Shizuoka Public High School Entrance Examination - English · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Shizuoka Public High School Entrance Examination in English (静岡県公立高校入試 英語) is the English component of the prefectural admission process used by Shizuoka's public high schools, including the prefectural and municipal upper secondary schools that adopt the common prefectural test. It is taken by students finishing compulsory education who want to enter a public high school in Shizuoka, and by some applicants transferring or re-entering. The test is built to measure whether a junior high graduate can use English, not just recall it: candidates listen to spoken passages and dialogues, read short and longer texts, retrieve information from practical materials, handle grammar and vocabulary in context, reorder and transform sentences, and write a short guided composition. Difficulty tracks the national Course of Study for junior high English, so the best preparation is steady, cumulative work rather than last-minute memorisation. The Shizuoka Public High School Entrance Examination - English case studies are 5 cases and about 4,950 words.
