Hiroshima Entrance Social Studies study guide

The Hiroshima Prefecture High School Entrance Examination in Social Studies (広島県公立高等学校入学者選抜 社会) is the social studies component of the academic achievement test used by Hiroshima's public high schools to select entering students. It is taken by students finishing compulsory education in Hiroshima Prefecture who wish to enter a prefectural public high school; results are combined with school records, interviews, and other selection materials according to each school's and the prefecture's selection system. The paper is delivered in Japanese and draws on the full three-year middle school social studies curriculum: geography of Japan and the world, Japanese pre-modern history, modern and contemporary Japanese and world history, and civics covering the constitution, politics, economy, and international relations, with map, graph, and source-reading skills woven throughout. Expect questions that ask you to explain why, compare regions or eras, and read data rather than simply recall terms. The Hiroshima Entrance Social Studies study guide has 5 sections and about 1,408 words.
