Sit Mock Exam 6 first, under real conditions: one sitting, 60 minutes, headphones on, nothing else open. Everything below spoils it, and a mock you have already seen the answers to cannot tell you anything about your level.
This set leans on agriculture and fishery - greenhouses, the harvest, packing vegetables, looking after animals, early starts, the weather, the boat and the port - with the rest drawn from ordinary daily life and work. If you are heading for the agriculture or fishery route, the vocabulary here is the vocabulary of your first month. You can find all ten mock exams on one page.

- ็ฐใใผ
- ใใใผใซใใฆใน
- ใฏใใ
Answer: 2 โ ใใใผใซใใฆใน
The description says the place is made of vinyl (ใใใผใซ) and is warmer inside than outside, so vegetables grow even in winter: that is a ใใใผใซใใฆใน, a plastic greenhouse. ็ฐใใผ (ใใใผ) is a rice paddy and ใฏใใ is an open field; vegetables grow in a ใฏใใ too, but it is not made of vinyl and is not warm in winter. Farm words come up often in this set. Keep ใฏใใ (field), ็ฐใใผ (rice paddy) and ใใฆใน (greenhouse) apart - the exam likes to put all three side by side.
Question 2

- ใใฟ
- ใฟใชใจ
- ใตใญ
Answer: 3 โ ใตใญ
You ride (ไนใใพใ, ใฎใใพใ) it to go out to sea and catch fish, so the word is ใตใญ (boat). ใใฟ (net) is used to catch fish but you do not ride it, and ใฟใชใจ (port) is the place the boat leaves from - the description even uses the word. On SV1 items, the verb in the description usually decides it. Here ไนใใพใ rules out everything you cannot ride.
Question 3

- ใตใใ
Answer: 1 โ ใใ
Something animals such as cows (็, ใใ) and chickens (ใซใใจใ) eat every day is ใใ, animal feed. ใใใ (medicine) is given to animals when they are ill, not eaten every day as food, and ใตใใ (bag) is what feed often comes in, not the food itself. ใใ is everyday vocabulary on livestock farms and in fish farming; ใใใใใใ means to feed (animals).
Question 4
ใใใใ่ตคใใชใฃใใฎใงใๆฅ้ฑใใ๏ผใ๏ผใๅงใใพใใ
- ใใ ใฃใฑใค
- ใใใ
- ใใ ใใใ
Answer: 3 โ ใใ ใใใ
Tomatoes turning red means they are ready to pick, so the work that starts is ใใ ใใใ (harvest). ใใ ใฃใฑใค (departure) does not fit with tomatoes, and ใใใ (cleaning) has nothing to do with the tomatoes ripening. The cause is in the first half of the sentence (ใใฎใง). Read it, then ask which noun is the natural result.
Question 5
ใใใตใใๆฅใใฎใงใใใฆในใฎใพใฉใใใฃใใ๏ผใ๏ผใใ ใใใ
- ใใใฆ
- ใใใฆ
- ใตใใฆ
Answer: 1 โ ใใใฆ
A typhoon (ใใใตใ) is coming, so you must close the greenhouse windows firmly: ใใใฆ, from ใใใ (to shut). ใใใฆ (open) is the opposite of what you would do in a storm, and ใตใใฆ (wipe) is grammatical but has no connection to the typhoon. ใใฃใใ means firmly or properly. ใใใ (to close something) and ใใพใ (to be closed) are a transitive/intransitive pair; with ใ you need ใใใ.
Question 6
้จใใใใ ใใ๏ผใ๏ผใฏใใใซๅบใฆไฝๆฅญใๅงใใพใใ
- ใพใ
- ใใ
- ใชใใชใ
Answer: 2 โ ใใ
ใใ (straight away) fits: once the rain stops (ใใใ ใ), we go out to the field at once. ใพใ (still, not yet) does not work with a future action like ๅงใใพใ, and ใชใใชใ needs a negative verb after it, as in ใชใใชใๅงใพใใพใใ. Adverbs like ใชใใชใ and ใใใใ need a negative ending, so they are easy to eliminate when the verb is positive.
Question 7
ใ้่ใใฏใใฒใใใชใงใฉใๆธใใพใใใ
- ใฎใใ
- ใใใ
- ใใใ
Answer: 3 โ ใใใ
้่ (vegetables) is read ใใใ. ใฎใใ takes the other reading of ้ (ใฎ, as in ้ๅ) by mistake, and ใใใ wrongly voices ใ to ใ. ้ alone is ใฎ (้ๅ, ใฎใฏใ), but in ้่ it takes its other reading, ใ.
Question 8
ใๅคฉๆฐใใฏใใฒใใใชใงใฉใๆธใใพใใใ
- ใงใใ
- ใฆใใ
- ใฆใใ
Answer: 2 โ ใฆใใ
ๅคฉๆฐ (weather) is read ใฆใใ. ใงใใ is ้ปๆฐ (electricity) - a very common mix-up, so listen for the voiced ใง - and ใฆใใ wrongly voices ใ to ใ. Say both words aloud: ใฆใใ and ใงใใ differ only in the first sound. Weather comes up constantly in agriculture and fishery work.
Question 9
ใ้ญใใฏใใฒใใใชใงใฉใๆธใใพใใใ
- ใใใช
- ใใใช
- ใใใช
Answer: 1 โ ใใใช
้ญ on its own is read ใใใช (fish). ใใใช only appears inside compounds such as ็ผใ้ญ (ใใใใใช), and ใใใช is not a word. Words that change ใ to ใ in compounds (rendaku) are common, but the stand-alone word keeps ใ.
Question 10
ๆฏๆไบๆใซ๏ผใ๏ผใใซใใจใใซใใใใใใพใใ
- ๅฏใฆ
- ไผใใง
- ่ตทใใฆ
Answer: 3 โ ่ตทใใฆ
You get up (่ตทใใฆ, ใใใฆ) at five every morning and feed the chickens. ๅฏใฆ (ใญใฆ, go to bed) and ไผใใง (ใใใใง, rest) do not lead naturally to feeding the chickens at five in the morning. All three are N4 verbs written in kanji. The time (ไบๆ) and the morning chore after it point to getting up.
Question 11
ใจใฃใใใใใใๅคงใใใใจใซใฏใใซ๏ผใ๏ผใใ ใใใ
- ๅ ฅใใฆ
- ๅบใใฆ
- ้ใใฆ
Answer: 1 โ ๅ ฅใใฆ
The picked vegetables go into (ใซ) the boxes, sorted by size, so the verb is ๅ ฅใใฆ (ใใใฆ, put in). ๅบใใฆ (ใ ใใฆ, take out) needs ใใ, not ใซ, and ้ใใฆ (ใใใฆ, open) is something you do to a box, not to vegetables. ๅคงใใใใจใซ means size by size. Watch the particle in front of the gap: ใซ (into) suits ๅ ฅใใ, ใใ (out of) would suit ๅบใ.
Question 12
้จใฎๆฅใฏใใฌใคใณใณใผใใ๏ผใ๏ผไฝๆฅญใใใพใใ
- ๅใฃใฆ
- ็ใฆ
- ็ฅใฃใฆ
Answer: 2 โ ็ใฆ
On rainy days you work wearing a raincoat: ็ใฆ (ใใฆ), from ็ใ (to put on clothes). ๅใฃใฆ (ใใฃใฆ, cut) sounds almost the same but makes no sense here, and ็ฅใฃใฆ (ใใฃใฆ, know) cannot take a raincoat as its object. ็ใ is for clothes on the upper body or the whole body; for shoes and boots Japanese uses ใฏใ instead.

- ใชใใชใใ
- ใชใฃใฆใใ
Answer: 3 โ ใชใฃใฆใใ
B says it is not time yet (ใพใ ใงใ), so the tomatoes should be picked after they get redder: ใชใฃใฆใใ (after becoming). ใชใๅใซ (before becoming) contradicts ใพใ ใงใ, and ใชใใชใใ (while becoming) does not make sense for picking fruit. ใใฆใใ means โafter doingโ. Look for words like ใพใ that tell you something has not happened yet.

- ใตใฃใใ
- ใตใฃใฆใ
- ใตใใชใใง
Answer: 1 โ ใตใฃใใ
The plan changes because of the rain, so the conditional ใตใฃใใ (if it rains) fits. ใตใฃใฆใ (even if it rains) would mean the rain changes nothing, which contradicts moving inside, and ใตใใชใใง (without raining) is not a condition. ใใใ is the everyday โif/whenโ. ใใฆใ means โeven ifโ and is used when the result stays the same.
Question 15

- ็ใชใใฆใใใใงใ
Answer: 2 โ ็ใชใใใฐใชใใพใใ
ใใชใใ (always, without fail) goes with an obligation, so ็ใชใใใฐใชใใพใใ (you must wear) is right. ็ใฆใฏใใใพใใ (you must not wear) and ็ใชใใฆใใใใงใ (you do not have to wear) both clash with ใใชใใ and with safety on a boat. ใใชใใใฐใชใใพใใ (must) and ใใชใใฆใใใใงใ (need not) are opposites; ใใชใใ signals the first.

Answer: 3 โ ใใ
Asking about experience uses the ta-form plus ใใจใใใใพใ: ใใใใจใใใใพใใ (have you ever looked after cows?). Bโs answer ใฏใใใฆใงใ (itโs my first time) confirms it. ใใใใจใใใใพใ means โsometimes doโ, which Bโs answer does not fit, and ใใฆ cannot come before ใใจ. ใใใใจใใใใพใ talks about experience. It is one of the most tested forms in this section.

Answer: 1 โ ใคใใฆใใใพใใ
B says ใฏใ and that only loading the truck is left, so the packing (ใคใใ, to pack) is done: ใคใใฆใใใพใใ, done in advance. ใคใใฆใใพใใ (havenโt packed) contradicts ใฏใ, and ใคใใใจใใใงใ (about to pack) contradicts ใใใถ and ใใจใฏโฆใ ใ. ใใฆใใใพใ means doing something ahead of time so it is ready - very common in work instructions.

- ใใจใซใใพใ
Answer: 2 โ ใใใงใ
B heard it on the radio, so this is reported information: plain form + ใใใงใ (I hear thatโฆ). ใคใใใงใ (intend to) and ใใจใซใใพใ (decide to) are about a personโs plans, and the wind cannot intend or decide anything. Hearsay ใใใงใ follows the plain form (ๅผทใใชใใใใงใ). The appearance ใใใงใ follows the stem (ๅผทใใใงใ), so check the form before the gap.

Answer: 3 โ ใใฟใพใใ
ใใฟใพใใ is the standard way to get someoneโs attention before asking a question. ๅคฑ็คผใใพใใ (ใใคใใใใพใใ) apologises for something you have already done, and ใใใใชใใ is a personal apology to friends or family, not a way to start a question to a senior. ใชใ means seedlings and ใใใ means to plant. At work, ใใฟใพใใ is both โexcuse meโ and โsorryโ. Use it to start any question to a colleague.

Answer: 1 โ ใใใใจใใใใใพใ
Someone gives you cucumbers from their field, so you thank them: ใใใใจใใใใใพใ. ใใใใใพใง (thanks to you) answers a question about how you are or how something went, and ใใพใกใฉใใใพ (sorry to keep you waiting) is said by the person who made someone wait. In rural Japan neighbours often share vegetables, so this exchange is genuinely useful.

When you enter someone elseโs home you say ใใใใพใใพใ (literally โI will disturb youโ). ใใฃใฆใใพใ is said when leaving your own home, and ใใ ใใพ when coming back to it. Learn the home set: ใใฃใฆใใพใ / ใใฃใฆใใฃใใใ, ใใ ใใพ / ใใใใใชใใ, and ใใใใพใใพใ for someone elseโs home.

Answer: 3 โ ใใใใใใใใพใใ
You broke a work tool, so you apologise politely: ใใใใใใใใพใใ (I am very sorry). ใใใใใพใง (thanks to you) is a thank-you, and ใใใใใใญใใใใพใ is a request or greeting, not an apology. ใใใ means to break. ใใใใใใใใพใใ is stronger and more polite than ใใฟใพใใ. Use it to a superior when something is your fault.

Answer: 1 โ ไผใพใใฆใใใ ใใพใใใ
ไผใพใใฆใใใ ใใพใใใ is a polite request to be allowed to take the day off, which is what you need. ไผใใงใใ ใใใพใใใ asks the other person to rest, and ไผใใงใใใพใใพใใใ is what the boss would say when giving permission, not what you say. ใใใใฆใใใ ใใพใใใ (could you let meโฆ) is the polite way to ask permission at work.

Answer: 2 โ ใใใใใพใง
When someone asks whether you were all right and you were, you answer ใใใใใใใใพใง (yes, thank you for asking). ใใ ใใใซ (take care) is said to someone who is ill, and ใใพใใใใพใใ (sorry to keep you waiting) does not fit at all. ใใใใใพใง is used even when the other person did nothing in particular. It is a polite set phrase.

Man: Kim, when youโve finished picking the cucumbers, could you close the greenhouse windows?
Woman: Yes. Um, Iโve already picked all the cucumbers.
Man: Oh, that was quick. Then Iโll close the windows, so please go and help with the tomatoes in the next greenhouse.
Woman: All right. Iโll go right away.
Answer: 3 โ ใใใใฎไฝๆฅญใๆไผใ
The man first asks her to close the windows, then changes the plan: he will close them himself (ใใใใใใใพใ) and she should help with the tomatoes. The cucumbers are already finished (ใใใใใถใจใใพใใ), and closing the windows is now his job. In L1 the first instruction is often changed. Listen for ใใใ, which usually introduces the new plan.

Woman: Raj, tomorrow we have to look after the cows, so please come earlier than usual.
Man: I usually come at seven, so about six?
Woman: Yes, at sixโฆ oh, wait a moment. Mr Tanaka is coming in the morning tomorrow too, so half past six will be fine.
Man: Understood. Half past six, then.
Answer: 1 โ ๅ ญๆๅ
Seven is his usual time (ใใคใ), and six is first agreed, but the woman corrects herself because Mr Tanaka is coming too: ๅ ญๆๅใงใ ใใใใใถใงใ. The man confirms ๅ ญๆๅใงใใญ. Corrections signalled by ใใใกใใฃใจๅพ ใฃใฆใใ ใใ are a classic listening trap. Three times are spoken here and only one is final.

Man: Isnโt the boat going out today? Even though the weatherโs so nice.
Woman: No. The weatherโs fine, but the engine isnโt working properly.
Man: I see. I thought it was because of the strong wind.
Woman: I hear the wind will get strong from tomorrow.
Answer: 1 โ ใจใณใธใณใฎใกใใใใๆชใใใ
The woman gives the reason: ใจใณใธใณใฎใกใใใใๆชใ (the engine is in poor condition). The weather is good (ใใๅคฉๆฐ), and the strong wind is the manโs wrong guess - the wind only gets strong from tomorrow (ๆๆฅใใ). ใกใใใ means condition. When the question asks ใฉใใใฆ, listen for ใใใงใ or ใใใ after the reason. The other personโs guess (ใใจๆใใพใใ) is often the trap.

Man: Excuse me, Iโd like some rubber boots for work.
Woman: We have white, black and green here. The white ones sell well to people who work in fish factories.
Man: I work on a cattle farm, so dirt would show on white. Do you have the green ones in 27 cm?
Woman: Iโm sorry, the green ones only go up to 26 cm. The black ones come in 27 cm too.
Man: Then Iโll take those.
Answer: 2 โ ้ปใ้ทใใค
White is rejected because dirt shows (ใใใใ็ฎ็ซใกใพใ), and green does not come in his size (ไบๅๅ ญใปใณใใพใง). The clerk says black is available in 27 cm, and ใใกใใใใ ใใ refers to the black boots. ้ทใใค (ใชใใใค) means rubber boots. ใใกใ refers back to the last thing mentioned - the black boots.

Woman: Are these tomatoes 100 yen each?
Man: Yes. But if you buy four, itโs 350 yen.
Woman: Then four, please. And one of these cucumbers.
Man: Right, cucumbers are 60 yen each.
Answer: 2 โ ๅ็พๅๅ
Four tomatoes cost 350 yen as a set, plus one cucumber at 60 yen, so 410 yen. 350 yen forgets the cucumber, and 460 yen counts the tomatoes at 100 yen each (400) instead of the set price. Price questions almost always include a set price or discount. Do the sum, not just the first price you hear.

The man chooses the train with no change (ไนใใใใใชใใปใ), which is the 10:20 from platform 5. The 9:50 has already left (ใใๅบใฆใใพใใพใใ), and the 10:05 is sooner but needs a change (ไนใใใ, ใฎใใใ). The first train mentioned has already gone. The man chooses on convenience, not speed.

Digging potatoes is mentioned first but happens last (ใใใใใงใ).

Small tomatoes and damaged ones (ใใใใใใใฎ) go into the basket (ใใ), not into a box. The blue boxes are for big tomatoes and the white boxes for normal-sized ones. ใฏใใซใฏๅ ฅใใชใใง (without putting them in a box) is the key phrase.

On Saturday (ๅ) the first bus is 7:40, and with the 35-minute journey it arrives at 8:15, before 8:30. The 6:10 and 9:15 buses run only Monday to Friday, and 9:15 would be too late anyway. Timetables test two things together: which line applies (weekday or weekend) and the journey time.

Two adults at 800 yen (1,600 yen) plus one primary-school child at 400 yen makes 2,000 yen. 1,600 yen forgets the child, and 1,200 yen counts one adult and one child. ๅฐๅญฆ็ (ใใใใใใใ) means primary-school pupil.

Changing into boots is step 2, so the next step is 3: stepping into the water with disinfectant (ใใใใฎๅ ฅใฃใๆฐด) in your boots. Putting on a cap is step 1, before the boots, and washing your hands is step 4, after the water. ใฏใใใใ means to change footwear. With numbered instructions, find the step named in the question and read the next one.
Question 46
Same passage as question 45.

Answer: 1 โ ็ใใณใฃใใใใใใ
The sign says ็ใใณใฃใใใใใฎใง: loud voices startle the cows. Other people working is never given as a reason, and the no-eating rule is a separate rule that has nothing to do with noise. ใณใฃใใใใ means to be startled. Reasons in notices are often given with ใใฎใง. Match the option to the sentence that holds the ใใฎใง.

The fish market (้ญใฎใใกใฐ, ใใใชใฎใใกใฐ) pays 1,200 yen an hour, the highest of the three. The mandarin orchard pays 1,050 yen and the vegetable factory 1,000 yen. Comparison questions need you to scan one column only. Find the hourly pay for each job and compare.
Question 48
Same passage as question 47.

- ใใใใฎๅทฅๅ ด
Answer: 3 โ ใใใใฎๅทฅๅ ด
Only the vegetable factory works in the afternoon (13ๆใ18ๆ). The orchard runs 7 to 12 and the fish market 4 to 8 in the morning, both of which clash with morning school. ๅๅไธญ (ใใใใกใ ใ) means during the morning. This one needs two conditions at once: afternoons and weekdays. Only one job meets both.
What to do with your score
A raw score out of 48 is a rough guide, not a result. Before you decide anything, go back through every question you got wrong and every one you guessed, and sort them by why you missed them - how to review a mock test walks through that. The real exam reports a scaled score out of 250, and the way it is calculated is explained in JFT-Basic scaled scoring.
When you have reviewed this one, give it a few days and sit Mock Exam 7 under the same conditions, then check it against the Mock Exam 7 answers.
