Shimane Public High School Entrance Examination - Social Studies case studies

The Shimane Public High School Entrance Examination in Social Studies (島根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 Shimane Prefecture's public high schools to select entrants. It is taken mainly by third-year students of Shimane junior high schools, and also by applicants from outside the prefecture or from other school backgrounds who apply to Shimane public high schools. It is a prefecture-set paper, not a national one, so its flavour differs from papers in other prefectures. The paper draws on the full junior high social studies curriculum: geography of Japan and the world, the regional geography of Shimane and the Chūgoku region, Japanese history from ancient times to the present, world history, civics covering the Constitution, human rights, politics, the economy and international relations, and the skills of reading maps, graphs, statistics and historical sources. The Shimane Public High School Entrance Examination - Social Studies case studies are 5 cases and about 2,963 words.
