　The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships of past test experience with a physical fitness score which was measured by a national survey of children (elementary school and junior high school students) in 2008. National survey data in each prefecture, related to the physical fitness score (V1: 2008 data), the test experience (V2: 2007 data), and rate of school children in remote areas (V3: 2008 data) which was published by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in 2007 & 2008 were used for this study. Semi-partial correlation coefficients of V2 with the residuals of V1 that had been predicted by V3 were calculated for each gender and age. There were moderate correlations (r=0.547―0.736) between the physical fitness score and the test experience for each age and gender. The highest correlations (|r|=0.743― 0.810) were when the rate for test experience was under 80% (elementary school) or under 90% (junior high school). Meanwhile, the lowest correlations (|r|=0.042―0.122) were when the rate for test experience was over 90% (elementary school) or over 95% (junior high school). These findings suggest that test experience is related to the physical fitness score of the national survey in 2008. Meanwhile, in cases when the rate for test experience is over 90% (elementary school) or over 95% (junior high school), the test experience might be almost unrelated to the physical fitness score in the 2008 national survey.
