocabulary from the MEXT junior-high word lists, grouping words by topic and learning spelling and usage together, since vocabulary items are reliable early points.
2For listening, practise catching numbers, times and means (bus/train, 11:40, etc.) and focus on the overall point rather than every detail.
3For 長文読解, read the questions first, then locate the relevant paragraph, and for 記述 items quote the passage briefly and accurately in your answer.
4Drill tense, relative clauses (関係代名詞), passive voice (受動態) and comparison until selection is automatic, then practise 語順整理 (word-order) items to speed up.
5For the 自由英作文, prepare a 'conclusion + two reasons' template (e.g. I like A better. First, … Second, …) and practise fitting it to the conditions and word count.
6Time the written section tightly — Toyama's 筆記 has many items — and leave enough time for the 英作文 at the end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this question bank the same as the real Toyama 英語 exam?

No. The official paper combines リスニング (listening: illustration choice, conversation comprehension, gap-fill), 読解・会話理解 (including graph/poster items), 長文読解 (with 記述), and 文法・会話文完成 plus a 自由英作文; its exact item count is not published. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation covering vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension and conversation; it does not reproduce the listening or free-writing tasks and cannot replace them.

How long is the Toyama 英語 paper and what is it worth?

It is scored out of 40 points, one of five subjects totalling 200 points (each subject 40 points). 英語 is sat on 2日目 (令和8年3月6日(金)) as a listening section of about 10 minutes followed by a written section of 40 minutes, with 一般入学者選抜 合格発表 on 3月13日(金); the 推薦入学者選抜 検査 (面接等) is 2月9日(月) with 内定通知 on 2月12日(木), and a 追検査 is 3月10日(火).

Does the paper include listening and a composition?

Yes. The 英語 paper has a リスニング (listening) section and a 自由英作文 (free English composition), alongside multiple-choice and 記述 reading and grammar items. This MCQ bank covers only the vocabulary, grammar, reading and conversation knowledge behind those tasks; you must practise listening and writing separately.

How is the selection structured?

Toyama's 一般入学者選抜 combines the 学力検査 total (5 subjects × 40 = 200 points, with some schools applying 傾斜配点) with the 調査書評定点 (内申点, 150 points: 中二 45 + 中三 90 + 特別活動等 15) for a 350-point total. A top-10% rule on either score can secure admission. Some schools add 面接 or 実技検査. Selection is relative, not against a published pass line.

How much is the examination fee?

The 入学考査手数料 is ¥2,200 for a 全日制 course (¥950 for 定時制); it may be reduced or waived in cases of financial hardship.
