Answers and interpretations for the first and second mock exams

Developed by the popular YouTube channel "Japanese Forest" with 800,000 subscribers, "JLPT N1 Short-Term Pass" has become a bestseller in the Japanese Language Proficiency Test category on Amazon Japan and has achieved the #1 spot in sales of Japanese language textbooks.

This book is composed of four parts: language knowledge (characters and vocabulary), language knowledge (grammar), reading, and listening.

In 'Chapter 1 Language Knowledge (Characters and Vocabulary)', 4,000 words are organized into a vocabulary list.
After memorizing the words, you can solve the four types of problems that appear on the JLPT N1 through 674 practice problems.

In 'Chapter 2 Language Knowledge (Grammar),' we will study the meanings, connection methods, and examples of 130 grammar rules that appear in JLPT N1.
Here, grammar with similar meanings is organized by theme.
It consists of 16 themes in total, and includes practice problems to check the grammar learned in each theme.

In Chapter 3, Reading, we will first learn the techniques for solving reading comprehension problems and then try solving the problems ourselves.
Each problem includes an explanation.

In Chapter 4, Listening Comprehension, you will first learn the techniques for solving listening comprehension problems, and then try solving the problems yourself.
Each problem includes a dialogue script, and the listening audio can be downloaded from the Nexus website or played immediately by scanning the QR code with your smartphone.

Lastly, we have included two mock tests in the same format as the actual JLPT N1.
The last page contains an answer sheet where you can mark your answers, so please tear it off and use it.

The separate volume contains the interpretations of the language knowledge (characters and vocabulary), language knowledge (grammar), reading comprehension, and listening comprehension practice problems, as well as the answers and interpretations for the first and second mock tests, so that you can check them easily and efficiently.

You can also utilize a variety of supplementary materials. You can conveniently memorize vocabulary through the app's vocabulary list, which includes JLPT words, their meanings, example sentences, audio, and more.
By using the check function of the app's vocabulary list, you can review only the words you have not memorized.
You can download the MP3 audio files for free from the Nexus website (nexusbook.com) or play them immediately by scanning the QR code in the book with your smartphone.
