About the Toyama Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination — Science Exam
The Toyama Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination in Science (理科) tests lower-secondary graduates on the four fields of physics, chemistry, biology and earth science in a balanced way. 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 理科 common paper (1日目, 50 minutes) combines 記号選択 (multiple-choice) items with 短答, 記述 and 実験・観察 reasoning questions, 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 理科編), calculators are not permitted, and it tests 知識・技能 plus 思考力・判断力・表現力.
Assessment
40-point paper aligned to the MEXT 理科 Course of Study, drawing items in a balanced way from 物理 (physics), 化学 (chemistry), 生物 (biology) and 地学 (earth science). The prefectural common paper mixes 記号選択 items with 短答, 記述 and 実験・観察 reasoning answers; the five academic-test subjects each carry 40 points (合計 200点), and 理科 runs 50 minutes on 1日目. 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, with data and graph interpretation.

For 令和8年度 the 追検査 is 3月10日(火) and 一般入学者選抜 合格発表 is 3月13日(金). Calculators are not permitted. Source: 令和8年度富山県立高等学校入学者選抜実施要領 / 入学者選抜日程, 富山県教育委員会.
Passing Score
No fixed prefecture-wide pass mark. The 理科 paper is scored out of 40 points. In the 一般入学者選抜 the five subjects (国語・数学・社会・理科・英語) total 200 points (each subject 40 points); the 調査書評定点 (内申点) adds 150 points (中二 9教科×5=45, 中三 9教科×5×2=90, 特別活動等 15), for a combined 350-point total. Some schools apply 傾斜配点. If either the 学力検査 or the 調査書 result places an applicant within the top 10% of 定員, they may be admitted regardless of the other score. Selection is relative, not against a published pass line. Source: 令和8年度富山県立高等学校入学者選抜実施要領, 富山県教育委員会.

Toyama Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination — Science Study Tips from Top Performers
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this question bank the same as the real Toyama 理科 exam?
No. The official paper is worked in Japanese and combines 記号選択 (multiple-choice) items with 短答 (short-answer), 記述 (constructed-response) and 実験・観察 reasoning questions; its exact item count is not published. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of the same four-field junior-high syllabus (物理, 化学, 生物, 地学) and cannot replace writing out your own explanations and reading graphs and experiment notes in Japanese under timed conditions.
How long is the Toyama 理科 paper and what is it worth?
It is scored out of 40 points, one of five subjects totalling 200 points (each subject 40 points). 理科 runs 50 minutes on 1日目 (令和8年3月5日(木)), 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).
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 (e.g. electrical and density calculations) are expected.
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.
