About the TASC Japanese Exam

Japanese Level 3 (JPN315114) develops listening, speaking, reading, and writing in modern standard Japanese across three prescribed themes — The Individual, Japanese-speaking Communities, and The Changing World. Learners typically enter after Japanese Foundation Level 2. External assessment combines a short oral interaction with a three-hour written paper covering listening (English responses), reading (English and Japanese responses), and extended writing in Japanese. This 100-question practice bank adapts official criterion knowledge — grammar and particles, verb forms and register, kanji/vocabulary, reading and listening judgment, text-type conventions, culture, and oral/writing strategy — into multiple-choice study items while preserving Japanese script where language skill is tested.

4Prepare oral Theme 1 content (personal world, education, daily life) for 10–12 minutes of interaction, including unfamiliar follow-ups — extend answers beyond yes/no.
