This is the answer guide for Mock Exam 8. If you have not sat it yet, stop here and sit it first, under real conditions: one 60-minute clock, headphones, no dictionary. Everything below spoils it, and a mock you have already seen the answers to cannot tell you much.

Set 8 leans on getting around and staying well - trains that run late, a bus stop closed for roadworks, a bakery order that changes, directions, a weekend trip, a clinic appointment that moves and a pharmacist explaining a dose. The rest is the usual mix of work and daily life. When you have finished here, the other sets are waiting on the page of all ten mock exams.

Question 1

้›ป่ปŠใ‚„ใƒใ‚นใซไน—ใ‚‹ๅ‰ใซ่ฒทใ†ใ€ๅฐใ•ใ„็ด™ใงใ™ใ€‚ใฉใ“ใพใง่กŒใใ‹ใ€ใ„ใใ‚‰ใ‹ใŒๆ›ธใ„ใฆใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™ใ€‚

  1. ใƒฌใ‚ทใƒผใƒˆ
  2. ใใฃใท
  3. ใกใš

Answer: 2 โ€” ใใฃใท

You buy a ใใฃใท (ticket) before you get on, and it shows where you are going and the fare. A ใƒฌใ‚ทใƒผใƒˆ (receipt) is also a small piece of paper, but you get it after paying in a shop, and it is not needed to ride. A ใกใš (map) shows places, not a fare. On station signs and ticket machines you will also see it written in kanji as ๅˆ‡็ฌฆ, so it is worth knowing both ways.

Question 2

ๅŒป่€…ใ‹ใ‚‰ใ‚‚ใ‚‰ใฃใŸ็ด™ใ‚’่ฆ‹ใ›ใฆใ€่–ฌใ‚’ใ‚‚ใ‚‰ใ†ๆ‰€ใงใ™ใ€‚

  1. ใ‚„ใฃใใ‚‡ใ
  2. ใ‚†ใ†ใณใ‚“ใใ‚‡ใ
  3. ใŽใ‚“ใ“ใ†

Answer: 1 โ€” ใ‚„ใฃใใ‚‡ใ

ใ‚„ใฃใใ‚‡ใ (pharmacy) is where you show the prescription from the doctor (ๅŒป่€…, ใ„ใ—ใ‚ƒ) and receive your medicine (่–ฌ, ใใ™ใ‚Š). ใ‚†ใ†ใณใ‚“ใใ‚‡ใ (post office) and ใŽใ‚“ใ“ใ† (bank) end in similar sounds but have nothing to do with medicine. Words ending in ใ€œใใ‚‡ใ (ๅฑ€) are offices of some kind, which is exactly why the three options look alike. Read the description, not the shape of the word.

Question 3

้›จใฎๆ—ฅใซใ€ๆœใŒใฌใ‚Œใชใ„ใ‚ˆใ†ใซใ€ๆœใฎไธŠใ‹ใ‚‰็€ใ‚‹ใ‚‚ใฎใงใ™ใ€‚

  1. ใผใ†ใ—
  2. ใฆใถใใ‚
  3. ใƒฌใ‚คใƒณใ‚ณใƒผใƒˆ

Answer: 3 โ€” ใƒฌใ‚คใƒณใ‚ณใƒผใƒˆ

Something you put on over your clothes (ๆœใฎไธŠใ‹ใ‚‰็€ใ‚‹) so they donโ€™t get wet in the rain is a ใƒฌใ‚คใƒณใ‚ณใƒผใƒˆ (raincoat). A ใผใ†ใ— (hat) goes on your head and ใฆใถใใ‚ (gloves) go on your hands, and you do not ็€ใ‚‹ either of them. The verb is the clue: ็€ใ‚‹ is for clothes on the body, ใ‹ใถใ‚‹ for a hat and ใ™ใ‚‹ or ใฏใ‚ใ‚‹ for gloves.

Question 4

ใ˜ใ“ใŒใ‚ใฃใŸใฎใงใ€้›ป่ปŠใŒ30ๅˆ†๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใ„ใพใ™ใ€‚

  1. ใŠใใ‚Œใฆ
  2. ใ„ใใ„ใง
  3. ใ™ใ™ใ‚“ใง

Answer: 1 โ€” ใŠใใ‚Œใฆ

ใŠใใ‚Œใฆใ„ใพใ™ means โ€œis running lateโ€: because of an accident (ใ˜ใ“), the train is 30 minutes late. ใ„ใใ„ใงใ„ใพใ™ (is hurrying) does not go with a number of minutes, and ใ™ใ™ใ‚“ใงใ„ใพใ™ (is ahead) is said of a clock, not a delayed train. Learn ใŠใใ‚Œใ‚‹ as a pair with ใพใซใ‚ใ† (to be in time): ้›ป่ปŠใŒใŠใใ‚Œใฆใ€ไป•ไบ‹ใซใพใซใ‚ใ„ใพใ›ใ‚“ใงใ—ใŸ.

Question 5

ใ‹ใ„ใŽใฎๆ™‚้–“ใŒๅค‰ใ‚ใฃใŸใฎใงใ€ใฟใ‚“ใชใซ๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ใ•ใŒใ—ใฆ
  2. ใชใ‚‰ในใฆ
  3. ใ—ใ‚‰ใ›ใฆ

Answer: 3 โ€” ใ—ใ‚‰ใ›ใฆ

When the meeting (ใ‹ใ„ใŽ) time has changed, you let everyone know: ใ—ใ‚‰ใ›ใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ (please inform). ใ•ใŒใ—ใฆ (look for) and ใชใ‚‰ในใฆ (line up) are real verbs, but you do not โ€œlook forโ€ or โ€œline upโ€ people because a time has changed. ใ€œใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ after a verb is the most common instruction form on the test, so the work here is all in the meaning of the verb.

Question 6

ใ“ใฎใ—ใ‚‡ใ‚‹ใ„ใฏๅคงๅˆ‡ใงใ™ใ‹ใ‚‰ใ€๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใชใใ•ใชใ„ใงใใ ใ•ใ„ใ€‚

  1. ใจใใฉใ
  2. ใœใฃใŸใ„ใซ
  3. ใŸใ„ใฆใ„

Answer: 2 โ€” ใœใฃใŸใ„ใซ

ใœใฃใŸใ„ใซ (absolutely, never) goes naturally with a negative instruction: the documents (ใ—ใ‚‡ใ‚‹ใ„) are important, so never lose them. ใจใใฉใ (sometimes) and ใŸใ„ใฆใ„ (usually) would mean it is fine to lose them some of the time, which contradicts ๅคงๅˆ‡ (ใŸใ„ใ›ใค, important). ใœใฃใŸใ„ใซ almost always comes with a negative or a strong instruction: ใœใฃใŸใ„ใซใ•ใ‚ใ‚‰ใชใ„ใงใใ ใ•ใ„ (never touch it).

Question 7

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

  1. ใณใ‚‡ใ†ใ„ใ‚“
  2. ใณใ‚ˆใ†ใ„ใ‚“
  3. ใดใ‚‡ใ†ใ„ใ‚“

Answer: 1 โ€” ใณใ‚‡ใ†ใ„ใ‚“

็—…้™ข (hospital) is ใณใ‚‡ใ†ใ„ใ‚“, with a small ใ‚‡. ใณใ‚ˆใ†ใ„ใ‚“, with a full-size ใ‚ˆ, is a different word - a hair salon (็พŽๅฎน้™ข) - so the size of that one kana matters. ใดใ‚‡ใ†ใ„ใ‚“ has the wrong first sound: ใด instead of ใณ. The small ใ‚ƒใ‚…ใ‚‡ is one of the most tested points in this part. Say the word aloud: ใณใ‚‡ใ† is one beat shorter than ใณใ‚ˆใ†.

Question 8

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

  1. ใพใ„ใ—ใ‚…
  2. ใพใ„ใ—ใ‚…ใ†
  3. ใพใ„ใ˜ใ‚…ใ†

Answer: 2 โ€” ใพใ„ใ—ใ‚…ใ†

ๆฏŽ้€ฑ (every week) is ใพใ„ใ—ใ‚…ใ†, with a long ใ† at the end, like ๆฅ้€ฑ (ใ‚‰ใ„ใ—ใ‚…ใ†). ใพใ„ใ—ใ‚… drops the long vowel, and ใพใ„ใ˜ใ‚…ใ† wrongly voices ใ— to ใ˜. Long vowels are another favourite trap. ้€ฑ is always ใ—ใ‚…ใ†: ไปŠ้€ฑ (ใ“ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚…ใ†), ๅ…ˆ้€ฑ (ใ›ใ‚“ใ—ใ‚…ใ†), ๆฏŽ้€ฑ (ใพใ„ใ—ใ‚…ใ†).

Question 9

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

  1. ใใต
  2. ใใท
  3. ใใฃใท

Answer: 3 โ€” ใใฃใท

ๅˆ‡็ฌฆ (ticket) is ใใฃใท, with a small ใฃ that doubles the p sound. ใใต drops both the small ใฃ and the p - and is a different word (ๅฏ„ไป˜, donation). ใใท keeps the p but loses the pause the small ใฃ makes. Small ใฃ is one of the most common traps in reading questions: say the word aloud and you can hear the short pause before the p.

Question 10

ใคใŽใฎ้ง…ใง้›ป่ปŠใ‚’๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใ€ใƒใ‚นใซไน—ใ‚Šใ‹ใˆใพใ™ใ€‚

  1. ้™ใ‚Šใฆ
  2. ๆญขใ‚ใฆ
  3. ๅ‡บใ—ใฆ

Answer: 1 โ€” ้™ใ‚Šใฆ

้›ป่ปŠใ‚’้™ใ‚Šใ‚‹ (ใŠใ‚Šใ‚‹) means to get off the train, which you must do before changing (ไน—ใ‚Šใ‹ใˆใ‚‹, ใฎใ‚Šใ‹ใˆใ‚‹) to a bus. ๆญขใ‚ใฆ (ใจใ‚ใฆ, stop) is something the driver does, not a passenger, and ๅ‡บใ—ใฆ (ใ ใ—ใฆ, take out / send) does not go with a train you are riding. Remember the particles: you get off a train with ใ‚’ (้›ป่ปŠใ‚’้™ใ‚Šใ‚‹) but get on with ใซ (้›ป่ปŠใซไน—ใ‚‹).

Question 11

ใ“ใฎใ‚นใƒผใƒ‘ใƒผใฏใ€ๅคœ11ๆ™‚ใพใง๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใ„ใพใ™ใ‹ใ‚‰ใ€ไป•ไบ‹ใฎๅพŒใงใ‚‚่ฒทใ„็‰ฉใŒใงใใพใ™ใ€‚

  1. ไผ‘ใ‚“ใง
  2. ้–‹ใ„ใฆ
  3. ้–‰ใพใฃใฆ

Answer: 2 โ€” ้–‹ใ„ใฆ

้–‹ใ„ใฆใ„ใพใ™ (ใ‚ใ„ใฆใ„ใพใ™) means โ€œis openโ€: the supermarket is open until 11 at night, so you can shop after work. ้–‰ใพใฃใฆ (ใ—ใพใฃใฆ, closed) and ไผ‘ใ‚“ใง (ใ‚„ใ™ใ‚“ใง, resting / off) both mean you could not shop, which contradicts the second half of the sentence. ้–‹ใ (ใ‚ใ) is the intransitive verb - the shop is open. Its pair ้–‹ใ‘ใ‚‹ (ใ‚ใ‘ใ‚‹) needs an object: ใพใฉใ‚’้–‹ใ‘ใพใ™.

Question 12

ๆฅๆœˆใ€ๅ›ฝใ‹ใ‚‰ๆฏใŒๆ—ฅๆœฌใซ๏ผˆใ€€๏ผ‰ใฎใงใ€ใใ†ใ“ใ†ใพใงใ‚€ใ‹ใˆใซ่กŒใใพใ™ใ€‚

  1. ๅธฐใ‚‹
  2. ่กŒใ
  3. ๆฅใ‚‹

Answer: 3 โ€” ๆฅใ‚‹

The mother is coming (ๆฅใ‚‹, ใใ‚‹) to Japan from her home country, so the speaker goes to the airport (ใใ†ใ“ใ†) to meet her (ใ‚€ใ‹ใˆใซ่กŒใ). ๅธฐใ‚‹ (ใ‹ใˆใ‚‹, go home) would only fit if Japan were her home. ่กŒใ (ใ„ใ) looks at the trip from the motherโ€™s side; the speaker is already in Japan, so movement towards the speaker is ๆฅใ‚‹. ๆฅใ‚‹ and ่กŒใ are about direction relative to the speaker. If the movement is towards where you are, it is ๆฅใ‚‹.

  1. ๆ›ฒใŒใ‚‹ใจ
  2. ๆ›ฒใŒใฃใŸใ‚Š
  3. ๆ›ฒใŒใฃใฆใ‚‚

Answer: 1 โ€” ๆ›ฒใŒใ‚‹ใจ

ใ€œใจ here means โ€œwhen you do X, Y happensโ€: turn right at the traffic lights (ใ—ใ‚“ใ”ใ†) and the station is right there. ๆ›ฒใŒใฃใŸใ‚Š (ใพใŒใฃใŸใ‚Š) lists actions and needs a second ใ€œใŸใ‚Š. ๆ›ฒใŒใฃใฆใ‚‚ (even if you turn) makes no sense as directions. ใ€œใจ is used for natural, automatic results, which is why it appears so often in directions: ใพใฃใ™ใ่กŒใใจใ€ๅทฆใซใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™.

  3. ใŸใใ•ใ‚“้ฃŸในใฆใใ ใ•ใ„

Answer: 2 โ€” ้ฃŸในใชใ„ใงๆฅใฆใใ ใ•ใ„

B answers ไฝ•ใ‚‚้ฃŸในใชใ„ใง่กŒใใพใ™ (I will come without eating anything), so the doctor must have said ้ฃŸในใชใ„ใงๆฅใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ (come without eating). This is common before a medical test (ใ‘ใ‚“ใ•). The other two options tell B to eat, which Bโ€™s reply contradicts. ใ€œใชใ„ใง + verb means โ€œdo X without doing Yโ€: ใ‹ใ•ใ‚’ๆŒใŸใชใ„ใงๅ‡บใ‹ใ‘ใพใ—ใŸ (I went out without an umbrella).

  2. ่กŒใฃใฆใใพใ—ใŸ
  3. ่กŒใใŸใ„ใงใ™

Answer: 2 โ€” ่กŒใฃใฆใใพใ—ใŸ

A asks about the past (่กŒใใพใ—ใŸใ‹) and B adds ใใ‚Œใ„ใงใ—ใŸ (it was beautiful), so B has already been: ่กŒใฃใฆใใพใ—ใŸ (I went and came back). ่กŒใใคใ‚‚ใ‚Šใงใ™ (I plan to go) and ่กŒใใŸใ„ใงใ™ (I want to go) are about the future and do not answer a question about last weekend. ใ€œใฆใใพใ—ใŸ after ่กŒใ is very natural in conversation for a trip you have come back from.

  3. ๅ‡บใ›ใฐใ„ใ„ใงใ™

Answer: 3 โ€” ๅ‡บใ›ใฐใ„ใ„ใงใ™

ใ€œใฐใ„ใ„ใงใ™ means โ€œit is enough toโ€ฆโ€: no need for tomorrow, next Friday is fine. ๅ‡บใ—ใฆใฏใ„ใ‘ใพใ›ใ‚“ (you must not hand it in) contradicts the idea of a deadline, and ๅ‡บใ—ใŸใ“ใจใŒใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ™ (I have handed it in before) talks about experience, not a deadline. ใ€œใฐใ„ใ„ใงใ™ is a gentle way of saying what is enough or what to do: ใฉใ†ใ™ใ‚Œใฐใ„ใ„ใงใ™ใ‹ (what should I do?).

  2. ใตใ‚‹ๅ‰ใซ
  3. ใตใ‚ŠใชใŒใ‚‰

Answer: 1 โ€” ใตใฃใŸใ‚‰

ใ€œใŸใ‚‰ gives a condition: โ€œif it rainsโ€. Bโ€™s ใใฎใจใใฏ (in that case) confirms that A has set up a condition. ใตใ‚‹ๅ‰ใซ (before it rains) and ใตใ‚ŠใชใŒใ‚‰ (while it rains) do not make a sensible question about the plan. ใ€œใŸใ‚‰ is the most flexible conditional at this level. Our guide to Japanese conditionals sets out the differences between ใŸใ‚‰, ใฐ and ใจ.

Answer: 2 โ€” ใ‹ใ‚‚ใ—ใ‚Œใพใ›ใ‚“

B is guessing, so ใ€œใ‹ใ‚‚ใ—ใ‚Œใพใ›ใ‚“ (might be) fits: โ€œhe might be off todayโ€. ใคใ‚‚ใ‚Šใงใ™ describes your own plan, and ใจใ“ใ‚ใงใ™ describes the moment of an action; neither can follow the noun ไผ‘ใฟ directly, and neither expresses a guess about someone else. ใ‹ใ‚‚ใ—ใ‚Œใพใ›ใ‚“ follows a noun directly: ไผ‘ใฟใ‹ใ‚‚ใ—ใ‚Œใพใ›ใ‚“, ้›จใ‹ใ‚‚ใ—ใ‚Œใพใ›ใ‚“.

Answer: 3 โ€” ใŠๅพ…ใกใใ ใ•ใ„

ใŠๅพ…ใกใใ ใ•ใ„ (please wait) is the polite request a clerk uses before calling your name. ใŠๅพ…ใŸใ›ใ—ใพใ—ใŸ (sorry to keep you waiting) and ใŠๅพ…ใกใฉใŠใ•ใพ (thanks for waiting) are said when the wait is over, not before it starts. All three phrases contain ๅพ…ใค (ใพใค), which is why they are tempting. Ask yourself whether the waiting is about to start or has just finished.

Answer: 2 โ€” ใ‚ใ‚ŠใŒใจใ†ใ”ใ–ใ„ใพใ™

When someone gives you a souvenir (ใŠใฟใ‚„ใ’), you thank them: ใ‚ใ‚ŠใŒใจใ†ใ”ใ–ใ„ใพใ™. ใฉใ†ใ„ใŸใ—ใพใ—ใฆ (youโ€™re welcome) is the reply to thanks, so it belongs to A, not B. ใŠใคใ‹ใ‚Œใ•ใพใงใ—ใŸ is said at the end of work, not when receiving a gift. The usual pattern when a colleague hands round sweets is ใ‚ใ‚ŠใŒใจใ†ใ”ใ–ใ„ใพใ™, then ใ„ใŸใ ใใพใ™ when you eat one.

Answer: 1 โ€” ใŠใ ใ„ใ˜ใซ

ใŠใ ใ„ใ˜ใซ (take care of yourself) is the set phrase for someone who is ill. ใ„ใฃใฆใ‚‰ใฃใ—ใ‚ƒใ„ is said to someone who is going out and coming back, and ใŠใ˜ใ‚ƒใพใ—ใพใ—ใŸ is what a guest says when leaving someoneโ€™s home.

Answer: 3 โ€” ใ—ใคใ‚Œใ„ใ—ใพใ—ใŸ

ใ—ใคใ‚Œใ„ใ—ใพใ—ใŸ is what you say as you leave a superiorโ€™s room - the past form, because the โ€œintrusionโ€ is over. ใ„ใฃใฆใใพใ™ is for leaving home or the office to go somewhere and come back. ใŠใ˜ใ‚ƒใพใ—ใพใ™ is said when you enter someoneโ€™s home, not when you leave. Its partner, ใ—ใคใ‚Œใ„ใ—ใพใ™, is what you say as you knock and go in - the two are a pair worth learning together.

Answer: 2 โ€” ใ‚‚ใ†ใ—ใ‚ใ‘ใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“

Being late to work calls for an apology, and ใ‚‚ใ†ใ—ใ‚ใ‘ใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“ is the polite one to use with a boss. ใŠใ‹ใ’ใ•ใพใง (thanks to you) is a reply when someone asks how you are, and ใ‹ใ—ใ“ใพใ‚Šใพใ—ใŸ (certainly) is how staff accept a request. ใ‚‚ใ†ใ—ใ‚ใ‘ใ‚ใ‚Šใพใ›ใ‚“ is stronger and more formal than ใ™ใฟใพใ›ใ‚“. It is the right choice with a manager or a customer.

Answer: 1 โ€” ใ„ใŸใ ใใพใ™

ใ„ใŸใ ใใพใ™ is said before you start eating, and Bโ€™s reply (please eat plenty) shows the meal has not started. ใ”ใกใใ†ใ•ใพใงใ—ใŸ is said after eating, and ใŠใ‹ใˆใ‚Šใชใ•ใ„ welcomes someone home. Its partner is ใ”ใกใใ†ใ•ใพใงใ—ใŸ after the meal. Both are said whoever did the cooking.

The key words are ใใฎๅ‰ใซ (before that): before changing and going to hospital, she must tell the leader (ใƒชใƒผใƒ€ใƒผใซ่ฉฑใ™). Changing (็€ใŒใˆใ‚‹, ใใŒใˆใ‚‹) and going to hospital both happen, but after. ใพใš (first) is the word in the question to listen for. ใพใš (first) and ใใฎๅ‰ใซ (before that) are the two words to listen for in any question about order.

ใ‚„ใฃใฑใ‚Š (on second thoughts) is the signal: she first picks black, then changes to blue because she already owns a black shirt. The white shirt only comes in L, which she says is too big (ๅคงใใ„). ใ‚„ใฃใฑใ‚Š often signals a change of mind. When you hear it, the earlier choice is probably not the answer.

Thank you for shopping at Sakura Supermarket today. From 3 p.m. today, bread will be cheaper. And from 5 p.m., eggs will be 100 yen a pack. The eggs will be sold not in the usual place on the first floor, but in front of the entrance on the second floor. One pack per customer.

The eggs are cheap from ๅˆๅพŒ5ๆ™‚, and they are sold on the 2้šŽ (second floor), not the usual 1้šŽ - ใ„ใคใ‚‚ใฎ1้šŽใงใฏใชใ (not the usual first floor) is the trap. ๅˆๅพŒ3ๆ™‚ is the time for the bread. ใ€œใงใฏใชใ (not X but Y) often hides the answer: the word after it is the one that matters.

Yamada is coming to explain (ใ›ใคใ‚ใ„) the machine, not to have Chan use it, and the note never asks Chan to phone Kimura. ใ€œใฆใ‚‚ใ‚‰ใฃใฆใใ ใ•ใ„ means โ€œplease have someone do somethingโ€ - here, have Yamada wait.

Answer: 3 โ€” ๅˆๅพŒ10ๆ™‚

Wednesday alone (ๆฐดๆ›œๆ—ฅใ ใ‘) has changed to the night shift, which starts at ๅˆๅพŒ10ๆ™‚. ๅˆๅ‰7ๆ™‚ was the old Wednesday start and is still Mondayโ€™s start. ๅˆๅพŒ3ๆ™‚ does not appear in the message.

  1. 8:00
  2. 8:40
  3. 9:00

Answer: 3 โ€” 9:00

On Saturday (ๅœŸใƒปๆ—ฅ row) the 9:00 bus takes 20 minutes and arrives at 9:20, before 9:30. The 8:00 bus would also arrive in time, but it is not the latest (ใงใใ‚‹ใ ใ‘ใŠใใ„, as late as possible). 8:40 only runs on weekdays (ๆœˆใ€œ้‡‘). Timetables usually split weekdays (here ๆœˆใ€œ้‡‘) from ๅœŸใƒปๆ—ฅ (weekends). Check which row you need before you do any maths.

  1. 7:40
  2. 8:10
  3. 8:30

Answer: 2 โ€” 8:10

Tuesday uses the weekday row, and 8:10 + 20 minutes = 8:30, exactly when reception (ใ†ใ‘ใคใ‘) opens. The 7:40 bus arrives at 8:00, half an hour early, and 8:30 is the arrival time, not a bus on the timetable. In timetable questions, add the journey time to the departure time, then compare it with the target. Do not stop at the first bus that seems to work.

10 a.m. on the 10th falls inside the water works (ใ™ใ„ใฉใ†ใฎๅทฅไบ‹), 9 to 12, when the dormitory (ใ‚Šใ‚‡ใ†) toilets cannot be used.

Noticeboard texts often say what you cannot do and then what to do instead. The โ€œinsteadโ€ part is usually the answer.

Laundry (ใ›ใ‚“ใŸใ) is allowed on the evening of the 9th or the afternoon (ๅˆๅพŒ) of the 10th, so 2 p.m. on the 10th is fine. 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on the 10th are both inside the 9-to-12 works, when there is no water. ๅˆๅ‰ is before noon and ๅˆๅพŒ is after it.

Plan A is the cheapest overall, but its 3GB is not enough for 10GB a month. Plan B (20GB, 2,980 yen) is the cheapest plan that covers it. Plan C also covers it but costs more. Price lists hide conditions in the โ€ป notes at the bottom. Read them before choosing.

  1. 2,480ๅ††
  2. 3,980ๅ††
  3. 3,480ๅ††

Answer: 3 โ€” 3,480ๅ††

30GB needs Plan C (50GB), and students (ๅญฆ็”Ÿ, ใŒใใ›ใ„) get 500 yen off: 3,980 - 500 = 3,480 yen. 3,980ๅ†† forgets the student discount, and 2,480ๅ†† is Plan B with the discount, which only has 20GB. Two-step price questions - choose the plan, then apply a discount - are typical of the last reading text.

What to do with your score

Mark yourself against the key, then go back through every question you got wrong and every one you got right by guessing. Our guide to reviewing a mock test shows how to turn that list into a study plan, section by section. And remember that a raw score out of 48 is not a score out of 250 - how JFT-Basic scaled scoring works explains why.

When you are ready, sit Mock Exam 9 under the same conditions, then check it with the Mock Exam 9 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.
