💡 Bago ang araw ng exam sa caregiving, 3 bagay na madalas ikatitisod
Ang tanong na madalas naming naririnig sa support desk ng CarryUp ay, "Anong parte ng exam ang pinakamahirap talaga?" Hindi ito tungkol sa "tamang sagot," kundi sa tatlong bagay na madalas hindi inaasahan ng mga tao.
Ang caregiving skills test (kaigo gino hyoka shiken) ay may 40 tanong sa written test at 5 tanong sa practical (hands-on) test. Ang average pass rate ay 60-70% sa bawat pagkakataon. Ang caregiving Japanese test (kaigo nihongo hyoka shiken) naman ay may around 80% pass rate. Kailangan mo rin ng JLPT N4 o mas mataas, o kaya pumasa sa Japan Foundation Japanese Basic Test (A2 level).
3 bagay na madalas ikatitisod
1) Huling pagmemorya ng mga terminolohiya
Mga salita tulad ng "taii henkan" (pagpapalit ng posisyon), "seishiki" (paglilinis ng katawan), "enge" (paglunok) — madalas hindi masyadong binibigyang priyoridad ang pag-memorya ng mga ito kasi "puwede naman i-cram bago ang exam." Pero sa practical test, kailangan mong gamitin ang mga term na ito habang nagde-demonstrate ng galaw — kaya kung hindi ka pamilyar dito, mas mahirap tumugon nang mabilis.
2) Kulang sa practice partner para sa practical test
5 lang ang tanong sa practical, pero kailangan mong ipakita ang tamang paraan sa loob ng limitadong oras. Kung wala kang kasamang nagpe-practice, madali kang mahihirapan sa timing at sa tamang pagkakasunod-sunod ng mga hakbang, kahit alam mo naman ang teorya.
3) Bilis ng pakikinig sa Japanese test
Ang caregiving Japanese test ay may mas mataas na pass rate (80%) kumpara sa skills test (60-70%), pero madalas naming naririnig sa support desk na "alam ko naman ang salita, pero hindi ko na-catch dahil sobrang bilis." Ang JLPT N4 level ay hindi pa nangangahulugang komportable ka na sa bilis ng usapan sa totoong workplace.
Paano ito makakaapekto sa buhay mo
Tungkol sa kalusugan mo habang naghahanda (Health)
Kung huli kang nagsimulang mag-review ng terminolohiya at mag-practice, madalas ang resulta ay puyat at stress sa mga huling linggo bago ang exam. Mas mainam na hatiin ang paghahanda sa mahabang panahon, kaysa i-cram lahat sa isang buwan.
Tungkol sa career mo pagkatapos (Ambition)
Ang caregiving skills test ay hindi lang para makapasok sa Japan — ito rin ang pundasyon para sa mas malalim na kaalaman kapag target mo na ang Kaigo Fukushishi national exam (national certification para sa caregiver sa Japan) sa hinaharap. Kung solid ang pag-unawa mo sa terminolohiya mula sa simula, mas madali kang makakasunod sa training sa totoong workplace.
Ang pananaw ng CarryUp
Sa CarryUp support desk, madalas naming naririnig ang "hindi ko alam kung paano mag-practice mag-isa." Ang totoo, ang practical test ay mas madaling ihanda kapag may kasamang nagre-review — hindi lang sa pagbasa ng textbook. Kung gusto mong malaman kung anong mga terminolohiya ang dapat mong unang pag-aralan, o kung paano mag-practice ng practical test nang may partner, kausapin mo kami sa CarryUp. 💛

💡 Before your caregiving exam day, 3 things that often trip people up
The question we hear most at CarryUp's support desk is, "Which part of the exam is actually the hardest?" It's not about getting the "right answer" — it's about three things people often don't expect.
The caregiving skills test (kaigo gino hyoka shiken) has 40 written questions and 5 practical (hands-on) questions. The average pass rate is around 60-70% each time. The caregiving Japanese test (kaigo nihongo hyoka shiken) has around an 80% pass rate. You also need JLPT N4 or higher, or a pass on the Japan Foundation Japanese Basic Test (A2 level).
3 things that often trip people up
1) Terminology you start memorizing too late
Words like "taii henkan" (changing position), "seishiki" (body cleansing), "enge" (swallowing) — people often don't prioritize memorizing these because "I can cram before the exam." But in the practical test, you need to use these terms while demonstrating movements — so if you're not familiar with them, it's harder to respond quickly.
2) Not enough practice partners for the practical test
There are only 5 practical questions, but you need to show the correct method within a limited time. Without someone to practice with, it's easy to struggle with timing and the correct order of steps, even if you know the theory.
3) Listening speed in the Japanese test
The caregiving Japanese test has a higher pass rate (80%) than the skills test (60-70%), but at the support desk we often hear, "I knew the word, but I couldn't catch it because it was too fast." JLPT N4 level doesn't automatically mean you're comfortable with the speed of real workplace conversation.
How this connects to your life
About your health while preparing (Health)
If you start reviewing terminology and practicing late, the result is often lost sleep and stress in the final weeks before the exam. It's better to spread preparation over a longer period than to cram everything into one month.
About your career afterward (Ambition)
The caregiving skills test isn't just for entering Japan — it's also the foundation for deeper knowledge when you aim for the Kaigo Fukushishi national exam (Japan's national certification for care workers) in the future. If your understanding of terminology is solid from the start, it's easier to keep up with training at your actual workplace.
CarryUp's perspective
At CarryUp's support desk, we often hear, "I don't know how to practice by myself." The truth is, the practical test is easier to prepare for with someone reviewing alongside you — not just by reading a textbook. If you want to know which terms to learn first, or how to practice the practical test with a partner, talk to CarryUp. 💛

💡 介護の技能試験、本番までに知っておきたい「つまずきポイント」3つ
CarryUpの相談窓口でよく聞かれるのは、「試験のどの部分が一番大変ですか」という質問です。「正解が分かるかどうか」ではなく、多くの人が予想していない3つのポイントがあります。
介護技能評価試験は、学科試験40問と実技試験5問で構成されています。合格率は毎回およそ60~70%です。介護日本語評価試験は、合格率がおよそ80%です。このほか、日本語能力試験(JLPT)N4以上、または国際交流基金日本語基礎テストA2への合格も必要です。
つまずきやすい3つのポイント
1)専門用語を覚え始めるのが遅い
「体位変換」「清拭」「嚥下」などの言葉は、「試験直前に詰め込めばいい」と後回しにされがちです。しかし実技試験では、動作を実演しながらこうした言葉を使う場面があり、慣れていないと素早く対応しにくくなります。
2)実技試験の練習相手がいない
実技は5問だけですが、決められた時間内に正しい手順を見せる必要があります。一緒に練習する相手がいないと、理論は分かっていても、時間配分や手順の順番でつまずきやすくなります。
3)介護日本語試験の聞き取りの速さ
介護日本語評価試験は、技能試験(60~70%)より合格率が高め(約80%)ですが、相談窓口では「単語は知っているのに、速すぎて聞き取れなかった」という声をよく聞きます。JLPT N4レベルでも、実際の職場の会話の速さに慣れているとは限りません。
これは、あなたの生活にどう関わるか
準備中の体調について(健康)
専門用語の復習や練習を始めるのが遅いと、試験直前の数週間で寝不足やストレスがたまりやすくなります。1ヶ月に詰め込むより、長い期間に分けて準備するほうがよいでしょう。
その後のキャリアについて(将来・キャリア)
介護技能評価試験は、日本に来るためだけのものではありません。将来、介護福祉士国家試験を目指すときの、より深い知識の土台にもなります。最初から専門用語をしっかり理解していれば、実際の職場での研修にもついていきやすくなります。
CarryUpの視点
CarryUpの相談窓口でよく聞くのは、「一人でどう練習すればいいか分からない」という声です。実技試験は、教科書を読むだけでなく、一緒に確認してくれる相手がいたほうが準備しやすいものです。どの専門用語から覚えればいいか、実技試験をどう練習相手と練習すればいいか知りたい人は、CarryUpに相談してください。💛
