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.

  2. ใปใ‘ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚‡ใ†
  3. ใ‚‚ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚“ใฒใ‚‡ใ†

Answer: 3 โ€” ใ‚‚ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚“ใฒใ‚‡ใ†

ใ‚‚ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚“ใฒใ‚‡ใ† (medical questionnaire) is the form you fill in at a clinic before seeing the doctor, listing your name and how you feel. ใ‚Šใ‚‡ใ†ใ—ใ‚…ใ†ใ—ใ‚‡ (receipt) is a paper you are given after paying, not one you write on, and ใปใ‘ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚‡ใ† (health insurance card) is a card you show, not a form you fill in. At almost every Japanese clinic the receptionist hands you a ใ‚‚ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚“ใฒใ‚‡ใ† on a clipboard with the words ใ€Œใ“ใกใ‚‰ใซใ”่จ˜ๅ…ฅใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€. Learn to recognise all three words together: you show the ใปใ‘ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚‡ใ†, fill in the ใ‚‚ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚“ใฒใ‚‡ใ†, and are handed the ใ‚Šใ‚‡ใ†ใ—ใ‚…ใ†ใ—ใ‚‡ when you pay.

Question 2

  1. ใƒใ‚คใƒณใƒˆใ‚ซใƒผใƒ‰
  2. ใ‚ฏใƒฌใ‚ธใƒƒใƒˆใ‚ซใƒผใƒ‰
  3. ICใ‚ซใƒผใƒ‰

Answer: 1 โ€” ใƒใ‚คใƒณใƒˆใ‚ซใƒผใƒ‰

A card that collects points when you shop, which you can use on your next purchase, is a ใƒใ‚คใƒณใƒˆใ‚ซใƒผใƒ‰. A ใ‚ฏใƒฌใ‚ธใƒƒใƒˆใ‚ซใƒผใƒ‰ pays now and is billed later, and an ICใ‚ซใƒผใƒ‰ is a prepaid card for trains and buses. At almost every till you will hear ใ€Œใƒใ‚คใƒณใƒˆใ‚ซใƒผใƒ‰ใฏใŠๆŒใกใงใ™ใ‹ใ€ (do you have a point card?). ใ„ใ„ใˆ is a fine answer.

Question 3

  1. ใปใ‘ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚‡ใ†
  2. ใ–ใ„ใ‚Šใ‚…ใ†ใ‚ซใƒผใƒ‰
  3. ใ‚ใ‚“ใใ‚‡ใ—ใ‚‡ใ†

Answer: 2 โ€” ใ–ใ„ใ‚Šใ‚…ใ†ใ‚ซใƒผใƒ‰

The ใ–ใ„ใ‚Šใ‚…ใ†ใ‚ซใƒผใƒ‰ (residence card) must be carried at all times by foreign residents and shows the visa status. ใปใ‘ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚‡ใ† (health insurance card) does not show visa information, and ใ‚ใ‚“ใใ‚‡ใ—ใ‚‡ใ† (licence, such as a driving licence) is only for people who have one. Notice the grammar ๆŒใฃใฆใ„ใชใ‘ใ‚Œใฐใชใ‚‰ใชใ„ - โ€œmust 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

ใ‹ใœใŒใชใ‹ใชใ‹๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใฎใงใ€ใ‚‚ใ†ไธ€ๅบฆใณใ‚‡ใ†ใ„ใ‚“ใธ่กŒใใพใ—ใŸใ€‚

  1. ใ“ใ‚ใ‚Œใชใ„
  2. ใชใŠใ‚‰ใชใ„
  3. ใŠใ‚ใ‚‰ใชใ„

Answer: 2 โ€” ใชใŠใ‚‰ใชใ„

ใชใŠใ‚‰ใชใ„ (does not get better) is what an illness does: ใ‹ใœใŒใชใŠใ‚‹ means โ€œa cold clears upโ€. ใ“ใ‚ใ‚Œใชใ„ (does not break) is for machines and objects, and ใŠใ‚ใ‚‰ใชใ„ (does not finish) is for events and work, not illnesses. ใชใ‹ใชใ‹ + negative means โ€œjust wonโ€™t โ€ฆโ€ or โ€œnot easilyโ€. It is a common pattern on the test and it nearly always pairs with a ใชใ„ form.

Question 5

ใ‹ใ„ใŽใฎใ—ใ‚Šใ‚‡ใ†ใฏใ‚ใ—ใŸไฝฟใ„ใพใ™ใ‹ใ‚‰ใ€ไปŠๆ—ฅไธญใซ๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใ‚ณใƒ”ใƒผใ—ใฆใŠใ„ใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ใชใ‹ใชใ‹
  2. ใกใฃใจใ‚‚
  3. ใ‹ใชใ‚‰ใš

Answer: 3 โ€” ใ‹ใชใ‚‰ใš

ใ‹ใชใ‚‰ใš (without fail) fits a request to finish the copying today. ใชใ‹ใชใ‹ and ใกใฃใจใ‚‚ (not at all) are both used with a negative verb, and ใ‚ณใƒ”ใƒผใ—ใฆใŠใ„ใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ 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. ไปŠๆ—ฅไธญใซ (ใใ‚‡ใ†ใ˜ใ‚…ใ†ใซ) means โ€œby the end of todayโ€.

Question 6

ใ“ใฎ้“ใฏใ›ใพใใฆ่ปŠใŒๅคšใ„ใฎใงใ€่‡ช่ปข่ปŠใง้€šใ‚‹ใฎใฏ๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใงใ™ใ€‚

  1. ใ‚ใถใชใ„
  2. ใ†ใ‚‹ใ•ใ„
  3. ใ„ใใŒใ—ใ„

Answer: 1 โ€” ใ‚ใถใชใ„

ใ‚ใถใชใ„ (dangerous) describes riding a bicycle on a narrow road with a lot of cars. ใ†ใ‚‹ใ•ใ„ (noisy) describes a sound, not the act of riding, and ใ„ใใŒใ—ใ„ (busy) describes a person, not a road. Read what the adjective is describing: ่‡ช่ปข่ปŠใง้€šใ‚‹ใฎใฏ - โ€œriding through by bicycleโ€. Only ใ‚ใถใชใ„ can describe an action like that.

Question 7

ใ€Œๅพ…ๅˆๅฎคใ€ใฏใ€ใฒใ‚‰ใŒใชใงใฉใ†ๆ›ธใใพใ™ใ‹ใ€‚

  1. ใพใกใ‚ใ„ใ—ใค
  2. ใพใกใ”ใ†ใ—ใค
  3. ใพใกใ‚ใ„ใ˜ใค

Answer: 1 โ€” ใพใกใ‚ใ„ใ—ใค

ๅพ…ๅˆๅฎค is read ใพใกใ‚ใ„ใ—ใค (waiting room). ใพใกใ”ใ†ใ—ใค uses ใ”ใ†, a reading of ๅˆ that belongs to other words, and ใพใกใ‚ใ„ใ˜ใค wrongly voices the ใ—ใค of ๅฎค. You will meet ๅพ…ๅˆๅฎค at clinics, stations and city hall. It is built from ๅพ…ใค (to wait), ๅˆใ† and ๅฎค (room), and each part keeps its plain sound.

Question 8

ใ€Œๅธ‚ๅฝนๆ‰€ใ€ใฏใ€ใฒใ‚‰ใŒใชใงใฉใ†ๆ›ธใใพใ™ใ‹ใ€‚

  1. ใ—ใ‚„ใใ˜ใ‚‡
  2. ใ—ใˆใใ—ใ‚‡
  3. ใ—ใ‚„ใใ—ใ‚‡

Answer: 3 โ€” ใ—ใ‚„ใใ—ใ‚‡

ๅธ‚ๅฝนๆ‰€ is read ใ—ใ‚„ใใ—ใ‚‡ (city hall). ใ—ใ‚„ใใ˜ใ‚‡ wrongly voices the ใ—ใ‚‡, and ใ—ใˆใใ—ใ‚‡ uses ใˆใ, a different reading of ๅฝน that is not used in this word. The ๆ‰€ in ๅธ‚ๅฝนๆ‰€ stays ใ—ใ‚‡. Compare ๅฐๆ‰€ (ใ ใ„ใฉใ“ใ‚), where it changes - this is why it pays to learn whole words rather than single kanji.

Question 9

ใ€Œๆฎ‹ๆฅญใ€ใฏใ€ใฒใ‚‰ใŒใชใงใฉใ†ๆ›ธใใพใ™ใ‹ใ€‚

  1. ใ•ใ‚“ใŽใ‚‡ใ†
  2. ใ–ใ‚“ใŽใ‚‡ใ†
  3. ใ–ใ‚“ใ”ใ†

Answer: 2 โ€” ใ–ใ‚“ใŽใ‚‡ใ†

ๆฎ‹ๆฅญ is read ใ–ใ‚“ใŽใ‚‡ใ† (overtime work). ใ•ใ‚“ใŽใ‚‡ใ† is a different word (็”ฃๆฅญ, industry), and ใ–ใ‚“ใ”ใ† has the wrong second half - ๆฅญ is ใŽใ‚‡ใ†. ใ•ใ‚“ใŽใ‚‡ใ† is the cruellest distractor here, because it is a real word. A voiced ใ– at the start is the whole difference.

Question 10

ใใฃใทใ‚’่ฒทใ†ใŠ้‡‘ใŒ๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใฎใงใ€ATMใงใŠใ‚ใ—ใฆใใพใ™ใ€‚

  1. ๅคšใ„
  2. ๅฎ‰ใ„
  3. ่ถณใ‚Šใชใ„

Answer: 3 โ€” ่ถณใ‚Šใชใ„

่ถณใ‚Šใชใ„ (ใŸใ‚Šใชใ„, not enough) explains why you need to take money out of the ATM. If the money were ๅคšใ„ (ใŠใŠใ„, a lot) you would not need the ATM, and ๅฎ‰ใ„ (ใ‚„ใ™ใ„, cheap) describes prices, not the money you have. ใŠ้‡‘ใ‚’ใŠใ‚ใ™ means โ€œto withdraw moneyโ€. Read the second half of the sentence first - it tells you what the first half must say.

Question 11

ๆฅ้€ฑใ‹ใ‚‰ไป•ไบ‹ใฎๆ™‚้–“ใŒ๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใฎใงใ€ๆœ7ๆ™‚ใซๆฅใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ๅง‹ใพใ‚‹
  2. ๅค‰ใ‚ใ‚‹
  3. ๆญขใพใ‚‹

Answer: 2 โ€” ๅค‰ใ‚ใ‚‹

ๅค‰ใ‚ใ‚‹ (ใ‹ใ‚ใ‚‹, to change) explains why you must come at a new time from next week. ๅง‹ใพใ‚‹ (ใฏใ˜ใพใ‚‹, to start) and ๆญขใพใ‚‹ (ใจใพใ‚‹, to stop) do not explain a new arrival time - working hours do not โ€œstartโ€ or โ€œstopโ€ from next week. ๅค‰ใ‚ใ‚‹ (to change, intransitive) and ๅค‰ใˆใ‚‹ (to change something, transitive) both appear on the test. Here the hours themselves change, so it is ๆ™‚้–“ใŒๅค‰ใ‚ใ‚‹.

Question 12

ใพใฉใใกใงๅๅ‰ใ‚’๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใพใงใ€ใ„ใ™ใซๅบงใฃใฆใŠๅพ…ใกใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ๅ‘ผใฐใ‚Œใ‚‹
  2. ่žใ“ใˆใ‚‹
  3. ๆ›ธใ

Answer: 1 โ€” ๅ‘ผใฐใ‚Œใ‚‹

ๅ‘ผใฐใ‚Œใ‚‹ (ใ‚ˆใฐใ‚Œใ‚‹, to be called) is the passive form: you wait until your name is called. ่žใ“ใˆใ‚‹ (ใใ“ใˆใ‚‹, can be heard) cannot take ๅๅ‰ใ‚’, and ๆ›ธใ (ใ‹ใ, to write) makes no sense - you would not sit and wait until you write your name. ใŠๅๅ‰ใ‚’ใŠๅ‘ผใณใ™ใ‚‹ใพใง (until we call your name) is what the counter staff will say. The passive ๅ‘ผใฐใ‚Œใ‚‹ is the same idea from your side.

Answer: 2 โ€” ๆฅใชใใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™

B starts with ใ„ใ„ใˆ, so the answer is โ€œyou do not have to comeโ€: ๆฅใชใใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™. ๆฅใชใ‘ใ‚Œใฐใชใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“ (you must come) contradicts ใ„ใ„ใˆ, and ๆฅใฆใฏใ„ใ‘ใพใ›ใ‚“ (you must not come) is too strong - a doctor would not forbid a patient to come. Pair the forms: ใชใ‘ใ‚Œใฐใชใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“ (must) is answered โ€œnoโ€ with ใชใใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ (need not). That pair turns up again and again on the test.

Answer: 1 โ€” ็€ใฆใฟใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ใ‹

็€ใฆใฟใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ใ‹ (may I try it on?) is answered by the assistant pointing to the fitting room. ็€ใŸใ“ใจใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™ใ‹ (have you ever worn it?) and ็€ใชใใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ใ‹ (may I not wear it?) do not lead to โ€œthis way to the roomโ€. ใ€œใฆใฟใ‚‹ means โ€œtry doingโ€, and ใ€œใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ใ‹ asks permission. Together they make the polite fitting-room request you will use in every clothes shop.

Answer: 3 โ€” ใŠใใ‚Œใ‚„ใ™ใ„ใงใ™

ใŠใใ‚Œใ‚„ใ™ใ„ (tends to be late) describes what buses do on rainy days, which is why they should wait. ใŠใใ‚Œใชใ„ใใ†ใงใ™ (I hear it wonโ€™t be late) does not explain waiting longer, and ใ€œใŸใŒใ‚Šใพใ™ (wants to) is used for people, not buses. ใ€œใ‚„ใ™ใ„ after the verb stem means โ€œeasy toโ€ or โ€œtends toโ€: ใŠใใ‚Œใ‚„ใ™ใ„, ใ‚ใ‹ใ‚Šใ‚„ใ™ใ„, ใ“ใ‚ใ‚Œใ‚„ใ™ใ„. ้›จใฎๆ—ฅใฏ sets up a general habit, which is exactly what ใ€œใ‚„ใ™ใ„ expresses.

Answer: 3 โ€” ็ต‚ใ‚ใฃใฆใ‹ใ‚‰

B works until 2, so A should come after work finishes: ็ต‚ใ‚ใฃใฆใ‹ใ‚‰. ็ต‚ใ‚ใ‚‹ๅ‰ใซ (before it finishes) contradicts B being at work, and ็ต‚ใ‚ใ‚ŠใชใŒใ‚‰ (while finishing) is not a time to visit. ใ€œใฆใ‹ใ‚‰ puts two actions in order: first the one before ใฆใ‹ใ‚‰, then the next.

Answer: 1 โ€” ใตใ‚‹ใใ†ใงใ™

ๅคฉๆฐ—ใ‚ˆใปใ†ใซใ‚ˆใ‚‹ใจ (according to the weather forecast) is reported information, so it needs hearsay ใใ†ใงใ™ after the plain form: ใตใ‚‹ใใ†ใงใ™. ใตใ‚Šใใ†ใงใ™ (looks like it will rain) is a guess from what you can see, which does not fit ใซใ‚ˆใ‚‹ใจ, and ใตใฃใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ (it may rain - permission) makes no sense. This is the hardest grammar item in the set. ใ€œใใ†ใงใ™ after a plain verb = โ€œI hear thatโ€; ใ€œใใ†ใงใ™ after the stem = โ€œit looks likeโ€. ใซใ‚ˆใ‚‹ใจ always goes with the first.

Answer: 2 โ€” ใใฎใพใพใซใ—ใฆใŠใ„ใฆใใ ใ•ใ„

ใใฎใพใพใซใ—ใฆใŠใ„ใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ (please leave it as it is) fits โ€œwe are still using itโ€. ใ—ใพใฃใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ (please put it away) and ใ™ใฆใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ (please throw it away) both contradict ใพใ ไฝฟใ„ใพใ™. ใใฎใพใพ means โ€œas it isโ€. ใ€œใฆใŠใ here means leaving something in a state on purpose - a very common instruction at work.

After not seeing someone for a long time you say ใŠใฒใ•ใ—ใถใ‚Šใงใ™. ใŠใ‹ใ’ใ•ใพใง answers a question about how you are, and ใŠใพใŸใ›ใ—ใพใ—ใŸ apologises for keeping someone waiting. ใŠใฒใ•ใ—ใถใ‚Šใงใ™ is usually followed by ใŠๅ…ƒๆฐ—ใงใ—ใŸใ‹ (have you been well?), as it is here.

Answer: 3 โ€” ใ‚Šใ‚‡ใ†ใ—ใ‚…ใ†ใ—ใ‚‡ใ‚’ใŠใญใŒใ„ใ—ใพใ™

ใ‚Šใ‚‡ใ†ใ—ใ‚…ใ†ใ—ใ‚‡ใ‚’ใŠใญใŒใ„ใ—ใพใ™ (a receipt, please) is how a customer asks for a receipt. ใ‚Šใ‚‡ใ†ใ—ใ‚…ใ†ใ—ใ‚‡ใฏใ‘ใฃใ“ใ†ใงใ™ means โ€œI donโ€™t need a receiptโ€, the opposite of what you want, and ใ•ใ—ใ‚ใ’ใพใ™ (I will give you) is what staff would say, not the customer. ใ‘ใฃใ“ใ†ใงใ™ is a classic trap: it means โ€œno thank youโ€ when you are offered something. Use ใŠใญใŒใ„ใ—ใพใ™ when you want it.

Answer: 2 โ€” ใŠ้›ป่ฉฑใŒๅฐ‘ใ—้ ใ„ใ‚ˆใ†ใชใ‚“ใงใ™ใŒ

ใŠ้›ป่ฉฑใŒ้ ใ„ใ‚ˆใ†ใชใ‚“ใงใ™ใŒ (the line seems faint) is the set phrase for โ€œI canโ€™t hear you wellโ€, which leads into asking for a louder voice. ใŠๅ…ˆใซใ—ใคใ‚Œใ„ใ—ใพใ™ is said when leaving work before others, and ใพใŸไปŠๅบฆใŠใญใŒใ„ใ—ใพใ™ (another time, please) ends a conversation instead of continuing it. ใŠ้›ป่ฉฑใŒ้ ใ„ literally means โ€œyour phone is far awayโ€.

When you leave after a long time, you thank people with ใŠใ›ใ‚ใซใชใ‚Šใพใ—ใŸ. ใฉใ†ใžใ‚ˆใ‚ใ—ใใŠใญใŒใ„ใ—ใพใ™ is for when you first arrive, and ใŠใ˜ใ‚ƒใพใ—ใพใ—ใŸ is said leaving someoneโ€™s home after a visit.

ๆ•™ใˆใฆใ„ใŸใ ใ‘ใพใ›ใ‚“ใ‹ (could you please show me) asks for help, and B answers by asking which part is unclear. ใ‚‚ใ‚‰ใฃใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ใ‹ (may I take this?) and ๆ›ธใ‹ใชใใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ใ‹ (may I not fill this in?) do not lead to โ€œwhich part donโ€™t you understand?โ€. ใ€œใฆใ„ใŸใ ใ‘ใพใ›ใ‚“ใ‹ is the most polite request form you need for the test.

ใ”ใ‚ใ‚“ใ€่กŒใใŸใ„ใ‚“ใ ใ‘ใฉ (sorry, Iโ€™d like to, butโ€ฆ) is a soft refusal that leads into ไปŠๆ—ฅใฏใกใ‚‡ใฃใจโ€ฆ. ใ†ใ‚“ใ€่กŒใ“ใ† (yes, letโ€™s go) and ใ„ใ„ใญใ€ไฝ•ๆ™‚ใซ๏ผŸ (great, what time?) both accept the invitation, which contradicts ใกใ‚‡ใฃใจโ€ฆ. ใกใ‚‡ใฃใจโ€ฆ trailing off is how Japanese people say no without saying no.

M: Ms Hayashi, have you copied the documents for tomorrowโ€™s meeting yet? / F: No, Iโ€™m about to.

The woman first offers to copy the documents, then to book the room, but both are cancelled: the copying must wait for the managerโ€™s check, and the man has already booked the room.

He took the day off because he suddenly got toothache (ๆญฏใŒใ„ใŸใใชใฃใŸ) and went to the dentist (ใฏใ„ใ—ใ‚ƒ). ใ˜ใคใฏ (actually, to tell the truth) is one of the strongest signals in JFT listening: what follows it is usually the answer.

Saturday is out because of his part-time job (ใ‚ขใƒซใƒใ‚คใƒˆ), Sunday is out for her, and next Friday is uncertain because of possible overtime (ๆฎ‹ๆฅญ, ใ–ใ‚“ใŽใ‚‡ใ†).

The woman corrects herself: no towel this year (ไปŠๅนดใฏใ„ใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“). Lunch is in the canteen, so no packed lunch either.

The eye clinic (ใŒใ‚“ใ‹) is usually on the 4th floor, but because of construction it is on the 5th this week. The 3rd floor is the childrenโ€™s department. A number given and then corrected is a favourite trap. Wait for the end of the speakerโ€™s turn before you choose.

M: How much are these shoes? / F: 4,800 yen. But thereโ€™s a sale today, so theyโ€™re 500 yen cheaper. / M: Then Iโ€™ll take them. And two pairs of these socks. / F: The socks are 300 yen a pair. / M: Hmm, actually, just one pair of socks is fine. / F: Certainly.

The shoes are 4,800 yen minus 500 yen, so 4,300 yen. He changes his mind (ใ‚„ใฃใฑใ‚Š) 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.

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 (ๅˆๅ‰), the only time the clinic is open on Saturdays. ๅˆๅ‰ไธญ (ใ”ใœใ‚“ใกใ‚…ใ†) means โ€œduring the morningโ€.

The black chair is too expensive, and the white one looks as if it would get dirty quickly (ใ‚ˆใ”ใ‚Œใใ†).

This is an announcement from city hall. The Friday advice desk for foreign residents is usually at window 5 on the second floor, but today the second floor is crowded, so it will be held in the meeting room on the third floor. Please take a number ticket at reception on the first floor, then go to the third floor.

Window 5 on the second floor is where the desk usually is (ใ„ใคใ‚‚ใฏ), but today it is in the third-floor meeting room (3้šŽใฎไผš่ญฐๅฎค). Reception on the first floor is only where you take a number ticket first. ใ„ใคใ‚‚ใฏโ€ฆใงใ™ใŒใ€ใใ‚‡ใ†ใฏโ€ฆ is the โ€œusually X, but today Yโ€ pattern. The answer is always on the ใใ‚‡ใ†ใฏ side.

The memo says that when the parcels arrive, Nguyen should count them and write the number on this sheet (ๆ•ฐใ‚’ใ‹ใžใˆใฆใ€ใ“ใฎ็ด™ใซๆ›ธใ„ใฆ). No phone call or carrying to the office is asked for. ใ€œใŸใ‚‰, ใ€œใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ gives an instruction for a moment: when X happens, do Y.

The key is in the office cupboard (ใ˜ใ‚€ใ—ใ‚‡ใฎใŸใชใฎไธญ), not on Kimuraโ€™s desk - ๆœบใฎไธŠใงใฏใชใ means โ€œnot on the deskโ€. Nguyenโ€™s locker is never mentioned. AใงใฏใชใB (not A but B) puts a wrong answer in front of you on purpose. Read to the end of the sentence before choosing.

Rin writes that the room at the community centre could not be booked (ๅ…ฌๆฐ‘้คจใฎใธใ‚„ใŒใ‚ˆใ‚„ใใงใใชใ‹ใฃใŸใ‹ใ‚‰ใงใ™), so the party moved to Mariaโ€™s flat. Rain is never mentioned in the email, and nothing is said about the station or how near the flat is. ใ€œใ‹ใ‚‰ใงใ™ at the end of a sentence gives the reason for what was said just before it.

Answer: 3 โ€” ่‡ชๅˆ†ใฎใŠใฏใ—ใจ1,000ๅ††

Each guest brings their own chopsticks (ใŠใฏใ—ใฏใ€่‡ชๅˆ†ใฎใ‚‚ใฎใ‚’) and 1,000 yen. Rin is buying the takoyaki ingredients (ใ–ใ„ใ‚Šใ‚‡ใ†) herself (็งใŒ่ฒทใฃใฆใŠใใพใ™), so both options with the ingredients are wrong. Read who does what: ็งใŒ (Rin) buys the ingredients, and ่‡ชๅˆ†ใฎ (each guest) brings their own chopsticks.

  1. 7:40
  2. 8:20
  3. 9:10

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. ้–“ใซๅˆใ† (ใพใซใ‚ใ†) 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. ๅนณๆ—ฅ (ใธใ„ใ˜ใค) means weekdays.

Question 42

The same text as question 41.

  1. 8:20
  2. 9:10
  3. 10:30

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 โ€ป changes the whole table - always read the notes under a timetable.

From April, burnable rubbish (ใ‚‚ใˆใ‚‹ใ”ใฟ) goes out on Mondays and Thursdays. Tuesday and Friday are the old days, in brackets (3ๆœˆใพใงใฏ, until March), and Saturday is for plastic bottles (ใƒšใƒƒใƒˆใƒœใƒˆใƒซ). Brackets in a notice usually hold the old information. ็ฌฌ1ใƒป็ฌฌ3 (ใ ใ„ใ„ใกใƒปใ ใ„ใ•ใ‚“) means โ€œthe 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 (ๅ‡บใ—ใฆใฏใ„ใ‘ใพใ›ใ‚“), and bottles and cans go out only on the first and third Wednesdays, not every week. In a โ€œwhich is correctโ€ question, check every option against the text. ๆฏŽ้€ฑ (every week) against ็ฌฌ1ใƒป็ฌฌ3 is the kind of small word that decides it.

  1. ๅˆๅพŒ1ๆ™‚
  2. ๅˆๅพŒ2ๆ™‚
  3. ๅˆๅพŒ4ๆ™‚

Answer: 3 โ€” ๅˆๅพŒ4ๆ™‚

The white medicine needs a gap of at least six hours (6ๆ™‚้–“ไปฅไธŠใ‚ใ‘ใฆ). Six hours after 10 a.m. is 4 p.m. (ๅˆๅพŒ4ๆ™‚). 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. are only three and four hours later. ไปฅไธŠ (ใ„ใ˜ใ‚‡ใ†) means โ€œor moreโ€, and ใ‚ใ‘ใ‚‹ here means โ€œleave a gapโ€. This is the one item in the set that needs arithmetic.

Answer: 2 โ€” ใ‚‚ใ†ไธ€ๅบฆใณใ‚‡ใ†ใ„ใ‚“ใธ่กŒใ

Point โ‘ข says that if you are not better after three days, come to the clinic again (ใ‚‚ใ†ไธ€ๅบฆๆฅใฆใใ ใ•ใ„). 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.

  2. Bใ‚ณใƒผใ‚น
  3. Cใ‚ณใƒผใ‚น

Answer: 1 โ€” Aใ‚ณใƒผใ‚น

Someone who works late on weekdays needs a weekend class, and only Course A meets on Saturday (ๅœŸๆ›œๆ—ฅ 10:00ใ€œ12:00). Courses B and C both meet on weekday evenings from 7 to 9, which clash with late work. ไผ‘ใฟใฎๆ—ฅ means a day off. Turn the question into a condition first - here, โ€œnot on a weekday eveningโ€ - and then check each row against it.

Question 48

The same text as question 47.

ใฏใ˜ใ‚ใฆใ€Bใ‚ณใƒผใ‚นใซใ‚‚ใ†ใ—ใ“ใฟใพใ—ใŸใ€‚1ใ‹ๆœˆ็›ฎใฏใ„ใใ‚‰ใฏใ‚‰ใ„ใพใ™ใ‹ใ€‚

  1. 3,500ๅ††
  2. 2,500ๅ††
  3. 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. 1ใ‹ๆœˆ็›ฎ means the first month. Footnotes marked โ€ป often hold a discount. Apply it only where it says: ใฏใ˜ใ‚ใฆใฎไบบ, 1ใ‹ๆœˆ็›ฎ.

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 ใใ†ใงใ™ 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.

What to do with your mistakes

  1. Note which section cost you the most points โ€” the accuracy calculator shows it at a glance โ€” then read the guide for it: Script and Vocabulary, Conversation and Expression, Listening, Reading.
  2. Drill it with the free 24-question practice test, which explains every answer as you go.
  3. Only then sit the next full set โ€” a few days later, under real conditions. How to review a mock test goes into more detail.
