Basic Structure of the Exam

The science entrance exam at Kyoto Bunkyo Junior High School is fixed at 6 major questions, while the number of sub-questions varies by year: 31 in 2024, 41 in 2025, and 27 in 2026. A balance of multiple-choice, descriptive, and calculation questions is presented every year, but descriptive questions are a notable trend, appearing more than 10 times annually (12 in 2024, 11 in 2025, 11 in 2026), representing a high ratio relative to the total number of sub-questions. Calculation questions appear 3 to 4 times each year.

Difficulty Trends: Overall, the focus is on 'standard' level questions, but 'applied/difficult' questions are occasionally seen, such as Question 5 (speed of light measurement) in 2025. The trend of requiring the ability to apply basic knowledge continues, as questions include not just simple rote memorization, but also the interpretation of experimental results and complex reasoning.

Field Balance: Looking at the trends over the past 3 years, questions are balanced across the four fields of physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science. There is no bias toward a specific field, and 1 to 2 major questions are usually assigned to each. For example, in 2024 there were 2 earth science, 2 chemistry, 2 physics, and 1 biology (with some overlap); in 2025 there were 1 earth science, 2 biology, 2 chemistry, and 1 physics; and in 2026 there were 1 earth science, 2 biology, 2 physics, and 1 chemistry, covering almost all fields every year.

Characteristics of this School's Science Entrance Exam: The greatest characteristic of the Kyoto Bunkyo Junior High School science entrance exam is the emphasis on experiment and observation questions, and the requirement to accurately read charts and diagrams (graphs, figures, weather maps, etc.) obtained from them, and to think and describe them logically. There is also a uniqueness in incorporating current themes such as SDGs and environmental issues into science questions.

6 Question Patterns Seen from 3-Year Analysis

As a result of a thorough analysis of the past 3 years (2024, 2025, 2026) of questions, it is clear that there is a distinct 'pattern' in the Kyoto Bunkyo Junior High School science entrance exam. I will organize and present them in the following 6 patterns.
