Wakayama Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination - English case studies

The Wakayama Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination in English is the English component of the unified entrance examination used for admission to prefectural public senior high schools in Wakayama. It is taken by students finishing junior high school, and by some older candidates, who are applying to prefectural public high schools. The English paper is designed to be accessible to students who have completed the three-year junior high English curriculum, so it tests the vocabulary, grammar, and reading strategies that candidates have already met in class rather than advanced material. In practice the paper moves from easier listening and short-dialogue items toward longer reading passages, information-retrieval tasks, sentence reordering, and finally free writing, with some items requiring short answers written in English. The Wakayama Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination - English case studies are 5 cases and about 2,553 words.
