Shiga Public High School Entrance Examination - English · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Shiga Public High School Entrance Examination in English (滋賀県公立高等学校入学者選抜 英語) is the English component of the prefectural admission selection used by Shiga's public high schools. It is taken by students finishing compulsory education in Japan who wish to enter a Shiga prefectural or municipal high school, and by some applicants transferring or re-applying, depending on each school's rules. The test is designed to measure whether a candidate can handle first-year high school English: understanding written and spoken passages, using grammar and vocabulary accurately in context, responding appropriately in conversations, writing short guided English, and explaining English meaning in Japanese. Because it is a selection test rather than a certification, results are combined with other subjects, school records and any school-specific components. The Shiga Public High School Entrance Examination - English case studies are 5 cases and about 1,891 words.
