This is the answer guide to Mock Exam 3. If you have not sat it yet, stop here and sit it first, under real conditions: one 60-minute clock, headphones, no dictionary. The explanations below give every answer away, and a mock you have already seen the answers to measures nothing.
This set leans towards nursing care. About half the questions take place in a care home - residents, meals, baths, the duty board, shift handovers, families visiting - and several test the polite speech you are expected to use with elders. The rest is ordinary daily life and work. If you want more practice after this one, here are all ten mock exams.

- ใใใฆใ
Answer: 1 โ ใใใ
The description is a job that helps elderly or frail people (ใๅนดใใ, ใใจใใใ) with meals, baths and the toilet, which is ใใใ (ไป่ญท, nursing care). ใใใ is cleaning and ใใใฆใ is driving: both are jobs, but neither is about helping a person with daily life. Care homes and job adverts write it in kanji as ไป่ญท, and the job title is ไป่ญทๅฃซ (ใใใใ), care worker.

- ใจใใ
- ใใใใใใ
Answer: 3 โ ใใใใใใ
You use it to measure (ใฏใใใพใ) how many degrees of fever (ใญใค) you have, so it is a ใใใใใใ (ไฝๆธฉ่จ, thermometer). A ใฏใใ is a weighing scale - it also measures, but weight, not temperature. A ใจใใ is a clock or watch. Notice how much the word itself tells you: ไฝๆธฉ (ใใใใ) is body temperature and ่จ (ใใ) is a meter.

- ใคใ

- ใใใ
Answer: 2 โ ่ปใใ
The key phrase is ใใใฃใใพใพใงๅใ, โmove while staying seatedโ, which describes a ่ปใใ (ใใใพใใ, wheelchair). A ใคใ (walking stick) is also for people with weak legs, but you walk with it, you do not sit. A ใใใ is for lying down, not for moving around. In the description, ๏ฝใใพใพใง means โstaying in that stateโ, so ใใใฃใใพใพใง is โwhile still sittingโ.
Question 4
้จใง้ใใในใใใใใงใใใใ๏ผใ๏ผๆญฉใใฆใใ ใใใ
- ใใใซ
- ใใฃใใ
- ใใใใ
Answer: 2 โ ใใฃใใ
The road is slippery (ใในใใใใ) because of the rain, so the sensible advice is to walk ใใฃใใ, slowly. ใใใซ (straight away) and ใใใใ (a lot) fit the grammar but not the meaning: neither has anything to do with being careful on a slippery road. The ๏ฝใใใ ending in ใในใใใใ means โeasy to โฆโ or โlikely to โฆโ, and it is worth knowing on its own.
Question 5
ใใตใใฎใใใ๏ผใ๏ผใจใใๅนดใใใฏใใใฉใใใพใใใใๆฐใใคใใฆใใ ใใใ
- ใใคใใใ
- ใคใใใใใ
- ใใใชใใใ
Answer: 1 โ ใใคใใใ
ใใใฉ is a burn, and only water that is too hot (ใใคใใใ) burns you. ใคใใใใใ (too cold) and ใใใชใใใ (too little) are real problems with a bath, but they cannot cause a burn. Adjective stem + ใใใ means โtoo โฆโ. The ใจ in ใใคใใใใจ means โif / whenโ: when the water is too hot, a burn follows.
Question 6

- ใใใคใ
Answer: 3 โ ใใใคใ
Visitors write their name at the ใใใคใ (ๅไป, reception desk), so that is the place that fits. ใใคใฌ (toilet) and ใใใใฉใ (dining room) are places in a care home, but nobody signs in there. ๅฉ็จ่ ใใ (ใใใใใใใ) is the word care homes use for their residents. The ๏ฝใฆใใใฃใฆใใ ใใ pattern means โplease have them do itโ, here โplease ask them to write their nameโ.
Question 7
ใ้ฃไบใใฏใใฒใใใชใงใฉใๆธใใพใใใ
- ใใใใ
- ใใใใ
- ใใใใ
Answer: 3 โ ใใใใ
้ฃไบ (a meal) is read ใใใใ, with a voiced ใ. ใใใใ drops the voicing, and ใใใใ has a long ใใใ instead of the short ใใใ - both are near misses. You will see ้ฃไบ everywhere in a care home: ้ฃไบใฎๆ้, ้ฃไบใฎๆไผใ. The same ้ฃ appears in ้ฃๅ (ใใใใฉใ, dining room) and ้ฃๅจ (ใใใฃใ, dishes), both of which come up again in this set.
Question 8
ใๆฏๆใใฏใใฒใใใชใงใฉใๆธใใพใใใ
- ใพใใกใใ
- ใพใใใ
- ใพใใใ
Answer: 2 โ ใพใใใ
ๆฏๆ (every morning) is ใพใใใ: ๆฏ is ใพใ and ๆ keeps its native reading ใใ. ใพใใกใใ uses the on-reading ใกใใ, which ๆ only takes in other words such as ๆ้ฃ (ใกใใใใใ). ใพใใใ confuses ๆฏ (ใพใ) with ๅ (ใพใ). ๆฏ works the same way in ๆฏๆฅ (ใพใใซใก), ๆฏ้ฑ (ใพใใใ ใ) and ๆฏๆฉ (ใพใใฐใ).
Question 9
ใๅฎถๆใใฏใใฒใใใชใงใฉใๆธใใพใใใ
- ใใใ
- ใใใ
- ใใใ
Answer: 1 โ ใใใ
ๅฎถๆ (family) is ใใใ, with the voiced ใ in the middle and an unvoiced ใ at the start. ใใใ loses the voicing on ใ, and ใใใ adds voicing to ใ. Both are classic near-miss traps. ๆ is always ใใ, so learn ใใใ as a sound pattern rather than syllable by syllable.
Question 10
ๆจๆใใใฏ่ณใใใ๏ผใ๏ผใฎใงใๅคงใใๅฃฐใง่ฉฑใใฆใใ ใใใ
- ่ใใใชใ
- ่ฆใใชใ
- ่จใใชใ
Answer: 1 โ ่ใใใชใ
The sentence is about the ears (่ณ, ใฟใฟ) and speaking in a loud voice (ๅคงใใๅฃฐ, ใใใใใใ), so Mr Kimura cannot hear well: ่ใใใชใ (ใใใใชใ). ่ฆใใชใ (cannot see) belongs with eyes, and ่จใใชใ (cannot say) would not explain why you need to speak loudly. ่ใใใ (to be audible) is not the same as ่ใ (to listen): ่ใใใชใ is about the ears, not about paying attention.
Question 11
ๅฉ็จ่ ใใใฎๆฏๆฅใฎใใใใใฏใใใฎใใผใใซ๏ผใ๏ผใใ ใใใ
- ่ชญใใง
- ่ใใฆ
- ๆธใใฆ
Answer: 3 โ ๆธใใฆ
You write (ๆธใ, ใใ) the temperature in the notebook: ใใผใใซๆธใ. ่ชญใใง (ใใใง, read) and ่ใใฆ (ใใใฆ, listen or ask) do not take ใใผใใซ and make no sense for recording a temperature. Keeping daily records like this is part of every care-home shift, so ใใผใใซๆธใ is worth knowing as a phrase.
Question 12
ๅคใใจใชใใฎ้จๅฑใฎ้ปๆฐใ๏ผใ๏ผใใใฎใงใใใใญใฆใใใจๆใใพใใใ
- ๆถใใฆ
- ๆถใใฆ
- ้ใใฆ
Answer: 2 โ ๆถใใฆ
The particle ใ marks ้ปๆฐ as the subject, so you need the intransitive verb: ้ปๆฐใๆถใใฆใใ (ใใใฆใใ), โthe light is offโ. ๆถใใฆ (ใใใฆ) is the transitive verb and needs ใ (้ปๆฐใๆถใ). ้ใใฆ (ใใใฆ) is for doors and windows, not lights. Learn the pairs together: ๆถใ / ๆถใใ, ้ใใ / ้ใ, ใคใใ / ใคใ. The particle (ใ or ใ) tells you which one you need.

- ้ฃในใพใใ
- ้ฃในใฆใใพใ
- ้ฃในใพใใ
Answer: 2 โ ้ฃในใฆใใพใ
ใพใ + ใฆใใ means โstill doingโ: Nguyen is still eating and needs about five more minutes, so ้ฃในใฆใใพใ. ้ฃในใพใใ would mean he has finished, which contradicts ใใใ. ใพใ ้ฃในใพใใ means โI wonโt eat yetโ, which does not fit ใใจไบๅใใใใงใ. The pattern ใพใ ๏ฝใฆใใพใใ (โhavenโt โฆ yetโ) is the other half of the same idea, and it is just as common.

- ๅผทใใใใใจใใใใพใ
Answer: 2 โ ๅผทใใใชใใฆใใใใงใ
B says the temperature is just right (ใกใใใฉใใ), so there is no need to turn it up: ๏ฝใชใใฆใใใใงใ, โyou donโt have toโ. ๅผทใใใพใใใ (โletโs turn it upโ) contradicts ใใใ. ๅผทใใใใใจใใใใพใ (โI have turned it up beforeโ) is about past experience and does not answer the offer. The opposite of ๏ฝใชใใฆใใใใงใ is ๏ฝใชใใใฐใชใใพใใ, โmustโ.
Question 15

Answer: 1 โ ็ตใใฃใ
ๅพใง (ใใจใง, after) always follows the ใ-form of a verb: ้ฃไบใ็ตใใฃใๅพใง, โafter the meal has finishedโ. The dictionary form ็ตใใ goes with ๅใซ (before), not ๅพใง, and the ใฆ-form ็ตใใฃใฆ cannot connect to ๅพใง at all. Remember the pair: dictionary form + ๅใซ, ใ-form + ๅพใง.

- ไฝฟใฃใฆใฏใใใพใใ
- ไฝฟใฃใฆใฟใใคใใใงใ
Answer: 3 โ ไฝฟใฃใฆใฟใใคใใใงใ
B has not tried it yet (ใพใ ใงใ) and talks about the next day off (ไปๅบฆใฎไผใฟ), so a future plan fits: ๏ฝใคใใใงใ, โI intend toโ. ไฝฟใฃใฆใฟใพใใ is past and contradicts ใพใ . ไฝฟใฃใฆใฏใใใพใใ (โyou must not use itโ) makes no sense for your own new phone. ๏ฝใฆใฟใ means โtry doingโ, so ไฝฟใฃใฆใฟใ is โtry usingโ. It combines with ใคใใ, ใใ and ใพใใ like any verb.

- ใชใ
- ใใ
- ใใ
Answer: 1 โ ใชใ
ใชใ picks out the case where something is true: โwith a spoon, she can eatโ. ใใ (โonlyโ) must be followed by a negative verb (ในใใผใณใใไฝฟใใพใใ), but here the verb is positive ้ฃในใใใพใ. ใใ is for comparisons and needs something to compare with. At this level, ใชใ is best learned as โif it is โฆ / as for โฆโ, picking out one case from several.

Answer: 3 โ ่ตทใใใใพใ
Mrs Tanakaโs legs feel good today, so she can get up on her own: the potential form ่ตทใใใใพใ (ใใใใใพใ, โcan get upโ). ่ตทใใใพใ is the transitive โwake someone upโ, and ่ตทใใฆใใ ใใ is a request to someone else - neither fits ไธไบบใง about herself. Ichidan verbs make the potential with ๏ฝใใใ: ่ตทใใ โ ่ตทใใใใ, ้ฃในใ โ ้ฃในใใใ.

Answer: 3 โ ใใคใใใใพใ
ใใคใใใใพใ (ๅคฑ็คผใใพใ) is what you say when you knock and enter someoneโs room or office. ใใใ ใใพใ is said before eating, and ใใ ใใพ is said when you come home - neither belongs at an office door. You will also hear ใใคใใใใพใใ when you leave the room again.

Answer: 1 โ ใใใใจใใใใใพใ
A family member is giving the staff a gift, so you thank them: ใใใใจใใใใใพใ. ใใใใพใใพใ is said when entering someoneโs home. ใใกใใใใพใงใใ is said after eating, and nobody has eaten yet - B says they will eat later (ใใจใง). A careful reply would add the humble ใใใ ใใพใ, as B does in the second sentence, meaning โwe will gratefully eat itโ.

Answer: 2 โ ใใคใใใใพใงใ
Between colleagues at work, ใใคใใใใพใงใ is the standard greeting at almost any time of day, and B answers with the same phrase. ใใใใฟใชใใ is โgood nightโ before sleeping - the night worker is just starting, not going to bed. ใใฃใฆใใฃใใใ is said to someone who is leaving. In Japanese workplaces ใใคใใใใพใงใ works as hello, goodbye and thanks for your work, all in one.

Answer: 2 โ ใพใฉใ้ใใพใใใใ
B answers ใใใใใญใใใใพใ, which is the reply to an offer, so A must offer to do it: ๏ฝใพใใใใ, โshall I open the window?โ. ใพใฉใ้ใใฆใใ ใใ asks the elderly resident to do it herself, which is rude to an elder. ๏ฝใฆใใใใงใใ gives her permission, which is not what a carer offers. Offering with ๏ฝใพใใใใ, rather than telling, is the basic polite stance towards residents.

- ใใใใใใกใใใ
Answer: 3 โ ใใใใใใกใใใ
The set reply to ใใใใซใชใฃใฆใใพใ (โthank you for looking after herโ) is ใใใใใใกใใใ, โno, it is we who should thank youโ. ใฉใใใใใพใใฆ answers a direct โthank youโ and sounds off here. ใใใใใพใง is what you say about your own good health or luck, not a reply to this greeting. Families say this phrase to care staff all the time, so the reply needs to be ready without thinking.

To someone setting off home, you say ใๆฐใใคใใฆ (ใใใใคใใฆ), โtake care on your wayโ. ใใใฃใใใใพใ welcomes a customer who is arriving, and ใใใใใชใใ welcomes someone coming home - both are for arrivals, not departures. ใๆฐใใคใใฆ is a shortened ใๆฐใใคใใฆใๅธฐใใใ ใใ, and it is the right goodbye for visitors and families.

Man: Lin, could you help with the baths now?
Woman: Yes. Oh, but Mrs Tanaka in room 205 is still eating.
Man: I see. Then Iโll do the baths, and you keep an eye on Mrs Tanakaโs meal.
Woman: All right. After that, Iโll clear away the dishes.
The man first asks for help with the baths, but changes the plan: he will do the baths himself, and Lin should watch Mrs Tanakaโs meal. Clearing the dishes (้ฃๅจ, ใใใฃใ) comes after that (ใใฎใใจใง), so it is not the first thing. The first-mentioned task, the bath, is the trap. ใพใ in the question (โfirstโ) is the word that matters: two tasks belong to the woman, and only one comes first.

Woman: Yes. But heโs busy at work, so he says he canโt come at three.
Man: This evening, then?
Woman: No, he canโt come today. He says heโll come tomorrow morning.
Three oโclock was the original plan, and โthis eveningโ is only the manโs guess, which the woman rejects with ใใใ.

Man: No. Iโm moving to a new flat, so Iโm carrying my things that day.

The woman guesses the hospital, but he says ใใใ: he is moving (ใฒใฃใใ) to a new flat and carrying his things (่ท็ฉใ้ใถ) that day.

Woman: But walking takes about thirty minutes.
Man: Then how about bikes? We can borrow the dormitoryโs bikes.
Woman: Good idea. Letโs do that.
Three ways are suggested in turn: the bus (too crowded), walking (thirty minutes, too long) and finally bicycles, which the woman accepts with ใใใใพใใใ.

Woman: Then Iโll take the faster one.

Woman: Excuse me, Iโm Hana Kimuraโs family. Iโve come to see my mother.
Man: Mrs Kimura. She is usually in the second-floor dining room at this time, but today is her rehab day, so she is in the rehab room on the third floor.
Woman: Then Iโll go to the third floor.
Man: Oh, wait a moment. Rehab finishes at eleven, so itโs already over. Sheโs back in her room now.
Woman: I see. Thank you.
Two places are mentioned before the answer: the dining room is where she usually is, and the rehab room is where she was this morning. The man then remembers rehab is already over, and Mrs Kimura is back in her room (ใใธใ). Note the respectful ใใใฃใใใใพใ, which staff use for residents instead of ใใพใ. Staff talking about a resident use ใใใฃใใใ for โbeโ and โgoโ - it is the polite speech you are expected to use with elders.

Woman: Hello, Nguyen, this is Nakamura, the team leader. About tomorrowโs shift: you were down to start at nine. The thing is, the person who starts at seven is off with a cold, so Iโd like you to come in from seven. In exchange, you can go home two hours earlier than usual. If thatโs all right, please get in touch by eight oโclock today.
Nine oโclock was the original shift (ไบๅฎใงใใ), but the leader asks Nguyen to come in from seven instead because a colleague is off sick.

Answer: 1 โ ใชใณใใใจใฐใจใณใใ
The bath line reads ใใตใ๏ผ10ๆใ12ๆ๏ผ๏ผใชใณใใฐใจใณ, so Lin and Nguyen are on bath duty. Lin and Santos are on breakfast, and Nguyen and Santos are the original dinner pair. ใใใจใ (ๆ ๅฝ) means โthe person in charge ofโ a task. The time in brackets (10ๆใ12ๆ) tells you when the bath duty runs, not who does it.
Question 42

- ใฐใจใณใใใจใชใณใใ
- ใชใณใใใจใตใณใในใใ
Answer: 2 โ ใฐใจใณใใใจใชใณใใ
The table lists Nguyen and Santos for dinner, but the note underneath (โป) says Santos leaves at 4 p.m. today and Lin takes his place (ใตใณใในใใใฎใใใใซ, โinstead of Santosโ). So dinner is Nguyen and Lin. Always read the โป notes on a table - they often change the answer. Noun + ใฎใใใใซ means โinstead ofโ that person or thing, and it turns up constantly on duty boards and shift notices.

The notice says ้จใฎๆฅใฏใๅฐๅญฆๆ กใฎไฝ่ฒ้คจใงใใพใ: on a rainy day the drill moves to the school gym (ใใใใใใ). The sports ground (้ๅๅ ด, ใใใฉใใใใ) is the normal place, used only in good weather. The community hall is not mentioned. ใผใใใใใใใ is a disaster-preparedness drill. ๆฅๆ (ใซใกใ) is โdate and timeโ and ๅ ดๆ (ใฐใใ) is โplaceโ - you will see both headings on almost every notice.

ๆฐดใฏ็บใงใใใใใพใ: the town provides (ใใใใใ, ็จๆใใ) the water. The towel is something you must bring yourself (ๆใฃใฆใใฆใใ ใใ), and shoes are something you wear. Read carefully who does each action. Questions about โwhat to bringโ and โwhat is providedโ are the classic pair for this kind of notice.

Answer: 1 โ ใใฌใผใญใใใใ
Step 1 says to put the brake on (ใใฌใผใญใใใใ) before the resident sits down. Taking the brake off (ใฏใใ) is step 2, after their feet are on the footrest. Checking the tyres is step 4, after use. ใใฌใผใญใใใใ is โput the brake onโ and ใใฌใผใญใใฏใใ is โtake it offโ.

Step 3: going down a slope (ใใ), turn the wheelchair backwards (ๅพใๅใ, ใใใใใ) and go down slowly. Facing forwards and going fast is exactly what the instruction prevents, and nothing says the resident should get out and walk. ๅพใๅใ is โfacing backwardsโ; ๅๅใ is โfacing forwardsโ.

Answer: 2 โ ไปๆฅใฎๅๅพ3ๆใพใง
Meals must be booked by 3 p.m. the day before (ๅใฎๆฅใฎๅๅพ3ๆใพใง). For tomorrowโs lunch the day before is today, so the deadline is ไปๆฅใฎๅๅพ3ๆ. ใใใใฎๆ and ใใใใฎๅๅพ3ๆ are both too late. ๅใฎๆฅ (โthe day beforeโ) is counted from the day of the meal, not from today, so work out which day that is before you answer.
Question 48

Answer: 1 โ 900ๅ
Lunch is 600ๅ for an adult, and children up to primary school (ๅฐๅญฆ็ใพใง) pay half, 300ๅ. 600 + 300 = 900ๅ. 1,200ๅ forgets the child discount, and 600ๅ counts only the adult. Read every โป note under a price list: here the second one changes the childโs price.
What to do with your score
Count your correct answers in each of the four sections before you look at the total. The section that is furthest behind is where your next fortnight of study should go, and the questions you got right by guessing deserve the same attention as the ones you got wrong. How to review a mock test walks through that process step by step.
Remember that a raw count out of 48 is not the same as the official score out of 250 - see how JFT-Basic scaled scoring works. When you are ready, sit Mock Exam 4 under the same conditions, then check it against the Mock Exam 4 answer guide.
