Basic Exam Structure

The science entrance exam for Kansai University Junior High School has consistently consisted of a 45-minute exam time and 5 major questions over the past three years (2024-2026). The total number of sub-questions has remained stable at 25 to 27, and the answer format is roughly half multiple-choice and half descriptive. Notably, there were 0 calculation questions in the 2024 fiscal year, but this increased to 4 in 2025 and 5 in 2026, and it is predicted that several calculation questions will appear in the 2027 fiscal year as well. With a high number of sub-questions per unit of time, the ability to answer quickly and accurately is required.

Difficulty Trends: Overall, there are many standard-level questions, but 1-2 applied questions are always included each year. In particular, there is a tendency for applied questions that require deep consideration or the combination of multiple pieces of knowledge to appear in the physics and earth science (astronomy) fields. Since it tests not only simple knowledge but also the ability to analyze given data and diagrams and think logically, it cannot be said that the difficulty is easily high, but caution is advised.

Field Balance: Over the past three years, questions have been well-balanced across all four fields: physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science. The specific breakdown is as follows: 2024 had 1 physics, 1 biology, 1 chemistry, and 2 earth science. 2025 had 2 physics, 1 biology, and 2 earth science (no chemistry). 2026 had 2 physics, 1 biology, 1 chemistry, and 1 earth science. Based on this trend, physics and earth science are often featured in two major questions, so they may have relatively higher point allocations. While one major question each for chemistry and biology is the standard, it is important to study the basic knowledge of all fields comprehensively and not create any weak areas.

Characteristics of this school's science entrance exam: To describe this school's science entrance exam in one word, it is an exam that "tests multifaceted thinking and expressive skills based on experiments and observations." All major questions are based on experiments and observations, and the ability to read charts and graphs, make observations from experimental results, and explain them in a descriptive format is particularly emphasized. It is also characterized by many questions that pique interest while testing essential understanding, such as using everyday phenomena or historical observation instruments as subject matter.

5 Question Patterns Identified from 3-Year Analysis

As a result of a thorough analysis of the questions from the past three years (2024, 2025, and 2026), it is clear that there is a distinct "pattern" in the science entrance exam at Kansai University Junior High School. Below, I have organized and presented them into 5 patterns.
