(Sticky Note comment Mac5/28/2011 8:33:06 PMIn this section, be careful of the 'tenten's and different readings. This is where Anki practice and readthekanji.com will be helpful.There are 12 of these questions on the actual test.You should try to answer these in 20 to 30 seconds or less each. That's around aminute for this test or 6 minutes on the actual test.)(Sticky Note comment Mac5/28/2011 8:33:45 PMThis is where you must choose the right kanji or katakana (for N5 only). Be aware of fake kanji or similar looking kanji. This is where learning to recognize kanji radicals will come in handy as well as writing practice or calligraphy class.On the test, there are 8 of these questions.Try to answer each question in about 20 to 30 seconds. That's around a minute for this test or 4 minutes for the real test.)100

(Sticky Note comment Mac5/29/2011 7:28:27 PMThese are textually-defined expressions or collocations. Basically they are testing you on if you know the correct verb or noun to use in a given expression orphrase. For the N5 level, pictures are sometimes used as you can see.On the test, there are 10 of these questions.Try to answer each question in about 40 to 50 seconds. That's around a minute and a half (1:30) for this test or around 7.5 minutes for the actual exam.)101

N5....(....)

(Sticky Note comment Mac5/29/2011 7:30:49 PMThese are the paraphrase questions. Here they will give you a sentence and you have to choose the sentence that has the most similar meaning. Usually at this level they are testing the definition of a particular word. In the example they are testing to see if you know the meaning of ....and ... in the context of a sentence.There are 5 of these questions on the real exam.Try to answer the questions in 40 to 50 seconds or a little over a minute and ahalf (1:30) for this exam. On the real exam, it should take you around 4.5 minutes.)102

(Sticky Note comment Mac5/28/2011 8:34:33 PMThis is the start of the grammar section. In this section you will be tested onchoosing the correct form to put in the blank. This is where paying attention toparticles and verb endings in your grammar books will pay off.There are 16 of these questions on the test.Aim for about 30 seconds a piece on these questions. That's about a minute on this exam or 8 minutes on the real thing.)104

N5....(..)......

(Sticky Note comment Mac5/29/2011 8:34:08 PMThese are the scrambled sentences or "sentence composition" questions. Here youhave to place the 4 parts of the sentence in order. The answer you put on your answer sheet is whatever part goes on the star. In the example, this is the partlabeled '4' - ..I recommend practicing a few of these before you get into the exam, because mostpeople don't think of the composition of sentences in this way. Pay attention to which particles should go first and what particles link to other parts of thesentence.There are 5 of these questions on the test.Try to finish each question in a minute and a half. That's about 3 minutes for this exam and around 7.5 minutes on the real test.)105

(Sticky Note comment Mac5/29/2011 7:35:39 PMThese are 'text grammar' questions. They test your ability to use the correct grammar in the context of a text passage. Some grammar points or key vocabulary needs context in order for you to know which one to use.Pay attention to the sentences that come before and after the blank. They will provide clues as to what needs to fit into the space.There are 5 of these questions on the test.Try to finish each question in about a minute and a half (1:30). Try to completethis whole section in around 9 minutes (on this exam and the real exam).)107

N5....(..)......

(Sticky Note comment Mac5/29/2011 7:34:52 PMThis is the first of the reading questions. These are the short passages. Each passage is around 80 characters. You will have one question per passage.The question will usually be about one fact in the passage. Read carefully for tricks, for example one sentence might change the meaning of another so be sure to read each sentence and not just hunt for the information.There are 3 of these questions on the test (3 passages with 3 questions each)Try to give yourself around 3 minutes for each of these. So on this exam about 3minutes total and about 9 minutes on the real exam.)109


12/23

N5....(..)......

(Sticky Note comment Mac5/29/2011 7:33:57 PMThese are the medium passage questions. The passage is around 250 characters. There is only one passage with two questions. Read the questions first before going into the passage so you know what you are looking for. Don't read the answersthough.This practice exam is exactly like the real test, 2 questions.Give yourself around 3 minutes for each of these questions, so about 6 minutes total for this section on this exam and the real test.)110

(Sticky Note comment Mac5/28/2011 8:36:09 PMThis is the one information retrieval question on the test. Be sure to read thequestion and any extra information than scan the piece of information for the correct answer. You definitely don't need to read everything in this section. Do look out for restrictions and limitations that might change the answer though.This exam is exactly like the test, both have 1 question and 1 passage.Give yourself about 5 minutes to answer this one (or much less). This should befairly easy to answer quickly, so it is typically a good place to make up for lost time.)112

(Sticky Note comment Mac5/28/2011 8:36:27 PMThese are task-based listening questions. You'll be asked a question about the pictures presented. The whole conversation will be about the task, listen for tricks and changes though. One sentence could change the answer completely, so youneed to listen to everything.There are 7 of these questions on the real exam.)115

(Sticky Note comment Mac5/28/2011 8:37:10 PMThese are quick response questions. As you can see there is nothing written in the test booklet. Instead, you'll be given a statement first and then you must choose the most appropriate response to the statement. It could be a question andyou have to choose the answer, or it could be a common response to the statement(e.g. A:... ... B: ... .....)These can be a bit scary, because there is nothing written in the test booklet.Be sure to take simple notes (in English, Japanese, or whatever is the absoluteeasiest)It can be easy to get distracted during this part of the test, so remember to stay focused and answer quickly so you are ready for the next question.There are 6 of these on the real test.)(Sticky Note comment Mac5/28/2011 8:31:43 PMThe listening section is often the easiest for people living in Japan (almost laughably easy). Those outside of Japan will be challenged a little more, but it is still one of the easier sections of the exam.)
