This is the answer guide to Mock Exam 10, the last of our ten free sets. If you have not sat it yet, sit it first, under real conditions - 60 minutes, headphones, nothing else open - because everything below gives it away.
Set 10 is the final rehearsal, the one to sit the week before the real test. It mixes every setting the exam uses - the workplace, shops, trains and buses, the clinic, city hall and friends - and it is pitched at the top of A2. The listening clips are full of plans that change and numbers that get corrected, and the reading texts are the densest of the ten. If you want to work through the others too, here are all ten mock exams.

Question 1
ใณใใใใใงใใใใใซใฟใฆใใใๅใซใๅๅใไปใฎไฝใฎใกใใใใชใฉใๆธใ็ดใงใใ
ใใคใใใ่ชญใใงใใใกใฐใใใใใจใฐใไธใคใใใใงใใ ใใใ
- ใใใใใ ใใใ
- ใปใใใใใ
- ใใใใใฒใใ
Answer: 3 โ ใใใใใฒใใ
ใใใใใฒใใ (medical questionnaire) is the form you fill in at a clinic before seeing the doctor, listing your name and how you feel. ใใใใใ ใใใ (receipt) is a paper you are given after paying, not one you write on, and ใปใใใใใ (health insurance card) is a card you show, not a form you fill in. At almost every Japanese clinic the receptionist hands you a ใใใใใฒใใ on a clipboard with the words ใใใกใใซใ่จๅ ฅใใ ใใใ. Learn to recognise all three words together: you show the ใปใใใใใ, fill in the ใใใใใฒใใ, and are handed the ใใใใใ ใใใ when you pay.
Question 2

- ใใคใณใใซใผใ
- ใฏใฌใธใใใซใผใ
- ICใซใผใ
Answer: 1 โ ใใคใณใใซใผใ
A card that collects points when you shop, which you can use on your next purchase, is a ใใคใณใใซใผใ. A ใฏใฌใธใใใซใผใ pays now and is billed later, and an ICใซใผใ is a prepaid card for trains and buses. At almost every till you will hear ใใใคใณใใซใผใใฏใๆใกใงใใใ (do you have a point card?). ใใใ is a fine answer.
Question 3
ๆฅๆฌใซไฝใใงใใๅคๅฝไบบใใใใคใๆใฃใฆใใชใใใฐใชใใชใใซใผใใงใใๅๅใไฝๆใใใถใฎใใจใชใฉใๆธใใฆใใใพใใ
ใใคใใใ่ชญใใงใใใกใฐใใใใใจใฐใไธใคใใใใงใใ ใใใ
- ใปใใใใใ
- ใใใใ ใใซใผใ
- ใใใใใใใ
Answer: 2 โ ใใใใ ใใซใผใ
The ใใใใ ใใซใผใ (residence card) must be carried at all times by foreign residents and shows the visa status. ใปใใใใใ (health insurance card) does not show visa information, and ใใใใใใใ (licence, such as a driving licence) is only for people who have one. Notice the grammar ๆใฃใฆใใชใใใฐใชใใชใ - โmust be carryingโ. That obligation is what rules out the other two: nobody is required by law to carry a driving licence unless they are driving.
Question 4
ใใใใชใใชใ๏ผใ๏ผใฎใงใใใไธๅบฆใณใใใใใธ่กใใพใใใ
- ใใใใชใ
- ใชใใใชใ
- ใใใใชใ
Answer: 2 โ ใชใใใชใ
ใชใใใชใ (does not get better) is what an illness does: ใใใใชใใ means โa cold clears upโ. ใใใใชใ (does not break) is for machines and objects, and ใใใใชใ (does not finish) is for events and work, not illnesses. ใชใใชใ + negative means โjust wonโt โฆโ or โnot easilyโ. It is a common pattern on the test and it nearly always pairs with a ใชใ form.
Question 5
ใใใใฎใใใใใฏใใใไฝฟใใพใใใใไปๆฅไธญใซ๏ผใ๏ผใณใใผใใฆใใใฆใใ ใใใ
- ใชใใชใ
- ใกใฃใจใ
- ใใชใใ
Answer: 3 โ ใใชใใ
ใใชใใ (without fail) fits a request to finish the copying today. ใชใใชใ and ใกใฃใจใ (not at all) are both used with a negative verb, and ใณใใผใใฆใใใฆใใ ใใ is positive, so neither fits. This is a grammar trap disguised as a vocabulary question: two of the three adverbs need a negative after them. ไปๆฅไธญใซ (ใใใใใ ใใซ) means โby the end of todayโ.
Question 6
ใใฎ้ใฏใใพใใฆ่ปใๅคใใฎใงใ่ช่ปข่ปใง้ใใฎใฏ๏ผใ๏ผใงใใ
- ใใถใชใ
- ใใใใ
- ใใใใใ
Answer: 1 โ ใใถใชใ
ใใถใชใ (dangerous) describes riding a bicycle on a narrow road with a lot of cars. ใใใใ (noisy) describes a sound, not the act of riding, and ใใใใใ (busy) describes a person, not a road. Read what the adjective is describing: ่ช่ปข่ปใง้ใใฎใฏ - โriding through by bicycleโ. Only ใใถใชใ can describe an action like that.
Question 7
ใๅพ ๅๅฎคใใฏใใฒใใใชใงใฉใๆธใใพใใใ
- ใพใกใใใใค
- ใพใกใใใใค
- ใพใกใใใใค
Answer: 1 โ ใพใกใใใใค
ๅพ ๅๅฎค is read ใพใกใใใใค (waiting room). ใพใกใใใใค uses ใใ, a reading of ๅ that belongs to other words, and ใพใกใใใใค wrongly voices the ใใค of ๅฎค. You will meet ๅพ ๅๅฎค at clinics, stations and city hall. It is built from ๅพ ใค (to wait), ๅใ and ๅฎค (room), and each part keeps its plain sound.
Question 8
ใๅธๅฝนๆใใฏใใฒใใใชใงใฉใๆธใใพใใใ
- ใใใใใ
- ใใใใใ
- ใใใใใ
Answer: 3 โ ใใใใใ
ๅธๅฝนๆ is read ใใใใใ (city hall). ใใใใใ wrongly voices the ใใ, and ใใใใใ uses ใใ, a different reading of ๅฝน that is not used in this word. The ๆ in ๅธๅฝนๆ stays ใใ. Compare ๅฐๆ (ใ ใใฉใใ), where it changes - this is why it pays to learn whole words rather than single kanji.
Question 9
ใๆฎๆฅญใใฏใใฒใใใชใงใฉใๆธใใพใใใ
- ใใใใใ
- ใใใใใ
- ใใใใ
Answer: 2 โ ใใใใใ
ๆฎๆฅญ is read ใใใใใ (overtime work). ใใใใใ is a different word (็ฃๆฅญ, industry), and ใใใใ has the wrong second half - ๆฅญ is ใใใ. ใใใใใ is the cruellest distractor here, because it is a real word. A voiced ใ at the start is the whole difference.
Question 10
ใใฃใทใ่ฒทใใ้ใ๏ผใ๏ผใฎใงใATMใงใใใใฆใใพใใ
- ๅคใ
- ๅฎใ
- ่ถณใใชใ
Answer: 3 โ ่ถณใใชใ
่ถณใใชใ (ใใใชใ, not enough) explains why you need to take money out of the ATM. If the money were ๅคใ (ใใใ, a lot) you would not need the ATM, and ๅฎใ (ใใใ, cheap) describes prices, not the money you have. ใ้ใใใใ means โto withdraw moneyโ. Read the second half of the sentence first - it tells you what the first half must say.
Question 11
ๆฅ้ฑใใไปไบใฎๆ้ใ๏ผใ๏ผใฎใงใๆ7ๆใซๆฅใฆใใ ใใใ
- ๅงใพใ
- ๅคใใ
- ๆญขใพใ
Answer: 2 โ ๅคใใ
ๅคใใ (ใใใ, to change) explains why you must come at a new time from next week. ๅงใพใ (ใฏใใพใ, to start) and ๆญขใพใ (ใจใพใ, to stop) do not explain a new arrival time - working hours do not โstartโ or โstopโ from next week. ๅคใใ (to change, intransitive) and ๅคใใ (to change something, transitive) both appear on the test. Here the hours themselves change, so it is ๆ้ใๅคใใ.
Question 12
ใพใฉใใกใงๅๅใ๏ผใ๏ผใพใงใใใใซๅบงใฃใฆใๅพ ใกใใ ใใใ
- ๅผใฐใใ
- ่ใใใ
- ๆธใ
Answer: 1 โ ๅผใฐใใ
ๅผใฐใใ (ใใฐใใ, to be called) is the passive form: you wait until your name is called. ่ใใใ (ใใใใ, can be heard) cannot take ๅๅใ, and ๆธใ (ใใ, to write) makes no sense - you would not sit and wait until you write your name. ใๅๅใใๅผใณใใใพใง (until we call your name) is what the counter staff will say. The passive ๅผใฐใใ is the same idea from your side.

Question 13

A๏ผใใใใๆฅใชใใใฐใชใใพใใใใ

- ๆฅใชใใใฐใชใใพใใ
- ๆฅใชใใฆใใใใงใ
- ๆฅใฆใฏใใใพใใ
Answer: 2 โ ๆฅใชใใฆใใใใงใ
B starts with ใใใ, so the answer is โyou do not have to comeโ: ๆฅใชใใฆใใใใงใ. ๆฅใชใใใฐใชใใพใใ (you must come) contradicts ใใใ, and ๆฅใฆใฏใใใพใใ (you must not come) is too strong - a doctor would not forbid a patient to come. Pair the forms: ใชใใใฐใชใใพใใ (must) is answered โnoโ with ใชใใฆใใใใงใ (need not). That pair turns up again and again on the test.
Question 14
ๅบใง (In a shop)
A๏ผใใฎใทใฃใใ๏ผใ๏ผใ
B๏ผใฏใใใใกใใฎใธใใใฉใใใ

- ็ใฆใฟใฆใใใใงใใ
- ็ใใใจใใใใพใใ
- ็ใชใใฆใใใใงใใ
Answer: 1 โ ็ใฆใฟใฆใใใใงใใ
็ใฆใฟใฆใใใใงใใ (may I try it on?) is answered by the assistant pointing to the fitting room. ็ใใใจใใใใพใใ (have you ever worn it?) and ็ใชใใฆใใใใงใใ (may I not wear it?) do not lead to โthis way to the roomโ. ใใฆใฟใ means โtry doingโ, and ใใฆใใใใงใใ asks permission. Together they make the polite fitting-room request you will use in every clothes shop.
Question 15
ใในใฆใใง (At a bus stop)
A๏ผใในใใพใ ๆฅใพใใใญใ
B๏ผ้จใฎๆฅใฏใในใ๏ผใ๏ผใใใใใๅฐใๅพ ใกใพใใใใ

- ใใใใชใใใใงใ
- ใใใใใใใพใ
- ใใใใใใใงใ
Answer: 3 โ ใใใใใใใงใ
ใใใใใใ (tends to be late) describes what buses do on rainy days, which is why they should wait. ใใใใชใใใใงใ (I hear it wonโt be late) does not explain waiting longer, and ใใใใใพใ (wants to) is used for people, not buses. ใใใใ after the verb stem means โeasy toโ or โtends toโ: ใใใใใใ, ใใใใใใ, ใใใใใใ. ้จใฎๆฅใฏ sets up a general habit, which is exactly what ใใใใ expresses.
Question 16
ๅใ ใกใฎๅฎถใซ่กใ (Visiting a friendโs home)
A๏ผใใใใไฝๆใใ่กใใฐใใใงใใใ

- ็ตใใใชใใ
- ็ตใใๅใซ
- ็ตใใฃใฆใใ
Answer: 3 โ ็ตใใฃใฆใใ
B works until 2, so A should come after work finishes: ็ตใใฃใฆใใ. ็ตใใๅใซ (before it finishes) contradicts B being at work, and ็ตใใใชใใ (while finishing) is not a time to visit. ใใฆใใ puts two actions in order: first the one before ใฆใใ, then the next.
Question 17
ๅใ ใกใจ (Talking with a friend)
A๏ผ้ฑๆซใใใฃใใใซ่ฑ่ฆใซ่กใใพใใใใ
B๏ผใใใงใใญใใงใใๅคฉๆฐใใปใใซใใใจใๅๆๆฅใฏ้จใ๏ผใ๏ผใใ

- ใตใใใใงใ
- ใตใใใใงใ
- ใตใฃใฆใใใใงใ
Answer: 1 โ ใตใใใใงใ
ๅคฉๆฐใใปใใซใใใจ (according to the weather forecast) is reported information, so it needs hearsay ใใใงใ after the plain form: ใตใใใใงใ. ใตใใใใงใ (looks like it will rain) is a guess from what you can see, which does not fit ใซใใใจ, and ใตใฃใฆใใใใงใ (it may rain - permission) makes no sense. This is the hardest grammar item in the set. ใใใใงใ after a plain verb = โI hear thatโ; ใใใใงใ after the stem = โit looks likeโ. ใซใใใจ always goes with the first.
Question 18
ๅทฅๅ ดใง (In a factory)

- ใใฆใฆใใ ใใ
Answer: 2 โ ใใฎใพใพใซใใฆใใใฆใใ ใใ
ใใฎใพใพใซใใฆใใใฆใใ ใใ (please leave it as it is) fits โwe are still using itโ. ใใพใฃใฆใใ ใใ (please put it away) and ใใฆใฆใใ ใใ (please throw it away) both contradict ใพใ ไฝฟใใพใ. ใใฎใพใพ means โas it isโ. ใใฆใใ here means leaving something in a state on purpose - a very common instruction at work.
Question 19
ๅใฎไผ็คพใฎๅ ใฑใใซใๅๅนดใถใใซไผใ (Meeting a senior from your old company for the first time in six months)
A๏ผ๏ผใ๏ผใใๅ ๆฐใงใใใใ

- ใใฒใใใถใใงใ
- ใใใใใพใง
- ใใพใใใใพใใ
Answer: 1 โ ใใฒใใใถใใงใ
After not seeing someone for a long time you say ใใฒใใใถใใงใ. ใใใใใพใง answers a question about how you are, and ใใพใใใใพใใ apologises for keeping someone waiting. ใใฒใใใถใใงใ is usually followed by ใๅ ๆฐใงใใใ (have you been well?), as it is here.
Question 20
ใฌใธใงใใใใใใ ใใใใใปใใ (At the till, wanting a receipt)
A๏ผใใใใจใใใใใพใใใ

- ใใใใใ ใใใใฏใใฃใใใงใ
- ใใใใใ ใใใใใใญใใใใพใ
Answer: 3 โ ใใใใใ ใใใใใใญใใใใพใ
ใใใใใ ใใใใใใญใใใใพใ (a receipt, please) is how a customer asks for a receipt. ใใใใใ ใใใใฏใใฃใใใงใ means โI donโt need a receiptโ, the opposite of what you want, and ใใใใใพใ (I will give you) is what staff would say, not the customer. ใใฃใใใงใ is a classic trap: it means โno thank youโ when you are offered something. Use ใใญใใใใพใ when you want it.
Question 21

- ใพใไปๅบฆใใญใใใใพใ
Answer: 2 โ ใ้ป่ฉฑใๅฐใ้ ใใใใชใใงใใ
ใ้ป่ฉฑใ้ ใใใใชใใงใใ (the line seems faint) is the set phrase for โI canโt hear you wellโ, which leads into asking for a louder voice. ใๅ ใซใใคใใใใพใ is said when leaving work before others, and ใพใไปๅบฆใใญใใใใพใ (another time, please) ends a conversation instead of continuing it. ใ้ป่ฉฑใ้ ใ literally means โyour phone is far awayโ. It is the polite way to say the line is bad without blaming the caller.
Question 22
ๅผใฃใใๅใซใใจใชใใฎไบบใซใใใใคใใ (Saying goodbye to a neighbour before moving out)
A๏ผๆฅ้ฑใๅผใฃใใใใจใซใชใใพใใใ้ทใ้ใ๏ผใ๏ผใ

- ใใใใซใชใใพใใ
- ใฉใใใใใใใใญใใใใพใ
- ใใใใพใใพใใ
Answer: 1 โ ใใใใซใชใใพใใ
When you leave after a long time, you thank people with ใใใใซใชใใพใใ. ใฉใใใใใใใใญใใใใพใ is for when you first arrive, and ใใใใพใใพใใ is said leaving someoneโs home after a visit. Arriving and leaving have their own phrases: ใใใใใใญใใใใพใ when you move in, ใใใใซใชใใพใใ when you move out or leave a job.
Question 23

- ใใฎ็ดใฎๆธใๆนใๆใใฆใใใ ใใพใใใ
Answer: 3 โ ใใฎ็ดใฎๆธใๆนใๆใใฆใใใ ใใพใใใ
ๆใใฆใใใ ใใพใใใ (could you please show me) asks for help, and B answers by asking which part is unclear. ใใใฃใฆใใใใงใใ (may I take this?) and ๆธใใชใใฆใใใใงใใ (may I not fill this in?) do not lead to โwhich part donโt you understand?โ. ใใฆใใใ ใใพใใใ is the most polite request form you need for the test. Bโs reply is the clue - always read the line after the gap.
Question 24

ใใใใ่กใใใใใ ใใฉ (sorry, Iโd like to, butโฆ) is a soft refusal that leads into ไปๆฅใฏใกใใฃใจโฆ. ใใใ่กใใ (yes, letโs go) and ใใใญใไฝๆใซ๏ผ (great, what time?) both accept the invitation, which contradicts ใกใใฃใจโฆ. ใกใใฃใจโฆ trailing off is how Japanese people say no without saying no. The casual plain form fits because they are friends.

M: Ms Hayashi, have you copied the documents for tomorrowโs meeting yet? / F: No, Iโm about to. Is twenty copies right? / M: Ah, about that - apparently the manager wants to revise them a bit more. Please wait until he has checked them before copying. / F: All right. Then Iโll book the meeting room first. / M: Oh, Iโve already booked the room. More importantly, please take those documents to the managerโs desk. / F: Yes, Iโll take them right away.
The woman first offers to copy the documents, then to book the room, but both are cancelled: the copying must wait for the managerโs check, and the man has already booked the room. What she will actually do is take the documents to the desk of the manager (้จ้ทใฎๆบ, ใถใกใใใฎใคใใ). Two plans are offered and two are knocked down. ใใใใ (more importantly / rather than that) is the signal that the real instruction is coming.

Actually, at the station I suddenly got toothache, and I went to the dentist. / F: Oh, I see.
He denies the cold (ใใใใใชใ), and the trains started again soon (ใใๅใใ), so neither is the reason. He took the day off because he suddenly got toothache (ๆญฏใใใใใชใฃใ) and went to the dentist (ใฏใใใ). ใใคใฏ (actually, to tell the truth) is one of the strongest signals in JFT listening: what follows it is usually the answer.

The shoes are 4,800 yen minus 500 yen, so 4,300 yen. He changes his mind (ใใฃใฑใ) from two pairs of socks to one, adding 300 yen: 4,600 yen. 4,900 yen counts two pairs of socks, and 5,100 yen forgets the sale. Every wrong option here is a real mistake a listener makes: missing the discount, or missing ใใฃใฑใ. Jot the numbers down as you hear them.

Wednesday the 15th clashes with his work, and Thursday morning is also a working time for him. He chooses Saturday the 18th in the morning (ๅๅ), the only time the clinic is open on Saturdays. ๅๅไธญ (ใใใใกใ ใ) means โduring the morningโ.

Today we will use the new machine. Before you start work, be sure to put on gloves. When the work is finished, switch the machine off straight away. The cleaning comes after that. Put the gloves in the box after the cleaning is finished.

Answer: 3 โ ่ชๅใฎใใฏใใจ1,000ๅ
Each guest brings their own chopsticks (ใใฏใใฏใ่ชๅใฎใใฎใ) and 1,000 yen. Rin is buying the takoyaki ingredients (ใใใใใ) herself (็งใ่ฒทใฃใฆใใใพใ), so both options with the ingredients are wrong. Read who does what: ็งใ (Rin) buys the ingredients, and ่ชๅใฎ (each guest) brings their own chopsticks.

Answer: 1 โ 7:40
Morning work starts at 8:30, and only the 7:40 bus reaches the factory before that, at 8:05. The 8:20 bus arrives at 8:45, after work has started, and the 9:10 bus is later still. ้ใซๅใ (ใพใซใใ) means to be in time. The question gives a start time but asks for a departure time. Read across each row - departure on the left, arrival on the right. ๅนณๆฅ (ใธใใใค) means weekdays.
Question 42
The same text as question 41.

Answer: 3 โ 10:30
On Saturdays only the 9:10 and 10:30 buses run. The 10:30 bus arrives at 10:55, before the 11:00 part-time shift starts, so it is the latest one that makes it. The 8:20 bus does not run on Saturdays, and the 9:10 bus is in time but is not the latest. A footnote marked โป changes the whole table - always read the notes under a timetable.

From April, burnable rubbish (ใใใใใฟ) goes out on Mondays and Thursdays. Tuesday and Friday are the old days, in brackets (3ๆใพใงใฏ, until March), and Saturday is for plastic bottles (ใใใใใใซ). Brackets in a notice usually hold the old information. ็ฌฌ1ใป็ฌฌ3 (ใ ใใใกใปใ ใใใ) means โthe first and thirdโ of the month.

Rubbish must go out by 8 a.m. on the collection day. Putting it out the night before is forbidden (ๅบใใฆใฏใใใพใใ), and bottles and cans go out only on the first and third Wednesdays, not every week. In a โwhich is correctโ question, check every option against the text. ๆฏ้ฑ (every week) against ็ฌฌ1ใป็ฌฌ3 is the kind of small word that decides it.

Answer: 3 โ ๅๅพ4ๆ
The white medicine needs a gap of at least six hours (6ๆ้ไปฅไธใใใฆ). Six hours after 10 a.m. is 4 p.m. (ๅๅพ4ๆ). 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. are only three and four hours later. ไปฅไธ (ใใใใ) means โor moreโ, and ใใใ here means โleave a gapโ. This is the one item in the set that needs arithmetic.

Point โข says that if you are not better after three days, come to the clinic again (ใใไธๅบฆๆฅใฆใใ ใใ). The white medicine is only for a fever over 38 degrees, and the yellow one is one tablet per dose. The last numbered point on a medicine slip often says what to do if things do not get better. Never take more than the slip says.

Answer: 1 โ Aใณใผใน
Someone who works late on weekdays needs a weekend class, and only Course A meets on Saturday (ๅๆๆฅ 10:00ใ12:00). Courses B and C both meet on weekday evenings from 7 to 9, which clash with late work. ไผใฟใฎๆฅ means a day off. Turn the question into a condition first - here, โnot on a weekday eveningโ - and then check each row against it.
Question 48
The same text as question 47.
ใฏใใใฆใBใณใผในใซใใใใใฟใพใใใ1ใๆ็ฎใฏใใใใฏใใใพใใใ
- 3,500ๅ
- 2,500ๅ
- 1,000ๅ
Answer: 2 โ 2,500ๅ
Course B is 3,500 yen a month, and first-timers get 1,000 yen off the first month, so it costs 2,500 yen. 3,500ๅ forgets the discount, and 1,000ๅ is only the discount itself. 1ใๆ็ฎ means the first month. Footnotes marked โป often hold a discount. Apply it only where it says: ใฏใใใฆใฎไบบ, 1ใๆ็ฎ.
What to do with your score
Whatever you scored, the number is less useful than the questions behind it. Go back through every item you got wrong, and every one you guessed, and write down which trap caught you - a correction you missed, a footnote you skipped, a ใใใงใ you misread. Our guide to reviewing a mock test shows how to turn that list into a plan, and how JFT-Basic scaled scoring works explains why a raw score out of 48 is only a rough guide to the 250-point scale.
This was the last of the ten sets. For one more full rehearsal, sit the free exam demo - the same four sections on one 60-minute clock - and then read what to do in the final two weeks before test day.
