Q1 · Why the chosen option was wrong

In the CN design this catches readers guessing from the kanji 曖 ("dim"). That is a Chinese-L1 trap and has no real English-L1 counterpart. For English speakers it is mostly a filler option; anyone who picks it is probably guessing outright rather than making a pattern error. No tag assigned.

SAMPLE — generated by answering option 1 on every question. Not a real user's result.

The problem

N2 points are lost mostly to trap patterns and to interference from Chinese — yet most candidates cannot see which section they lose points in, or why.

How the diagnosis works

  1. Answer 20 questions
  2. Instant snapshot on screen, right after you submit
  3. Per-question reasons and your mistake patterns
  4. Detailed diagnosis follow-up by email (within 48 hours)
  5. The study system targets your weak points

What you pay for

The free 20 questions are the diagnosis entry that shows you the problems. The paid editions are the system for fixing them (408 questions, mistake SRS, variants, listening in three tiers, mocks, re-diagnosis).

An N2-only, one-time-purchase system specialized in diagnosing mistakes caused by Chinese interference.

Honesty note

These are original practice questions, not past exam papers — the JLPT never publishes past papers. Difficulty is calibrated by simulated-learner analysis against official sample questions; treat any score as an estimate, not a guarantee.
