Sit Mock Exam 7 first, under real conditions - one 60-minute sitting, headphones on, nothing else open. Everything below gives the answers away, and a set you have already read the answers to cannot tell you anything about your level.
This set leans on hotels and accommodation: the front desk, room cleaning, guestsโ requests, check-in and check-out times, lost property, the staff room and the laundry. About half the questions are set there; the rest are ordinary daily life and work. If you are heading for the accommodation field, the polite set phrases in the conversation section are worth learning by heart. The other sets are on the page with all ten mock exams.

Question 1
ใใตใใใทใฃใฏใผใฎใใจใงใใฌใใใใใ ใใตใใใฎใงใใ
ใใคใใใ่ชญใใงใใใกใฐใใใใใจใฐใไธใคใใใใงใใ ใใใ
- ใใฃใใ
- ใฟใชใซ
- ในใชใใ
Answer: 2 โ ใฟใชใซ
The description is โa thing you use to dry (ใตใ) your wet (ใฌใใ) body after a bath or showerโ, which is a ใฟใชใซ (towel). ใใฃใใ (soap) is used in the bath, not after it, and ในใชใใ (slippers) go on your feet. Bathroom words come up a lot in hotel work: ใฟใชใซ, ใใฃใใ, ใทใฃใณใใผ, ในใชใใ, ใใฉใคใคใผ. Learn them as a group.
Question 2
ใใใซใซ็ใใใใใใใใใใๅๅใๆธใใฆใใธใใฎใใใใใใๆใงใใ
ใใคใใใ่ชญใใงใใใกใฐใใใใใจใฐใไธใคใใใใงใใ ใใใ
- ใใญใณใ
- ใใใใฉใ
- ใจใฌใใผใฟใผ
Answer: 1 โ ใใญใณใ
The place where guests who have arrived at a hotel write their name and receive the room key (ใใ) is the ใใญใณใ (front desk). ใใใใฉใ (dining room) is where you eat, and an ใจใฌใใผใฟใผ (lift) takes you between floors - you get no key there. In a Japanese hotel the desk is almost always called ใใญใณใ, not ใฌใปใใทใงใณ. The word on the sign is the one guests will use.
Question 3
ใ้ใๅ ฅใใฆใใฟใณใใใใจใ้ฃฒใฟ็ฉใๅบใฆใใใใใใงใใ
ใใคใใใ่ชญใใงใใใกใฐใใใใใจใฐใไธใคใใใใงใใ ใใใ
- ใใใใใ
- ใใใใใ
- ใใฉใใฏใใฐใใ
Answer: 3 โ ใใฉใใฏใใฐใใ
A machine that gives you a drink when you put in money and press a button is a ใใฉใใฏใใฐใใ (vending machine). A ใใใใใ (fridge) keeps drinks cold but takes no money, and a ใใใใใ (washing machine) washes clothes. ใใฉใใฏใใฐใใ is long, but it breaks into ใใฉใ (automatic) + ใฏใใฐใ (selling) + ใ (machine). Splitting long words like this makes them far easier to keep.
Question 4
ใใใใใใพใๅธฐใฃใใใใธใใฎใทใผใใๆฐใใใใฎใซ๏ผใ๏ผใใ ใใใ
- ใใพใฃใฆ
- ใฏใใฃใฆ
- ใจใใใใฆ
Answer: 3 โ ใจใใใใฆ
AใBใซใจใใใใ means โto change A for Bโ, so โchange the sheets for new onesโ needs ใจใใใใฆ. ใใพใฃใฆ (put away) and ใฏใใฃใฆ (pay) do not go with ๆฐใใใใฎใซ. The particle is the clue: ใซ marks what you change to. Of the three verbs, only ใจใใใใ takes that pattern.
Question 5
ใใฎใธใใฏใพใฉใๅคงใใใฎใงใๆใฏใจใฆใ๏ผใ๏ผใงใใ
- ใใใ
- ๆใใ
- ใใพใ
Answer: 2 โ ๆใใ
Big windows (ใพใฉใๅคงใใ) are the reason, so the room is ๆใใ (ใใใใ, bright) in the morning. ใใใ (dark) is the opposite of what big windows give you, and ใใพใ (small, cramped) has nothing to do with windows. When a sentence gives a reason with ใฎใง, the answer has to follow from that reason. Ask โwhat do big windows cause?โ before you look at the options.
Question 6
ใใใใฎใใใใฏ9ๆใซๅงใพใใพใใ๏ผใ๏ผใใใใชใใงใใ ใใใ
- ใใฃใใใซ
- ใ ใใ ใ
- ใกใใใฉ
Answer: 1 โ ใใฃใใใซ
ใใฃใใใซ (absolutely) goes naturally with a strong โdonโtโ - ใใฃใใใซใใใใชใใงใใ ใใ, โwhatever you do, donโt be lateโ. ใ ใใ ใ (gradually) describes slow change, and ใกใใใฉ (exactly) goes with times and amounts, not with a negative request. ใใฃใใใซ sits naturally with ๏ฝใชใใงใใ ใใ and with ๏ฝใฆใใ ใใ. It is worth learning as a pair with the negative request.
Question 7
ใ้จๅฑใใฏใใฒใใใชใงใฉใๆธใใพใใใ
- ใธใ
- ใถใ
- ใธใใ
Answer: 1 โ ใธใ
้จๅฑ (room) is read ใธใ. It is a special reading: ้จ is normally ใถ and ๅฑ normally ใ, which is why ใถใ is a tempting wrong answer. ใธใใ (ๅนณ้, a plain) is a different word altogether. ้จๅฑ is one of a handful of everyday words whose reading you cannot build from the separate kanji. Others at this level include ไปๆฅ (ใใใ) and ๅคงไบบ (ใใจใช).
Question 8
ใ่ท็ฉใใฏใใฒใใใชใงใฉใๆธใใพใใใ
- ใใใค
- ใซใถใค
- ใซใใค
Answer: 3 โ ใซใใค
่ท็ฉ (luggage) is read ใซใใค. ใซใถใค uses the other reading of ็ฉ (ใถใค) and is not a word, and ใใใค (่ฒจ็ฉ) means freight, a different word with a near-miss sound. Wrong readings in this part are built from real readings of each kanji put together the wrong way. If a reading โlooks possibleโ, check whether you have actually heard it.
Question 9
ใๅไปใใฏใใฒใใใชใงใฉใๆธใใพใใใ
- ใใใฅใ
- ใใใคใ
- ใใ ใคใ
Answer: 2 โ ใใใคใ
ๅไป (reception) is read ใใใคใ, with a clear ใค. ใใใฅใ adds a voiced sound that is not there, and ใใ ใคใ mixes the on-reading of ๅ (ใใ ) into a word that uses the kun-reading. ๅไป is the sign you look for at a clinic, a company or city hall. It is worth knowing by sight, not only by sound.
Question 10
ใใใใฏๅๅพ3ๆใใ๏ผใ๏ผใฎใงใ2ๆๅใซ้ง ใงไผใใพใใใใ
- ็ตใใใพใ
- ๅงใพใใพใ
- ๆญขใพใใพใ
Answer: 2 โ ๅงใพใใพใ
The film โstarts from 3 p.m.โ, so they meet at half past two: ๅงใพใใพใ (ใฏใใพใใพใ, starts). ็ตใใใพใ (ends) does not go with ใใ, and ๆญขใพใใพใ (stops) is used for machines and trains, not films starting. Time words are the clue here: ใใ pairs with starting, ใพใง with finishing.
Question 11
ใใฟใฏใใใฎๅคงใใใตใใใซ๏ผใ๏ผใใ ใใใ
- ๅบใใฆ
- ๆใฃใฆ
- ๅ ฅใใฆ
Answer: 3 โ ๅ ฅใใฆ
ใตใใใซๅ ฅใใฆ (ใใใฆ) means โput it into the bagโ, which is what you do with rubbish. ๅบใใฆ (ใ ใใฆ, take out) is the opposite direction, and ๆใฃใฆ (ใใฃใฆ, hold) does not take ใตใใใซ. ใซ + ๅ ฅใใ (into) and ใใ + ๅบใ (out of) are mirror images. The particle tells you which way the action goes.
Question 12
ในใฟใใใซใผใ ใงใใใใซใฎใใใตใใซ๏ผใ๏ผใใใใใญใณใใซ่กใใพใใ
- ็ใใใฆ

- ๆดใฃใฆ
Answer: 1 โ ็ใใใฆ
ใใใตใใซ็ใใใ (ใใใใ) means โchange into the uniformโ, which is what staff do in the staff room before going to the desk. ไผใใง (ใใใใง, rest) and ๆดใฃใฆ (ใใใฃใฆ, wash) cannot take ใใใตใใซ. Hotel staff talk about ็ใใ (changing clothes) every shift. The pattern is always [clothes] ใซ ็ใใใ.

- ใใใใฃใใใจใใใใพใ
- ใใใใใใจใใงใใพใ
Answer: 3 โ ใใใใใใจใใงใใพใ
The guest is too early to check in, but ใงใ signals good news: the hotel โcan look afterโ the bags now, ใใใใใใจใใงใใพใ. ใใใใฃใฆใฏใใใพใใ (must not) is not a helpful โbutโ, and ใใใใฃใใใจใใใใพใ (have done before) talks about past experience, not what is possible today. ใใใใ means to keep something for someone. Check-in is usually from 3 p.m. in Japan, and hotels routinely keep bags for early arrivals. If you work on a front desk you will say this sentence many times a day.
Question 14
ใใใใใค (The meeting room)
A๏ผใใใใใคใใใไฝฟใใพใใใ
B๏ผใใใใๅใฎใใใใฎไบบใใพใ ไธญใซ๏ผใ๏ผใฎใงใใใๅฐใๅพ ใฃใฆใใ ใใใ

- ใใ
- ใใชใ
- ใใชใใฃใ
Answer: 1 โ ใใ
You have to wait because the people from the last meeting are โstill insideโ - ใพใ ไธญใซใใ. ใใชใ and ใใชใใฃใ (are not / were not there) would mean the room is free, which contradicts ใใใ and ๅพ ใฃใฆใใ ใใ. Read the whole of Bโs reply before choosing: ใใใ at the start and ๅพ ใฃใฆใใ ใใ at the end both point the same way.
Question 15

A๏ผใใใใๅใ ใกใ10ไบบใใใๅฎถใซๆฅใใใงใใ

- ่ฒทใฃใใใจใใใ
- ่ฒทใฃใฆใใ
- ่ฒทใฃใฆใใพใฃใ
Answer: 2 โ ่ฒทใฃใฆใใ
๏ฝใฆใใ means doing something in advance to get ready, so ่ฒทใฃใฆใใใจใใ is โitโs a good idea to buy them in advanceโ. ๏ฝใจใใ needs a dictionary form, which rules out ่ฒทใฃใฆใใพใฃใ (past), and ่ฒทใฃใใใจใใใ (have bought before) is about experience, not preparation. ๏ฝใฆใใ is one of the most useful patterns for workplace Japanese: ใใ ใใณใใฆใใ, ใณใใผใใฆใใ, ้ป่ฉฑใใฆใใ - all โdoing it now so it is ready laterโ.
Question 16

- ๅๅผทใใใฐ
- ๅๅผทใใฆใ
- ๅๅผทใใใชใ
Answer: 1 โ ๅๅผทใใใฐ
๏ฝใฐใใใฃใ expresses regret - โI wish I had studied moreโ - so ๅๅผทใใใฐใใใฃใ is the set pattern. ๅๅผทใใฆใใใใฃใ would mean โit was all right to studyโ, and ๅๅผทใใใชใใใใฃใ is not a natural pattern. Learn ๏ฝใฐใใใฃใ as a fixed expression of regret. Its natural partner is ใใฃใจ: ใใฃใจๆฉใๆฅใใฐใใใฃใ, ใใฃใจ็ทด็ฟใใใฐใใใฃใ.
Question 17

- ๅบใใฎใซ
- ๅบใใใใซ
- ๅบใใฎใง
Answer: 3 โ ๅบใใฎใง
A asks what happened (ใฉใใใใใงใใ), so B gives a reason with ๏ฝใฎใง: ใญใคใๅบใใฎใง, โbecause I had a temperatureโ. ๏ฝใฎใซ means โeven thoughโ, which makes no sense here, and ๏ฝใใใซ (in order to) would mean going to hospital in order to get a fever. When someone asks what happened, the answer usually gives a reason with ใใ or ใฎใง. Look for the option that gives a reason.
Question 18
ใใใใฎใใใใใ (The washing machine in the dormitory)
A๏ผใใฎใใใใใใๅใใพใใใญใ
B๏ผใใใใใฎใใฟใณใ้ทใ๏ผใ๏ผใๅใใพใใใ

- ใใใชใใ
- ใใใจ
- ใใๅใซ
Answer: 2 โ ใใใจ
๏ฝใจ describes what always happens as a result: โif you hold the button down, it startsโ. ใใใชใใ (while pressing) and ใใๅใซ (before pressing) do not give the condition that makes the machine work. ๅใ (ใใใ) means to move or run. ๏ฝใจ is used for things that always happen - instructions for machines, directions, natural results. That is why it appears so often in explanations of how to use something.
Question 19
ใใใซใซใใใใใใพใ็ใ (A guest arrives at the hotel)
A๏ผ๏ผใ๏ผใใใงใใฏใคใณใงใใใใพใใใ

- ใใฃใฆใใฃใใใใพใ
- ใใใฃใใใใพใ
- ใใใใใชใใใพใ
Answer: 2 โ ใใใฃใใใใพใ
A new guest arriving is greeted with ใใใฃใใใใพใ (welcome). ใใฃใฆใใฃใใใใพใ is said to a guest going out, and ใใใใใชใใใพใ to a guest coming back to the hotel - but this guest has not checked in yet. ใใใ means reservation. Hotel staff use three greetings that learners mix up: ใใใฃใใใใพใ (arriving), ใใฃใฆใใฃใใใใพใ (going out), ใใใใใชใใใพใ (coming back). Who is moving, and in which direction, decides it.
Question 20

- ใใใใพใใพใใ
- ใใใ ใใพใ
Answer: 1 โ ใพใใฎใใใใใๅพ ใกใใฆใใใพใ
Staff say ใพใใฎใใใใใๅพ ใกใใฆใใใพใ, โwe look forward to your next visitโ, to a departing guest. ใใใใพใใพใใ is what a visitor says when leaving someoneโs home, so it belongs to the guest, not the staff, and ใใใ ใใพใ is said before eating. Notice Bโs reply. ใใใใซใชใใพใใ is what the guest says at the end of a stay, which confirms A is staff seeing the guest off.
Question 21
ใใใใใใพใๅฐใๅพ ใใใ (You kept a guest waiting for a moment)
A๏ผ๏ผใ๏ผใใใกใใใใใธใใฎใใใงใใใใพใใ

- ใใใใใชใใ
- ใใใใใ ใใ
- ใใพใใใใใใพใใ
Answer: 3 โ ใใพใใใใใใพใใ
After keeping someone waiting you say ใใพใใใใใใพใใ, โsorry to have kept you waitingโ, the polite form of ใใพใใใใพใใ. ใใใใใชใใ welcomes someone home, and ใใใใใ ใใ is what a visitor calls out at someoneโs door. ใใพใใใใใใพใใ is used even after a short wait. On a front desk it is said far more often than people expect.
Question 22
ๅ ใฑใใซใใใใฎไฝฟใๆนใ่ใ (Asking a senior colleague how to use a machine)
A๏ผใใฎใใใใฎใใใใฎไฝฟใๆนใใใใใชใใใงใใใ๏ผใ๏ผใ

- ๆใใฆใใใใงใใ
- ๆใใฆใใใ ใใพใใใ
Answer: 3 โ ๆใใฆใใใ ใใพใใใ
You are asking a senior to teach you, so you need a polite request: ๆใใฆใใใ ใใพใใใ, โcould you possibly show me?โ. ๆใใพใใใใ is an offer to teach someone else, and ๆใใฆใใใใงใใ gives permission - both turn the situation round. If the options include a verb you would say, a verb the other person would say, and a request, ask who needs what. Here you need help, so you need the request.
Question 23

- ใใใใซใชใใพใใ
Answer: 2 โ ใใคใใใใพใ
Entering a room where someone senior is, you say ใใคใใใใพใ, โexcuse meโ. ใๅ ใซใใคใใใใพใ is said when you leave work before others, and ใใใใซใชใใพใใ is a thank-you at the end of a stay or a job. ใๅ ใซใใคใใใใพใ and ใใคใใใใพใ look alike but are used at opposite moments: leaving early versus entering a room.
Question 24

- ใใฐใใฏใใญใณใใงๅฃฒใฃใฆใใใพใ
Answer: 1 โ ใใธใใงใฎใใฐใใฏใใใใใใใ ใใ
ใใใใใใใ ใใ is the polite way to say โplease refrainโ, and the guestโs reply ๅคใงใใใพใ (Iโll smoke outside) shows he has been asked not to smoke in the room. Asking him to leave cigarettes in the room, or telling him they are sold at the desk, would not lead to that reply. ใใใใใใใ ใใ is the standard polite form on hotel signs: ใใใฐใใฏใใใใใใใ ใใ, ใใใใใฏใใใใใใใ ใใ. You will see it on notices as often as you hear it.

Answer: 1 โ ใซใใคใ้ใถ
She expects to clean 208 next, but the man says 208 can wait (ใใจใงใใ) and tells her to carry guestsโ luggage first (ๅ ใซ). 207 is already finished. Listen for ๅ ใซ, โfirstโ - it usually marks the real next step. ใใจใงใใ means โlater is fineโ.It postpones a task rather than cancelling it, which is exactly how the next step changes in this kind of item.

Wednesday at 3 is the first suggestion, but the man is off that afternoon. Thursday morning does not work for the woman either, so they settle on Thursday at 3 (ๆจๆๆฅใฎ3ๆใชใใ ใใใใใถ). The answer is the last time agreed, not the first one mentioned. Three times are spoken and only one is agreed. In schedule questions, wait for the confirmation (ใใใใใใใใพใใใ) before you choose.

He says the train came properly (ใกใใใจๆฅใ) - so the train was not the problem - but he could not find a place to park his bicycle (่ช่ปข่ปใใจใใๆ). He never mentions oversleeping (ใญใผใ).

Answer: 2 โ 5ๆๅ
The woman first says 6:30, then corrects herself (ใพใกใใใพใใ) - the order is 900 boxes, not 600, so he must come at 5:30. 6:30 is the cancelled time, and 6:00 is never said. When you hear ใพใกใใใพใใ or ใใใชใใฆ, the answer usually follows. Write the first number down if you need to, but expect it to change. In JFT-Basic listening the first number spoken is often the wrong one.

Answer: 1 โ 750ๅ
He first asks for two strawberry cakes (800 yen), then changes his mind with ใใฃใฑใ: one strawberry (400) and one chocolate (350), which is 750 yen. 700 yen would be two chocolate cakes. ใใฃใฑใ is the classic signal that the plan is changing. Prices in listening items are often built from two items you have to add yourself. The total is never spoken aloud.

Answer: 3 โ ใใฐใ
The station worker guesses ใใ (umbrella), but he says ใใใใใชใใฆใใใฐใ - a bag. The mobile phone (ใใใใ้ป่ฉฑ) is inside the bag, so it was not left on its own. ใใใ็ฉ means a lost or forgotten item. Lost property offices are a good everyday setting to know: ใใใ็ฉ, ใใจใ็ฉ (something dropped), and the question ใฉใใชใใฎใงใใ.

Stop 3 is the usual one (ใใคใใฏ), but because of roadwork the bus leaves from stop 5 today. Stop 1 is the airport bus. ็ชใฎใใฐ is the counter for bus stops. ใใคใใฏโฆใใไปๆฅใฏโฆ is the classic signal that today is different, and ใใใงใ introduces the correction. The answer comes after it.

The medicine arrives at 11, and the man suggests 11:30, but the pharmacist is on a break until 12, so he comes at 12 (12ๆใงใใญ). 11ๆ is the delivery time and 11ๆๅ is his rejected plan. Three times are mentioned, and each has a different job. The one the man repeats back (12ๆใงใใญ) is the one that counts.

New guests are moving into the fifth-floor rooms at 2 p.m. Also, please bring the sheets from the basement storeroom, not from the laundry room on the second floor.
Answer: 1 โ 5ใใ
ใใคใใฏ3ใใ (usually the third floor) is the trap; ไปๆฅใฏ5ใใใใ (today from the fifth) is the instruction, because new guests arrive there at 2 p.m. The second floor is where the laundry room is, and the sheets are not even coming from there today.

About tomorrow nightโs shift - your uniform still hasnโt come back from the cleaners. So tomorrow, please come in a white shirt and black trousers.

Answer: 1 โ ็ฝใใทใฃใใจ้ปใใบใใณ
His uniform (ใใใตใ) is still at the cleaners, so he is told to wear a white shirt and black trousers. The shirt must be white, not black, and the tie is waiting at the hotel, so the third option mixes up two details. ใใฉใฃใฆใใฆใใชใ means โhas not come back yetโ. Voicemails in the exam usually carry one change of plan and one thing you do not need to do (here, bring a tie). Listen for both.

Tonight the bath closes at 10 because of cleaning (ใใใใฎใใ). 12 is the usual closing time (ใใคใใฏ), and 6 is when it opens again tomorrow morning. ใใกใ ใใใใ ใใ means โplease take noteโ.

There are three washing machines. The far left is for sheets, the middle one for towels, and the right one for staff uniforms. We used to wash sheets in the middle machine, but that changed this month, so please be careful.
Answer: 2 โ ใพใไธญ
Towels go in the middle machine (ใพใไธญใฏใฟใชใซ). The far left is for sheets and the right for staff uniforms. The last sentence, saying sheets used to go in the middle machine (ๅใฏโฆ), is there to confuse you - it describes the old system, not todayโs. When a speaker says ๅใฏ (before) or ไปๆใใ (from this month), the item is testing whether you can tell the old rule from the new one.

The note says the guest phoned wanting one more pillow - ใพใใใใใไธใคใปใใ. Towels (ใฟใชใซ) and blankets (ใใใต) are other things guests often ask for, but they are not in this note. Read the question first and scan for the object. The note answers it in its first line.

Answer: 1 โ ใใใใฎไธ
The guest is out until about 5, so Maria goes into the room and leaves the pillow on the bed - ใใใใฎไธใซใใใฆใใ ใใ. ใใญใณใ is where Kobayashi works, not where the pillow goes, and the note never mentions leaving it outside the door. In memo questions, the โwhyโ (the guest is out until 5) often explains the โwhatโ (go in and leave it on the bed). Both are in the same paragraph.

The notice says donโt keep it yourself (่ชๅใงๆใฃใฆใใชใใง) and take it straight to the front desk (ใใใซใใญใณใใซใจใฉใใฆ). The hotel, not the staff member, keeps items for three months, and nothing is said about posting them. ใจใฉใใ means to hand something in. The negative form ๏ฝใชใใง (without doing) is the key to the first line: ่ชๅใงๆใฃใฆใใชใใง means โinstead of holding on to it yourselfโ.

Food and drink (้ฃใน็ฉใ้ฃฒใฟ็ฉ) are thrown away the same day - ใใฎๆฅใซใใฆใพใ. The three-month rule is for other lost property, which is the trap. ใใฆใ means to throw away. Notices often give a general rule and then an exception. Questions love the exception - here, food and drink.

At 10:30 a.m. only the coin laundry is open, because it runs 24 hours (24ๆ้). Breakfast ends at 9:30, and the morning bath closes at 9:00 and does not open again until 15:00. With a table, check every option against the time, not only the one you expect to be right. Two of these places are open at other times of the morning.

The large bath is open until 24:00, so 11 p.m. is fine, and it is on the first basement floor - ๅฐไธ1ใใ (ใกใ ใใฃใใ). The first floor (1ใใ) is the restaurant and the second floor (2ใใ) is the coin laundry. ๅฐไธ (ใกใ) means underground, and ๅฐไธ1ใใ is the first floor below ground. Floor guides use it in every station, department store and hotel.

Electricity is off on 8 October from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., during the day (ๆผ). The 7th is the day before, when you empty the fridge, and the inspection ends at 3 p.m., so the evening of the 8th is fine. ใฆใใใ means inspection. The day before the inspection is the 7th. A question about ๅใฎๆฅ is asking you to count back one day.

The day before, you should reduce the food in your fridge (ใใใใใใฎไธญใฎ้ฃใน็ฉใๅฐใชใใใฆใใใฆ). Phoning the management office is only for questions, and cleaning is never mentioned. ใใฆใใใฆใใ ใใ asks you to do something in advance, to get ready. Here it is the fridge, because it will have no power during the day.

Step 1, before laying the new sheet in step 2, is to take off the old sheet and pillowcase and put them in a bag. The pillow cover (step 3) and the blanket (step 4) come after the new sheet. ใใ means to spread or lay out. Numbered instructions make โbeforeโ questions easy if you find the step the question mentions first, then look one step up.

The note at the bottom (โป) says that if a sheet has a stain or a hole (ใใใใใใช), you do not use it and show it to the leader. Hiding it under the bedspread or using it as it is (ใใฎใพใพ) both break that rule. The โป mark introduces a note or warning on Japanese notices. Always read it - it is where the exception lives.

Answer: 2 โ 1400ๅ
Two shirts at 400 yen are 800 yen, plus one pair of trousers at 600 yen makes 1,400 yen. 1,000 yen counts only one shirt, and 1,600 yen counts two pairs of trousers. Note the counters: ใพใ for flat things like shirts, ๆฌ (ใปใ) for long things like trousers. Counters to keep: ใพใ (shirts, sheets, paper), ๆฌ (trousers, bottles, umbrellas), ใ (small objects), ่ถณ (ใใ, pairs of socks or shoes).
Question 48

Answer: 3 โ ใใใใฎๅคๆน6ๆ
Sweaters are always ready the next day at 6 p.m. (ใคใใฎๆฅใฎๅคๆน6ๆ), so it is tomorrow evening. The โbefore 9 a.m. means ready the same dayโ rule is only for shirts - that is the trap - and 9 a.m. is the drop-off deadline, not a pick-up time. The rule in brackets on the shirt line applies only to shirts. Read which line a condition belongs to before you use it.
What to do with your score
Whatever you scored, the useful part is the review. Go back through every question you got wrong, and every one you got right by guessing, and sort them by cause - a word you did not know, a pattern you half-knew, or a detail you missed in the audio. How to review a mock test sets out a method you can repeat after every set. And remember the estimate is only an estimate: why JFT-Basic scores are out of 250 explains what the number can and cannot tell you.
When you are ready, sit Mock Exam 8 under the same conditions, then check it against the Mock Exam 8 answers.
