View Full Version : Awkward JLPT questioning?

Hey guys, I was thinking about taking the JLPT lv.3 this year, but i figured i should look up some past exams online first (starting from lv.4 and going up) but there was this question on the exam that made me wonder...

ドアにカレンダーがはって____

1.なります
2.います
3・します
4.あります

Personally i'd go for あります but this test is otherwise so painfully simple, i really feel like they wanted います (which wouldn't be incorrect either).
Not that "~てあります" is hard but rather it felt out of place with the rest of this test to have it there, it really felt like the kind of place where they'd have a ~ています question.

What do you guys think?
If i had chosen the one i thought over the one they probably wanted, would they take that into consideration?

Thanks

あります is the correct answer. The actor in the case of the verb 貼る would be a person, not the calendar itself, so カレンダーがはっています would not be correct.

Thanks

The tests are graded by machines, and only one choice counts as the correct answer, so no.

Thanks very much!

It just felt so out of place compared to the rest of the questions, i was overthinking it.

The answers have been posted up the day after the test anyways ^^
We should receive the results soon I heard. I hope my good feeling back then wasn't wrong...when I said I only had 3 months of Japanese, the guys around me started looking at me in a weird way,..
