About the Yamaguchi Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination — English Exam
The Yamaguchi Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination in English (英語) tests lower-secondary graduates on listening, reading and dialogue comprehension, grammar, conversation, and an English composition. From 2026 (令和8年度) a 特色選抜 replaces the old 推薦選抜 (出願 1/21-1/28, 検査 2/4(水) [or 2/5], 内定通知 2/12; every school holds a 個人面接 and may run a 学校独自検査 such as 総合問題・基礎学力検査・口頭試問・小論文・プレゼン・作文・集団討論・実技検査), alongside the 第一次募集 general selection (出願 2/13-2/24, 学力検査 3/5(木), 合格発表 3/12(木); 面接・小論文・実技検査 may be held at schools that choose them) and a 第二次募集 (3/12発表; 面接必須, 小論文・実技可). A WEB出願 system was introduced in 令和8年度. The general academic test (学力検査) is 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 50 points (合計 250点); for 令和8年度 the 第一次募集 学力検査 is sat on a single day, 3月5日(木). The 英語 common paper (11:20-12:10, sat third) includes a リスニングテスト within its 50-minute slot and covers 会話文 (dialogue), 長文読解 (long-reading), 文法 (grammar) and 英作文 (English composition); it mixes 記号選択 (multiple-choice) items with 短答, 語順整理 (word-order) and 英作文 answers, so it is not a pure multiple-choice paper. Selection combines the 学力検査 total (250) with the 調査書 (中1-3 9教科×5 = 135点) on an equal-treatment basis, with each school setting its own比重 and some applying 傾斜配点 (up to 2× via 学校指定 or 生徒指定). The 全日制 通学区域 is 山口県全域. 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.
Assessment
50-point paper aligned to the MEXT 英語 (外国語) Course of Study. This practice bank's 100 items are weighted grammar 57% (parts of speech and sentence structure 35%, tense and voice 13%, conditionals/comparison/infinitive-gerund 9%), reading comprehension 15%, conversation 10%, listening strategies 9%, vocabulary 7% and writing 2%. The prefectural common paper mixes 記号選択 items with 短答, 語順整理 and 英作文 answers; the five academic-test subjects each carry 50 points (合計 250点), and 英語 is sat third on the single 学力検査 day (令和8年3月5日(木), 11:20-12:10) and includes a リスニングテスト within its slot. No official per-topic percentage weighting is published for 英語; the percentages above describe this bank only, not the real paper. Listening and writing are deliberately under-weighted here relative to the official paper because neither can be practised honestly in written multiple-choice form, and grammar is correspondingly over-weighted. The paper tests 知識・技能 plus 思考力・判断力・表現力, including graph and poster reading and a short English composition.
Time Limit
Sat as part of the one-day five-subject 学力検査 (合計 250点, each subject 50 points) on 令和8年3月5日(木): 国語 (9:00-9:50), 数学 (10:10-11:00), 英語 (11:20-12:10, sat third), 社会 (13:00-13:50) and 理科 (14:10-15:00) in that order (each 50 minutes). The 英語 paper includes a リスニングテスト (listening) within its 50-minute slot. The 特色選抜 検査日 is 令和8年2月4日(水) (or 2月5日(木) for schools that need a second day). Source: 令和8年度山口県公立高等学校入学者選抜実施要領(抄), 山口県教育委員会.
Passing Score
No fixed prefecture-wide pass mark. The 英語 paper is scored out of 50 points. In the 第一次募集 the five subjects (国語・数学・英語・社会・理科) total 250 points (each subject 50 points); the 調査書 (内申点) records 中1・中2・中3 各学年 9教科×5段階評定 = 45点 (合計 135点), and 山口県教育委員会 states that 調査書の「学習の記録」と学力検査の成績は同等に取り扱う. Each school may apply 傾斜配点 — either the 学校指定方式 (up to 2×) or the 生徒指定方式 (the applicant chooses one or two subjects to weight, up to 2×; the rate and number of subjects are set by each school). Selection is relative to other applicants, not against a published pass line. Source: 令和8年度山口県公立高等学校入学者選抜実施要領(抄), 山口県教育委員会.
