Okinawa Public High School Entrance Examination - English study plan

Classify every item in 3 practice listening sets by task type (絵・図の選択, 数字・時刻, 場所, 理由, 依頼) and label the cue words that signal each type.

Drill minimal-pair and number discrimination (13/30, 14/40, 15/50, a.m./p.m., 3:15/3:50, $1.15/$1.50) until a 30-item dictation is scored.

Shadow 10 short dialogues of 20–30 seconds daily and mark reduced forms (gonna, wanna, d'you, 'em, kinda) on the transcript.

Take notes with a fixed three-column template (who / where / what happened) for 15 two-turn exchanges, then answer without replaying.

Answer 40 two-turn and three-turn listening questions at exam pacing (two plays, no pausing between items) and log the cause of every miss as sound, vocabulary, or inference.

Preview the answer choices before each audio item plays for 20 questions and record whether previewing shortened response time.

Locate the sentence that answers each question in 8 short passages of 150–250 words and highlight it in under 60 seconds per passage.

Memorize 80 high-frequency exam words with Japanese glosses and test recall in both directions.

Summarize 10 passages of 300–450 words in three Japanese sentences each, keeping only main idea, key detail, and conclusion.

Resolve 20 指示語 items (it, this, that, one, they) by drawing the arrow from pronoun back to its referent in the text.

Complete 20 passage-embedded 空所補充 items by testing each candidate sentence against the sentences immediately before and after the gap.

Run skim-then-scan drills: read the questions first, then answer five detail questions per passage within an 8-minute limit.

Complete two full-length reading sections of long passages back-to-back in 20 minutes each to build sustained attention.

Drill 45 空所補充 grammar items covering tense and aspect, comparatives, infinitives versus gerunds, participles, and relative pronouns.

Drill 45 並べ替え word-ordering items using a fixed procedure: find the verb, fix the subject, place modifiers last, then check agreement.

Consolidate every error from weeks 1–4 into a ranked list of the ten mistake patterns that repeat most often.

Master the six grammar areas that carry the most items (tense and perfect aspect, passive, infinitives, gerunds and participles, relative clauses, comparatives) by writing one original example sentence for each rule.

Work through 150 空所補充 items, re-doing every miss 48 hours later until it is answered correctly twice in a row.

Work through 100 並べ替え items under a 90-second-per-item cap and record which step of the procedure broke down on each miss.

Memorize 120 words and 40 fixed phrases (preposition collocations, common idioms) with a same-day and next-day self-test.

Learn 30 functional expressions across six speech acts (依頼, 許可, 誘い, 断り, 謝罪, 提案) and tag each with its politeness level and typical reply.

Complete 40 会話文 items that ask for the best reply, rejecting each wrong option in writing with a one-line reason.

Record 10 self-written dialogues aloud, then replay and fix any reply that sounds grammatically correct but socially off.

Review 60 situational phrases (店, 駅, 電話, 道案内, 学校) and quiz them by scene rather than by list order.

Write 8 conditional 英作文 responses of 10–20 words under a 5-minute limit, satisfying every stated condition (content, word count, tense).

Self-edit each draft against a four-point checklist (条件充足, 語数, 時制, つづり) before comparing it with a model rewrite.

Memorize 15 reusable sentence frames for giving reasons, opinions, and suggestions, and reuse at least 8 of them across the week's writings.

Draft 4 short replies to situational prompts that require both an answer and a follow-up question.

Complete two full timed mock exams across all five domains on the real exam clock, including the listening section played straight through without pausing.

Re-drill every item still on the error list from weeks 4–7 until the list is down to 30 items or fewer.

Rehearse listening three more times under exam acoustics (speaker, no transcript, single continuous sweep) to stabilize pacing and note-taking.

Compress all remaining weak points into a one-page final review sheet organized by domain.
