The Yamaguchi Prefectural Public High School Entrance Examination is the common academic test used for admission to prefectural public high schools in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan.

The paper is built on the junior high school Course of Study, so it stays inside the grammar and vocabulary taught across the three years of junior high English. It checks listening, reading of longer passages, dialogue and situational understanding, grammar and vocabulary in context, and the ability to build sentences and short guided compositions.
