ยท 25 min read

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.

Question 1

ใƒ“ใƒ‹ใƒผใƒซใงใงใใŸใ€ใ‚„ใ•ใ„ใ‚„่Šฑใ‚’ใใ ใฆใ‚‹ใจใ“ใ‚ใงใ™ใ€‚ไธญใฏๅค–ใ‚ˆใ‚Šใ‚ใŸใŸใ‹ใ„ใฎใงใ€ๅ†ฌใงใ‚‚ใ‚„ใ•ใ„ใŒใงใใพใ™ใ€‚

  1. ็”ฐใ‚“ใผ
  2. ใƒ“ใƒ‹ใƒผใƒซใƒใ‚ฆใ‚น
  3. ใฏใŸใ‘

Answer: 2 โ€” ใƒ“ใƒ‹ใƒผใƒซใƒใ‚ฆใ‚น

The description says the place is made of vinyl (ใƒ“ใƒ‹ใƒผใƒซ) and is warmer inside than outside, so vegetables grow even in winter: that is a ใƒ“ใƒ‹ใƒผใƒซใƒใ‚ฆใ‚น, a plastic greenhouse. ็”ฐใ‚“ใผ (ใŸใ‚“ใผ) is a rice paddy and ใฏใŸใ‘ is an open field; vegetables grow in a ใฏใŸใ‘ too, but it is not made of vinyl and is not warm in winter. Farm words come up often in this set. Keep ใฏใŸใ‘ (field), ็”ฐใ‚“ใผ (rice paddy) and ใƒใ‚ฆใ‚น (greenhouse) apart - the exam likes to put all three side by side.

Question 2

  1. ใ‚ใฟ
  2. ใฟใชใจ
  3. ใตใญ

Answer: 3 โ€” ใตใญ

You ride (ไน—ใ‚Šใพใ™, ใฎใ‚Šใพใ™) it to go out to sea and catch fish, so the word is ใตใญ (boat). ใ‚ใฟ (net) is used to catch fish but you do not ride it, and ใฟใชใจ (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 ไน—ใ‚Šใพใ™ rules out everything you cannot ride.

Question 3

็‰›ใ‚„ใซใ‚ใจใ‚Šใชใฉใฎใฉใ†ใถใคใŒใ€ๆฏŽๆ—ฅ้ฃŸในใ‚‹ใ‚‚ใฎใงใ™ใ€‚ใ“ใ‚ŒใŒใชใ„ใจใ€ใฉใ†ใถใคใฏๅ…ƒๆฐ—ใซๅคงใใใชใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“ใ€‚

  1. ใˆใ•
  2. ใใ™ใ‚Š
  3. ใตใใ‚

Answer: 1 โ€” ใˆใ•

Something animals such as cows (็‰›, ใ†ใ—) and chickens (ใซใ‚ใจใ‚Š) eat every day is ใˆใ•, animal feed. ใใ™ใ‚Š (medicine) is given to animals when they are ill, not eaten every day as food, and ใตใใ‚ (bag) is what feed often comes in, not the food itself. ใˆใ• is everyday vocabulary on livestock farms and in fish farming; ใˆใ•ใ‚’ใ‚ใ’ใ‚‹ means to feed (animals).

Question 4

ใƒˆใƒžใƒˆใŒ่ตคใใชใฃใŸใฎใงใ€ๆฅ้€ฑใ‹ใ‚‰๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใ‚’ๅง‹ใ‚ใพใ™ใ€‚

  1. ใ—ใ‚…ใฃใฑใค
  2. ใใ†ใ˜
  3. ใ—ใ‚…ใ†ใ‹ใ

Answer: 3 โ€” ใ—ใ‚…ใ†ใ‹ใ

Tomatoes turning red means they are ready to pick, so the work that starts is ใ—ใ‚…ใ†ใ‹ใ (harvest). ใ—ใ‚…ใฃใฑใค (departure) does not fit with tomatoes, and ใใ†ใ˜ (cleaning) has nothing to do with the tomatoes ripening. The cause is in the first half of the sentence (ใ€œใฎใง). Read it, then ask which noun is the natural result.

Question 5

ใŸใ„ใตใ†ใŒๆฅใ‚‹ใฎใงใ€ใƒใ‚ฆใ‚นใฎใพใฉใ‚’ใ—ใฃใ‹ใ‚Š๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ใ—ใ‚ใฆ
  2. ใ‚ใ‘ใฆ
  3. ใตใ„ใฆ

Answer: 1 โ€” ใ—ใ‚ใฆ

A typhoon (ใŸใ„ใตใ†) is coming, so you must close the greenhouse windows firmly: ใ—ใ‚ใฆ, from ใ—ใ‚ใ‚‹ (to shut). ใ‚ใ‘ใฆ (open) is the opposite of what you would do in a storm, and ใตใ„ใฆ (wipe) is grammatical but has no connection to the typhoon. ใ—ใฃใ‹ใ‚Š means firmly or properly. ใ—ใ‚ใ‚‹ (to close something) and ใ—ใพใ‚‹ (to be closed) are a transitive/intransitive pair; with ใ‚’ you need ใ—ใ‚ใ‚‹.

Question 6

้›จใŒใ‚„ใ‚“ใ ใ‚‰ใ€๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใฏใŸใ‘ใซๅ‡บใฆไฝœๆฅญใ‚’ๅง‹ใ‚ใพใ™ใ€‚

  1. ใพใ 
  2. ใ™ใ
  3. ใชใ‹ใชใ‹

Answer: 2 โ€” ใ™ใ

ใ™ใ (straight away) fits: once the rain stops (ใ‚„ใ‚“ใ ใ‚‰), we go out to the field at once. ใพใ  (still, not yet) does not work with a future action like ๅง‹ใ‚ใพใ™, and ใชใ‹ใชใ‹ needs a negative verb after it, as in ใชใ‹ใชใ‹ๅง‹ใพใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“. Adverbs like ใชใ‹ใชใ‹ and ใœใ‚“ใœใ‚“ need a negative ending, so they are easy to eliminate when the verb is positive.

Question 7

ใ€Œ้‡Ž่œใ€ใฏใ€ใฒใ‚‰ใŒใชใงใฉใ†ๆ›ธใใพใ™ใ‹ใ€‚

  1. ใฎใ•ใ„
  2. ใ‚„ใ–ใ„
  3. ใ‚„ใ•ใ„

Answer: 3 โ€” ใ‚„ใ•ใ„

้‡Ž่œ (vegetables) is read ใ‚„ใ•ใ„. ใฎใ•ใ„ takes the other reading of ้‡Ž (ใฎ, as in ้‡ŽๅŽŸ) by mistake, and ใ‚„ใ–ใ„ wrongly voices ใ• to ใ–. ้‡Ž alone is ใฎ (้‡ŽๅŽŸ, ใฎใฏใ‚‰), but in ้‡Ž่œ it takes its other reading, ใ‚„.

Question 8

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

  1. ใงใ‚“ใ
  2. ใฆใ‚“ใ
  3. ใฆใ‚“ใŽ

Answer: 2 โ€” ใฆใ‚“ใ

ๅคฉๆฐ— (weather) is read ใฆใ‚“ใ. ใงใ‚“ใ is ้›ปๆฐ— (electricity) - a very common mix-up, so listen for the voiced ใง - and ใฆใ‚“ใŽ wrongly voices ใ to ใŽ. Say both words aloud: ใฆใ‚“ใ and ใงใ‚“ใ differ only in the first sound. Weather comes up constantly in agriculture and fishery work.

Question 9

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

  1. ใ•ใ‹ใช
  2. ใ•ใŒใช
  3. ใ–ใ‹ใช

Answer: 1 โ€” ใ•ใ‹ใช

้ญš on its own is read ใ•ใ‹ใช (fish). ใ–ใ‹ใช only appears inside compounds such as ็„ผใ้ญš (ใ‚„ใใ–ใ‹ใช), and ใ•ใŒใช is not a word. Words that change ใ• to ใ– in compounds (rendaku) are common, but the stand-alone word keeps ใ•.

Question 10

ๆฏŽๆœไบ”ๆ™‚ใซ๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใ€ใซใ‚ใจใ‚Šใซใˆใ•ใ‚’ใ‚ใ’ใพใ™ใ€‚

  1. ๅฏใฆ
  2. ไผ‘ใ‚“ใง
  3. ่ตทใใฆ

Answer: 3 โ€” ่ตทใใฆ

You get up (่ตทใใฆ, ใŠใใฆ) at five every morning and feed the chickens. ๅฏใฆ (ใญใฆ, go to bed) and ไผ‘ใ‚“ใง (ใ‚„ใ™ใ‚“ใง, rest) do not lead naturally to feeding the chickens at five in the morning. All three are N4 verbs written in kanji. The time (ไบ”ๆ™‚) and the morning chore after it point to getting up.

Question 11

ใจใฃใŸใ‚„ใ•ใ„ใ‚’ใ€ๅคงใใ•ใ”ใจใซใฏใ“ใซ๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ๅ…ฅใ‚Œใฆ
  2. ๅ‡บใ—ใฆ
  3. ้–‹ใ‘ใฆ

Answer: 1 โ€” ๅ…ฅใ‚Œใฆ

The picked vegetables go into (ใซ) the boxes, sorted by size, so the verb is ๅ…ฅใ‚Œใฆ (ใ„ใ‚Œใฆ, put in). ๅ‡บใ—ใฆ (ใ ใ—ใฆ, take out) needs ใ‹ใ‚‰, not ใซ, and ้–‹ใ‘ใฆ (ใ‚ใ‘ใฆ, open) is something you do to a box, not to vegetables. ๅคงใใ•ใ”ใจใซ means size by size. Watch the particle in front of the gap: ใซ (into) suits ๅ…ฅใ‚Œใ‚‹, ใ‹ใ‚‰ (out of) would suit ๅ‡บใ™.

Question 12

้›จใฎๆ—ฅใฏใ€ใƒฌใ‚คใƒณใ‚ณใƒผใƒˆใ‚’๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ไฝœๆฅญใ‚’ใ—ใพใ™ใ€‚

  1. ๅˆ‡ใฃใฆ
  2. ็€ใฆ
  3. ็Ÿฅใฃใฆ

Answer: 2 โ€” ็€ใฆ

On rainy days you work wearing a raincoat: ็€ใฆ (ใใฆ), from ็€ใ‚‹ (to put on clothes). ๅˆ‡ใฃใฆ (ใใฃใฆ, cut) sounds almost the same but makes no sense here, and ็Ÿฅใฃใฆ (ใ—ใฃใฆ, 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 ใฏใ instead.

  1. ใชใ‚‹ๅ‰ใซ
  2. ใชใ‚ŠใชใŒใ‚‰
  3. ใชใฃใฆใ‹ใ‚‰

Answer: 3 โ€” ใชใฃใฆใ‹ใ‚‰

B says it is not time yet (ใพใ ใงใ™), so the tomatoes should be picked after they get redder: ใชใฃใฆใ‹ใ‚‰ (after becoming). ใชใ‚‹ๅ‰ใซ (before becoming) contradicts ใพใ ใงใ™, and ใชใ‚ŠใชใŒใ‚‰ (while becoming) does not make sense for picking fruit. ใ€œใฆใ‹ใ‚‰ means โ€œafter doingโ€. Look for words like ใพใ  that tell you something has not happened yet.

Question 14

  1. ใตใฃใŸใ‚‰
  2. ใตใฃใฆใ‚‚
  3. ใตใ‚‰ใชใ„ใง

Answer: 1 โ€” ใตใฃใŸใ‚‰

The plan changes because of the rain, so the conditional ใตใฃใŸใ‚‰ (if it rains) fits. ใตใฃใฆใ‚‚ (even if it rains) would mean the rain changes nothing, which contradicts moving inside, and ใตใ‚‰ใชใ„ใง (without raining) is not a condition. ใ€œใŸใ‚‰ is the everyday โ€œif/whenโ€. ใ€œใฆใ‚‚ means โ€œeven ifโ€ and is used when the result stays the same.

Question 15

  3. ็€ใชใใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™

Answer: 2 โ€” ็€ใชใ‘ใ‚Œใฐใชใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“

ใ‹ใชใ‚‰ใš (always, without fail) goes with an obligation, so ็€ใชใ‘ใ‚Œใฐใชใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“ (you must wear) is right. ็€ใฆใฏใ„ใ‘ใพใ›ใ‚“ (you must not wear) and ็€ใชใใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ (you do not have to wear) both clash with ใ‹ใชใ‚‰ใš and with safety on a boat. ใ€œใชใ‘ใ‚Œใฐใชใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“ (must) and ใ€œใชใใฆใ‚‚ใ„ใ„ใงใ™ (need not) are opposites; ใ‹ใชใ‚‰ใš signals the first.

  1. ใ™ใ‚‹
  2. ใ—ใฆ
  3. ใ—ใŸ

Answer: 3 โ€” ใ—ใŸ

Asking about experience uses the ta-form plus ใ“ใจใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™: ใ—ใŸใ“ใจใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™ใ‹ (have you ever looked after cows?). Bโ€™s answer ใฏใ˜ใ‚ใฆใงใ™ (itโ€™s my first time) confirms it. ใ™ใ‚‹ใ“ใจใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™ means โ€˜sometimes doโ€™, which Bโ€™s answer does not fit, and ใ—ใฆ cannot come before ใ“ใจ. ใ€œใŸใ“ใจใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™ talks about experience. It is one of the most tested forms in this section.

Answer: 1 โ€” ใคใ‚ใฆใŠใใพใ—ใŸ

B says ใฏใ„ and that only loading the truck is left, so the packing (ใคใ‚ใ‚‹, to pack) is done: ใคใ‚ใฆใŠใใพใ—ใŸ, done in advance. ใคใ‚ใฆใ„ใพใ›ใ‚“ (havenโ€™t packed) contradicts ใฏใ„, and ใคใ‚ใ‚‹ใจใ“ใ‚ใงใ™ (about to pack) contradicts ใœใ‚“ใถ and ใ‚ใจใฏโ€ฆใ ใ‘. ใ€œใฆใŠใใพใ™ means doing something ahead of time so it is ready - very common in work instructions.

Answer: 2 โ€” ใใ†ใงใ™

B heard it on the radio, so this is reported information: plain form + ใใ†ใงใ™ (I hear thatโ€ฆ). ใคใ‚‚ใ‚Šใงใ™ (intend to) and ใ“ใจใซใ—ใพใ™ (decide to) are about a personโ€™s plans, and the wind cannot intend or decide anything. Hearsay ใใ†ใงใ™ follows the plain form (ๅผทใใชใ‚‹ใใ†ใงใ™). The appearance ใใ†ใงใ™ follows the stem (ๅผทใใ†ใงใ™), so check the form before the gap.

Answer: 3 โ€” ใ™ใฟใพใ›ใ‚“

ใ™ใฟใพใ›ใ‚“ is the standard way to get someoneโ€™s attention before asking a question. ๅคฑ็คผใ—ใพใ—ใŸ (ใ—ใคใ‚Œใ„ใ—ใพใ—ใŸ) apologises for something you have already done, and ใ”ใ‚ใ‚“ใชใ•ใ„ is a personal apology to friends or family, not a way to start a question to a senior. ใชใˆ means seedlings and ใ†ใˆใ‚‹ means to plant. At work, ใ™ใฟใพใ›ใ‚“ is both โ€œexcuse meโ€ and โ€œsorryโ€. Use it to start any question to a colleague.

Someone gives you cucumbers from their field, so you thank them: ใ‚ใ‚ŠใŒใจใ†ใ”ใ–ใ„ใพใ™. ใŠใ‹ใ’ใ•ใพใง (thanks to you) answers a question about how you are or how something went, and ใŠใพใกใฉใŠใ•ใพ (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.

Answer: 3 โ€” ใ‚‚ใ†ใ—ใ‚ใ‘ใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“

You broke a work tool, so you apologise politely: ใ‚‚ใ†ใ—ใ‚ใ‘ใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“ (I am very sorry). ใŠใ‹ใ’ใ•ใพใง (thanks to you) is a thank-you, and ใ‚ˆใ‚ใ—ใใŠใญใŒใ„ใ—ใพใ™ is a request or greeting, not an apology. ใ“ใ‚ใ™ means to break. ใ‚‚ใ†ใ—ใ‚ใ‘ใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“ is stronger and more polite than ใ™ใฟใพใ›ใ‚“.

Answer: 1 โ€” ไผ‘ใพใ›ใฆใ„ใŸใ ใ‘ใพใ›ใ‚“ใ‹

ไผ‘ใพใ›ใฆใ„ใŸใ ใ‘ใพใ›ใ‚“ใ‹ is a polite request to be allowed to take the day off, which is what you need. ไผ‘ใ‚“ใงใใ ใ•ใ„ใพใ›ใ‚“ใ‹ asks the other person to rest, and ไผ‘ใ‚“ใงใ‚‚ใ‹ใพใ„ใพใ›ใ‚“ใ‚ˆ is what the boss would say when giving permission, not what you say. ใ€œใ•ใ›ใฆใ„ใŸใ ใ‘ใพใ›ใ‚“ใ‹ (could you let meโ€ฆ) is the polite way to ask permission at work.

When someone asks whether you were all right and you were, you answer ใˆใˆใ€ใŠใ‹ใ’ใ•ใพใง (yes, thank you for asking). ใŠใ ใ„ใ˜ใซ (take care) is said to someone who is ill, and ใŠใพใŸใ›ใ—ใพใ—ใŸ (sorry to keep you waiting) does not fit at all. ใŠใ‹ใ’ใ•ใพใง is used even when the other person did nothing in particular. It is a polite set phrase.

Man: Kim, when youโ€™ve finished picking the cucumbers, could you close the greenhouse windows?

Woman: Yes. Um, Iโ€™ve already picked all the cucumbers.

Man: Oh, that was quick. Then Iโ€™ll close the windows, so please go and help with the tomatoes in the next greenhouse.

Answer: 3 โ€” ใƒˆใƒžใƒˆใฎไฝœๆฅญใ‚’ๆ‰‹ไผใ†

The man first asks her to close the windows, then changes the plan: he will close them himself (ใ‚ใŸใ—ใŒใ—ใ‚ใพใ™) and she should help with the tomatoes. The cucumbers are already finished (ใ‚‚ใ†ใœใ‚“ใถใจใ‚Šใพใ—ใŸ), and closing the windows is now his job. In L1 the first instruction is often changed.

Saturday is out because the man is working, and Sunday morning is out because the woman has an errand (็”จไบ‹, ใ‚ˆใ†ใ˜).

Man: Excuse me, Iโ€™d 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: Iโ€™m sorry, the green ones only go up to 26 cm. The black ones come in 27 cm too.

Man: Then Iโ€™ll take those.

Answer: 2 โ€” ้ป’ใ„้•ทใใค

White is rejected because dirt shows (ใ‚ˆใ”ใ‚ŒใŒ็›ฎ็ซ‹ใกใพใ™), and green does not come in his size (ไบŒๅๅ…ญใ‚ปใƒณใƒใพใง).

Demonstratives like ใ“ใ‚Œ, ใใ‚Œ and ใใกใ‚‰ often carry the answer in L2.

Woman: Are these tomatoes 100 yen each?

Man: Yes. But if you buy four, itโ€™s 350 yen.

Woman: Then four, please. And one of these cucumbers.

Man: Right, cucumbers are 60 yen each.

Answer: 2 โ€” ๅ››็™พๅๅ††

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.

Man: Excuse me, I want to go to Minato-machi. Which platform is it?

Woman: The 9:50 train has already left. The next one is the 10:05 from platform 3, but you have to change on the way. The 10:20 from platform 5 goes there without a change.

Man: Iโ€™m not in a hurry, so Iโ€™ll take the one without a change.

Answer: 3 โ€” ๅๆ™‚ไบŒๅๅˆ†

The man chooses the train with no change (ไน—ใ‚Šใ‹ใˆใŒใชใ„ใปใ†), which is the 10:20 from platform 5.

Woman: Excuse me, this is my first time at this hospital.

Man: Then please show me your health insurance card.

Woman: Here you are. Shall I show you my residence card too?

Man: No, that wonโ€™t be necessary. And please write your name and address on this form.

Answer: 1 โ€” ใปใ‘ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚‡ใ†

The receptionist asks for the health insurance card (ใปใ‘ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚‡ใ†). When she offers her residence card (ใ–ใ„ใ‚Šใ‚…ใ†ใ‚ซใƒผใƒ‰), he declines with ใ‘ใฃใ“ใ†ใงใ™ (no, thank you). A patient card (ใ—ใ‚“ใ•ใคใ‘ใ‚“) is only for returning patients, and this is her first visit. Refusals such as ใ‘ใฃใ“ใ†ใงใ™ and ใ„ใ„ใˆใ€ใใ‚Œใฏโ€ฆ are easy to miss.

Good morning. This morning weโ€™ll be digging up potatoes. The three new people, before you go to the field, please collect your rubber boots and gloves from the storehouse. After that, ask Mr Tanaka in the field how to do the work. Digging the potatoes comes after that.

Answer: 2 โ€” ใใ†ใ“ใง้•ทใใคใจใฆใถใใ‚ใ‚’ใ‚‚ใ‚‰ใ†

Digging potatoes is mentioned first but happens last (ใใ‚Œใ‹ใ‚‰ใงใ™). Before going to the field (ใฏใŸใ‘ใซ่กŒใๅ‰ใซ), the new workers collect boots and gloves from the storehouse (ใใ†ใ“); asking Mr Tanaka comes after that (ใใฎใ‚ใจ). ใ†ใ‘ใจใ‚‹ means to receive.

Hello, this is Yamamoto from Minato Fisheries. About tomorrow morningโ€™s work: the waves are high, so the boat wonโ€™t go out. Tomorrow, please come to the factory at seven and pack fish into boxes.

Small tomatoes and damaged ones (ใใšใŒใ‚ใ‚‹ใ‚‚ใฎ) go into the basket (ใ‹ใ”), not into a box.

Answer: 1 โ€” ใใ†ใ“

Rain is forecast (้›จใฎใ‚ˆใปใ†), so field work is off and instead (ใ‹ใ‚ใ‚Šใซ) Nguyen sorts potatoes in the storehouse (ใใ†ใ“). The field (ใฏใŸใ‘) is cancelled, and the office (ใ˜ใ‚€ใ—ใ‚‡) is only where the key is kept. ใ‹ใ‚ใ‚Šใซ (instead) is the signal word: what follows replaces the plan before it.

Yamada will buy the meat and vegetables (ใ“ใกใ‚‰ใง่ฒทใ„ใพใ™), and asks Anita to bring only drinks: ้ฃฒใฟ็‰ฉใ ใ‘ๆŒใฃใฆใใฆใใ ใ•ใ„. ใ ใ‘ means โ€˜onlyโ€™, so meat and vegetables are wrong. ใ ใ‘ (only) limits the list. When an option is something someone else will buy, it is not your job.

Answer: 2 โ€” 7ๆ™‚40ๅˆ†

On Saturday (ๅœŸ) 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.

Same passage as question 41.

The weekend line shows 7:40, 12:30 and 17:50, but the note says there is no 17:50 bus on Sunday, so the last Sunday bus is 12:30. 9:15 runs on weekdays only. ใ„ใกใฐใ‚“ใŠใใ„ means the latest. Always read the notes marked โ€ป. They change what the table seems to say.

  1. 1,200ๅ††
  2. 1,600ๅ††

Answer: 3 โ€” 2,000ๅ††

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. ๅฐๅญฆ็”Ÿ (ใ—ใ‚‡ใ†ใŒใใ›ใ„) means primary-school pupil. Price lists usually have different rates for adults and children. Count the people carefully.

The last line tells people without a car to contact the town office (็”บใฎใ˜ใ‚€ใ—ใ‚‡) by 10 March. There is no bus from the station (ใƒใ‚นใฏใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“), and the pack of strawberries is something you may take home, not something you must buy. ใ‚Œใ‚“ใ‚‰ใใ™ใ‚‹ means to get in touch. A โ€œmust doโ€ question points to a sentence with ใ€œใฆใใ ใ•ใ„. A โ€œmay doโ€ detail (ใ€œใ“ใจใŒใงใใพใ™) is a common distractor.

Changing into boots is step 2, so the next step is 3: stepping into the water with disinfectant (ใใ™ใ‚Šใฎๅ…ฅใฃใŸๆฐด) in your boots. Putting on a cap is step 1, before the boots, and washing your hands is step 4, after the water. ใฏใใ‹ใˆใ‚‹ means to change footwear. With numbered instructions, find the step named in the question and read the next one.

The sign says ็‰›ใŒใณใฃใใ‚Šใ™ใ‚‹ใฎใง: 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. ใณใฃใใ‚Šใ™ใ‚‹ means to be startled. Reasons in notices are often given with ใ€œใฎใง. Match the option to the sentence that holds the ใ€œใฎใง.

The fish market (้ญšใฎใ„ใกใฐ, ใ•ใ‹ใชใฎใ„ใกใฐ) 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.

Answer: 3 โ€” ใ‚„ใ•ใ„ใฎๅทฅๅ ด

Only the vegetable factory works in the afternoon (13ๆ™‚ใ€œ18ๆ™‚). The orchard runs 7 to 12 and the fish market 4 to 8 in the morning, both of which clash with morning school. ๅˆๅ‰ไธญ (ใ”ใœใ‚“ใกใ‚…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.

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.
