01Listening Comprehension
This domain checks whether you can follow spoken English in announcements, short dialogues, and teacher-style monologues and choose the response that matches the situation. Gunma-style listening items often test who is speaking, where the exchange happens, what will happen next, and which detail corrects an earlier statement.
321 words, about 2 min02Reading Comprehension: Short and Medium Passages
This domain tests how well you extract main ideas, supporting details, sequence, reference, and inference from one-paragraph and multi-paragraph texts. Gunma entrance reading often includes school notices, emails, short stories, and explanatory passages; the task is not translation but selecting the answer the text actually supports.
351 words, about 2 min03Grammar and Vocabulary in Context
This domain covers sentence completion, sentence ordering, and transformation. It tests whether you can choose the form that fits the whole sentence: tense, subject–verb agreement, voice, verb patterns, conjunctions, comparatives, relative clauses, and common collocations.
347 words, about 2 min04Situational and Functional Expression
This domain asks you to choose language that fits a situation: dialogue responses, appropriate replies, and reading e-mails or posters for a required action. It tests function and register as much as grammar.
373 words, about 2 min05Writing Production
This domain tests guided composition and conditional writing: you may need to write a short paragraph or several sentences about yourself, a plan, an opinion, or a message while following conditions such as word count, tense, audience, and required content. The examiner rewards clear communication and control of basic grammar more than difficult vocabulary.
