Quiz for high school students

We’ve put together a collection of quizzes for high school students!

From quizzes that deepen your knowledge, to brain-teasing puzzles perfect for a mental workout, to fun games you can enjoy with friends like “Name That Intro,” we’ll be introducing a wide variety.

Quiz for High School Students (11–20)

High School Baseball Difficult School-Name Quiz

For high school students, isn’t high school baseball an essential event? Seeing peers single-mindedly pursue their dreams really resonates, doesn’t it? How about deepening that interest with a quiz about high school baseball? It’s a simple format: we present schools that have appeared at Koshien over the years, and you guess how their names are read.

School names carry various histories—some reflect regional characteristics—so let’s use the quiz to build a sense of familiarity.

Challenging place names might even be helpful for studying geography.

Riddle Quiz

[Riddle Quiz] “Tempura” and “a parent who went to their child’s class observation”—what do they have in common? [Shimofuri Myojo]
Riddle Quiz

This is a quiz themed around Nazokake, a traditional Japanese wordplay game.

Nazokake is also used as a prompt in comedy improv (oogiri).

Since it relies on language, breadth of knowledge, and creativity, thinking about the reasoning behind completed examples can help improve your Japanese.

When elements like sound, or words with double meanings, are skillfully woven in, it can be quite moving.

After answering a series of quizzes that use completed Nazokake, it might be fun to try coming up with an original one of your own at the end.

English Listening Quiz

Native English Listening Practice: Sharpen your listening skills with a quiz-style approach
English Listening Quiz

Aren’t there actually many high school students who struggle with English listening? In this quiz, you’ll listen to native English and answer what is being said.

Each phrase is repeated twice, so listen carefully.

If you find listening questions on tests difficult, take this chance to give it a try.

On the third round, the sentence will be shown on screen and pronounced slowly so you can check your answer.

Get used to native English so you won’t miss anything due to nerves during tests!

Arunashi quiz

Odd-one-out puzzles: 6 brain teasers that feel great when you solve them!
Arunashi quiz

If you want to test your powers of observation and quick thinking, we recommend the “Aru Nashi” quiz.

In an Aru Nashi quiz, you compare a group that has something (“aru”) with a group that doesn’t (“nashi”) and try to guess what the common feature is in the “aru” group.

Unlike riddles that rely on wordplay or sudden flashes of insight, this quiz encourages calm, logical thinking to find the commonality, so it’s also great for developing logical reasoning skills! You can create endless problems by changing the theme, so be sure to try a variety of them!

Rule Quiz

[Rule Quiz] A tricky problem with two possible answers! Be careful not to get caught out.
Rule Quiz

This is a “rule quiz” that requires a flash of inspiration! Find the underlying rules behind puzzles that use numbers, kanji, symbols, and more to arrive at the answers.

You won’t get them by thinking in a straightforward way, so it’s important to look at each problem from different angles.

There are practice questions to loosen up your thinking before tackling the main set.

It’s recommended for high school students who enjoy puzzles or challenging quizzes.

If you can solve these easily, you might even be able to create your own quizzes!

Google’s entrance exam

[UTokyo Student Test] Seriously trying to solve Google’s job interview questions
Google's entrance exam

Did you know there’s a book called “Unofficial Google Job Interview Questions”? Google’s hiring process is known for featuring interesting puzzles and problems that require some serious thinking to solve.

High school students, why not try tackling these interview questions in this video? Some of the problems are so tough that even University of Tokyo students get them wrong, so they might be a bit challenging for high schoolers—but they’re fascinating and highly recommended.

While knowledge is certainly important, high school students with strong thinking skills might just get the right answers!

Business Honorifics Quiz

[Business Manners] Basics of Keigo (Honorific Language) [Quiz]
Business Honorifics Quiz

Some high school students may choose to enter the workforce instead of continuing their education.

Once you step into society, even if you were a high school student just last year, you’ll be expected to use professional language and manners.

That’s why we recommend this “Business Keigo Quiz”! In this quiz, you’ll answer questions about respectful and humble forms—the fundamentals of keigo.

It’s useful not only for business emails but also when speaking with superiors in real-life situations.

Use this quiz to master the basics of keigo before starting your professional life!

World Masterpieces Quiz

World’s 50 Greatest Paintings Quiz (Beginner, 1–25) [Western Art]
World Masterpieces Quiz

This is a “Famous Paintings of the World” quiz that’s fun to watch and fun to learn from.

Name the title and the artist of each masterpiece shown in the video.

If you like art, you’ll recognize many of these works, and there are plenty that high school students might find vaguely familiar from textbooks or TV specials.

Since this is the beginner level, the difficulty is on the easier side.

High school students who want to study art history are encouraged to give it a try.

It’s also useful for test and entrance exam prep.

Four-character idiom fill-in-the-blank quiz

[Challenging! Four-Character Idiom Fill-in-the-Blank Quiz] Difficult but fun! Insert the correct kanji into the blanks to complete the four-character idioms [15 questions in total]
Four-character idiom fill-in-the-blank quiz

Although they aren’t used very often in everyday life, four-character idioms frequently appear on tests.

In this quiz, you’ll answer them in a fill-in-the-blank format.

It can be hard to supply the entire expression, but two of the four characters are shown, and partway through you’ll also get the idiom’s meaning as a hint, so the difficulty is on the easier side.

It also helps you study by learning the idioms together with their meanings, so I’d love for high school students to give it a try.

If you’re confident, try answering without the meaning hints!

World Masterpieces Quiz

Quiz: Can you identify world classics in a single phrase?
World Masterpieces Quiz

This is a quiz that uses plot summaries of works celebrated as masterpieces around the world.

You’ll condense each story—right up to its ending—into a short sentence, and others will try to guess which work it introduces.

Forcing an epic story into a very short form makes the content a bit vague, and that’s part of the fun.

The more casual and offhand the phrasing—like lines that evoke a character’s voice—and the rougher the question, the higher the difficulty.

It’s important to craft the wording cleverly, such as deliberately including motifs shared with other works to mislead the reader.
