Is Bunkai on the belt test?

Curious on one aspect of Karate training - is bunkai on the belt test?

If so, how is it tested?

If not, why not? Are the lessons learned tested in some other way?

For some schools, yes. It was at my last school, but bunkai was drilled on at least once a week there; so you weren't likely to walk into the test having forgotten anything.
