We support a wide range of fields from the liberal arts examination of the civil service examination to the frequently occurring fields of physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science, from national general employment to local seniors and city hall examinations. Carefully selected good questions that were all asked in the past.

I will explain the questions about the natural sciences of the civil service examination.

Explains the frequency of questions in the natural sciences in the civil service examination, the priority of measures, the difference in difficulty with those who are from science or major in university or high school, the tendency of questions by subject, measures and study methods. I will continue.

[How many questions will be given in the exam]

Questions related to the natural sciences will be given in the liberal arts examination of the civil service examination. Depending on the exam, about 30 to 50 questions will be asked in the entire liberal arts exam, of which about 7 questions will be asked in the entire natural sciences. In addition, some exams require all questions, while others allow you to choose the questions you want to answer, such as 40 out of 50 questions. Questions related to the natural sciences are given from mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science, and one or two questions are given from each subject. Also, depending on the year, some subjects may not be given.

[Importance & Priority]

Basically, the questions are given from the learning range of junior high school to high school, and most of them are related to basic and basic fields.

・ When compared with other liberal arts subjects

In the case of national civil servants, the grades of the liberal arts exam are a factor to consider in determining the final pass at the same rate as the personal exam, and the closer you can get a good grade in the liberal arts exam, the closer you will pass. Therefore, when aiming for a high score in the liberal arts test, it is necessary to take measures related to the natural sciences. On the other hand, if you do not aim for a high score in the liberal arts test, you can get a passing score in other subjects other than the natural sciences, so the importance and priority will decrease.

In the case of local public servants, it varies depending on the local government, but the number of local governments that do not consider the results of the liberal arts test so much and place importance on the results of the personal test is increasing. Therefore, if the local government places importance on the results of the personal examination, it is not necessary to aim for a high score in the liberal arts examination, so the importance and priority for the natural sciences will decrease.

[Priority of study]

Let's take measures for earth science and biology with the highest priority in the natural sciences. Since many simple knowledge questions are asked, it is a subject that anyone in the natural sciences can easily take measures and become a score source.

In mathematics, questions from the range of mathematics IA frequently appear, so those who are good at mathematics can easily use it as a score source by taking measures, so the priority of measures will increase. On the other hand, for those who are not good at mathematics, it is sufficient to give priority to other subjects and take prima facie measures. Medium priority within the natural sciences.

I think that some people did not take physics and chemistry when they were in high school. It is not necessary to take measures for the entire range of questions, but it is sufficient to take measures for the range of frequent questions. The priority within the natural sciences is not very high.

【difficulty】

Natural science questions are basically given from the learning range of junior high school to high school, and most of them are related to basic and basic fields. Therefore, it is not so difficult for those who have taken proper measures, but it is a difficult problem for those who have not taken measures at all.

◆ Is it advantageous for science graduates?

As for the problems related to the natural sciences, the questions related to the contents handled in junior high school to high school are set. Therefore, even if you have graduated from a high school or university that is not a science course, you will be asked questions that you have learned in high school, so it is not an overwhelmingly advantageous subject for those who have graduated from a science course.

However, some high schools have elective courses in physics and chemistry, and some do not take one. Compared to such people, science graduates have some advantages because they are learning both physics and chemistry. Also, if you have graduated from a science university, you will have the opportunity to touch on the contents of the questions in the natural sciences in a university lecture. Compared to those who did not touch on the contents of the questions in the natural sciences after graduating from high school, the amount of study to remember is less because there is less memory loss because of the opportunity to touch. Is advantageous.

Therefore, the problem of natural science is not an overwhelmingly advantageous subject for those who have graduated from science, and even those who are not from science can be sufficiently used as a score source.

[Countermeasures and study methods]

Study using the well-established university entrance exam or civil service exam reference book and the past papers of the desired civil service exam. For subjects that you are good at, solve past questions, and for problems that you make a mistake, look at reference books, etc., and repeat the cycle of reconfirming your knowledge. For subjects that you are not good at, first read the reference book for that subject and grasp the principles and principles of that subject unit. After that, solve some simple problems in the past and learn how to use the principles. At the end, solve the past questions as well as the subjects you are good at, and if you make a mistake, look at the reference books and repeat the cycle of reconfirming your knowledge. It is not enough to just read the reference books for both the subjects that you are good at and the subjects that you are not good at. It is important to repeat the exercises until just before.

・ Frequent fields of physics

Problems with mechanics, electromagnetism, and waves are frequent. There are many hints in the question, so repeat the exercises to get used to them so that you can use them well. In addition, physics handled in high school expresses phenomena with mathematical formulas, so it is a subject that people who have never learned will have resistance. However, the phenomenon that you try to express using mathematical formulas may be a phenomenon that you are familiar with in your daily life or a phenomenon that you learned in junior high school. If you find it difficult, you may be able to understand it by going back to the basics.

・ Frequent fields of chemistry

Problems related to theoretical chemistry and inorganic chemistry are frequent. Theoretical chemistry has problems related to the calculation of molecular weight, mass, and amount of substance. These are problems that cannot be solved without knowing them, so once you have acquired the necessary knowledge such as calculation methods, let's repeat the exercises so that you can master them. In addition, problems related to inorganic chemistry include problems related to the properties of substances. These are problems that cannot be solved without knowing them, so once you have memorized them, repeat the exercises many times to establish your memory.

・ Frequent fields of mathematics

Frequent problems with numbers and formulas, inequalities, functions, and graphs. In addition to simple calculation problems, blank-filling questions are also given. Since the questions from the range of Mathematics IA are frequently asked, I think that the main study is to remember. Let's solve the past questions repeatedly so that you can master the solution.

・ Frequent fields of living things

Problems with animal and plant homeostasis, metabolism, heredity, and ecosystems are frequent. Since these are memorization subjects, they are problems that cannot be solved without knowing them, but since there are many familiar elements in daily life, I think it is easier to study than other subjects. Once you have acquired the basic knowledge, repeat the exercises many times to establish your memory.

・ Frequent fields of earth science

Frequent problems with weather, astronomical, earthquakes, and volcanoes. Since these are memorization subjects, they are problems that cannot be solved without knowing them, but since there are many familiar elements in daily life, I think it is easier to study than other subjects. Once you have acquired the basic knowledge, repeat the exercises many times to establish your memory.
