Quiz for High School Students (1–10)
General Knowledge Quiz
This is a quiz on “general common knowledge” tailored for high school students who are about to step into adulthood.
It’s full of things you might think you know but actually don’t, and misconceptions you may have.
Why not take a look and try answering now, so you can realize these before becoming an adult?
High School History Quiz
This is a history workbook at the level of questions that appear on high school entrance exams.
There are as many as 50 questions in total, but by the number you can answer, you can see a reference level for which high schools you can apply to.
If you can learn to answer these questions quickly and accurately, you might be all but guaranteed great success on the entrance exam.
Proverb Quiz
This is a workbook that uses easy-to-understand proverbs.
Since the kanji that appear also include furigana, it’s very educational.
Even if these aren’t expressions you use often in everyday conversation, being able to use them in the right moment or explain their meanings will likely make others see you in a new light.
Odd one out quiz
It’s a quiz that uses shapes.
From the shapes shown, you choose the one that doesn’t belong.
You’ll think from various angles—such as color and number of strokes—to come up with answers, so it’s a good brain exercise.
It seems the content has become well-known in overseas media, so why not try this quiz that’s popular around the world?
Flag Quiz
This is a “flag quiz” for 197 countries around the world! If you’re a high school student, you probably have a rough memory of the flags of major countries.
But what about all 197? Even among adults, few people know them all.
Some flags are easy to remember, while others share almost the same design with only different colors.
It’s tough to memorize every single one, but when you learn the stories behind the flags, it’s surprisingly fun! Take this opportunity to try memorizing the flags of all 197 countries!
Tricky Kanji Quiz
Problems related to kanji are a classic in quizzes, aren’t they? By thinking of them as quizzes rather than studying, people can deepen their knowledge more casually.
Narrowing down the theme makes the content more approachable, and I think reading questions are easier for people to try.
It also sounds fun to create a set of questions that focus on common misreadings, so participants can notice their own mistakes.
Let’s encourage people to engage with readings from multiple angles, ranging from simple kanji learned in elementary school to characters they’ve left half-remembered.
Japanese Quiz
Are you using correct Japanese? This quiz asks you to choose the correct meanings of Japanese expressions that even native speakers often get wrong.
When you read the questions, you’ll probably think, “It has to be this one!”—but surprisingly, many people are mistaken.
If you’re worried about your Japanese or want to test your language skills, especially as a high school student, give it a try.
As a Japanese speaker, there’s no downside to understanding Japanese correctly.
It will surely come in handy in many situations when you enter society!
Children’s Six Codes: Law Quiz
This is a “Law Quiz” inspired by Soichiro Yamazaki’s Kodomo Roppō (Children’s Six Codes)! Law often seems very difficult, doesn’t it? But this Kodomo Roppō is designed so that even upper elementary school students can read it.
The questions asked in the video are all situations that are easy for children to imagine.
For high school students, many of these are scenarios they might actually face.
Through the quiz, reflect on your own actions and think about what was right and what was wrong.
By the time you finish, you’ll likely feel, “I should think carefully before I act.”
Kanji Quiz
This is a workbook of kanji for animal names.
Most people probably don’t often see animals written in kanji.
It has a bit of trivia mixed in, so if you remember a few, you might impress others.
There are likely kanji you wouldn’t even learn at school, so it’s also a good chance to practice some mnemonic-style memorization.
Prime Minister Quiz
Here’s a “Prime Minister Quiz” that also helps high school students study Japanese history.
Using events that occurred during each term as hints, try to answer the name of the Prime Minister at the time.
Be careful—some answers may be the same.
The question “Who is the current Prime Minister?” can even appear as general knowledge on job aptitude tests.
It never hurts to have this knowledge.
If you’re a high school student who struggles with Japanese history, try learning with this quiz in a fun way.
If you’re confident in Japanese history, use it to test your skills!
