Question types in Practice Test 1

問題15 questions

Task-based Comprehension

課題理解

What it tests: Following a situation and identifying what someone should do next.
Listen for: The goal, completed actions, sequence words, and the final decision.
Best approach: Read the choices first. Cross out actions that already happened, then confirm the next action when the question is repeated.

The question is heard before and after the conversation. These practice tests use four printed text or picture choices.

問題26 questions

Point Comprehension

ポイント理解

What it tests: Finding one requested fact, reason, condition, time, place, or choice.
Listen for: The exact detail requested in the opening question, plus corrections such as ‘not Tuesday, Wednesday.’
Best approach: Turn the opening question into a target before the dialogue starts. Ignore interesting details that do not answer that target.

The question is heard before and after the conversation. These practice tests use four printed text or picture choices.

問題35 questions

General Outline Comprehension

概要理解

What it tests: Understanding the speaker’s overall point, opinion, purpose, or conclusion.
Listen for: Repeated ideas, contrast words, the speaker’s attitude, and the final sentence.
Best approach: Do not chase every unknown word. Summarize the message in one short phrase before listening to the choices.

The passage comes first. The question and four choices are audio-only in these practice tests.

問題412 questions

Quick Response

即時応答

What it tests: Responding naturally and immediately to a short utterance.
Listen for: Sentence ending, tense, polarity, social cue, and whether the speaker is asking, inviting, apologizing, or confirming.
Best approach: Predict the type of response before the choices. Eliminate replies that are grammatically possible but socially unnatural.

A short utterance and three responses are audio-only in these practice tests.

問題53 questions

Integrated Comprehension

統合理解

What it tests: Comparing several options from a longer talk and deciding which one a speaker picks.
Listen for: How each option differs, each speaker’s conditions, and the moment someone rules an option out.
Best approach: Note one short feature for each option as it is described. Then match each speaker’s condition to the notes before the question plays.

A longer explanation and discussion come first. The question is heard at the end, with four printed choices in these practice tests.
