The Fukuoka Entrance English study guide has 6 sections and about 1,863 words.
01Listening comprehension (音声問題)
The 音声問題 checks whether you grasp the purpose of a conversation, not every word. You hear short dialogues, a longer dialogue, and a short talk such as a school announcement, with the questions printed in English.
304 words, about 2 min02Reading comprehension (長文読解)
The 長文読解 uses a narrative or explanatory passage, often with a small graph or table, followed by questions in Japanese and some in English. It tests paragraph-level understanding: what happened, why a character acted, what a pronoun refers to, and what the writer wants to say.
296 words, about 1 min03Dialogue and situational response (対話文・場面応答)
This part gives a short conversation with a blank, or a single utterance and four replies. It tests 場面応答: can you choose the line that fits the situation, the relationship, and the function of the utterance?
324 words, about 2 min04Grammar and vocabulary in context (文法・語彙)
Grammar and vocabulary appear inside short sentences and dialogues: choose the correct form, put words in order, or change a word's shape. The exam stays inside 中学校 grammar: tense, passive, present perfect, infinitives and gerunds, comparatives, relative pronouns, indirect questions, and basic conjunctions.
304 words, about 2 min05Writing / composition (英作文)
The 英作文 is a conditional composition: a question about your opinion or experience, a word limit (roughly 20–30 words in Fukuoka's format), and sometimes a requirement to use given words or give reasons. It is scored on task fulfilment, clarity, and correct basic grammar - not on sophistication.
343 words, about 2 min06Information retrieval from texts and charts (情報検索・資料読解)
The 情報検索・資料読解 gives a poster, timetable, menu, or notice with several events or items, plus conditions in the question. You must find the one entry that satisfies every condition.
