ハーバリスト ハーブ検定1級2級 問題集・試飲対策 on Windows Pc

The goal of "Herbalist" is to go beyond simply providing multiple-choice questions. While many apps only offer four-choice questions, this app provides preparation for the "tasting test" (a practical test where you identify the type of herbal tea after tasting it) conducted in the Level 1 exam, as well as preparation for the "essay-type" questions listed as official exam formats. With 925 questions based on primary sources and a realistic mock exam, plus these two unique features, you can seriously aim to pass the exam with just this one app.

The questions are not simply reprints of past questions, but original mock questions aligned with the exam scope and primary sources. Each question includes explanations and sources, and the "forgetting curve" review function allows you to steadily build your knowledge even during commutes or household chores.

■ For those who:
* Are self-studying and taking the Herb Certification exam for the first time.
* Enjoy herbal teas and crafts and want to learn about them systematically.
* Have difficulty memorizing scientific names and component names.
* Want to check their current abilities with a practice test in the actual exam format.

■ Contents (925 questions, covering 10 subjects)
A total of 925 questions covering the 5 subjects common to Level 2 (basic knowledge / safety and precautions / tea brewing methods / uses / profile) and the 5 subjects added in Level 1 (history / blending techniques / blending with tea / body structure / environment and lifestyle). Each question includes an explanation, source, and memorization hints, and also supports reading the questions aloud. You can "learn by listening" while on the go, or "listen passively" with automatic playback.

■ Switch between Level 2 and Level 1 with one tap
Switch your exam level anytime on the home screen. Level 1 includes the scope of Level 2, so you can build directly from Level 2 preparation to Level 1.

■ Practice Exam Mode
This app features a practice exam mode with subject distribution and time limits tailored to your exam level. The answers are hidden until scoring, mimicking the actual exam format. Since the association publicly states the passing score as a range of "70-80% correct answers," this app uses a safer 80% to determine pass/fail. The practice exam can be paused and resumed; even if you close the app midway, you can resume from where you left off, retaining your structure, answers, and remaining time. You can also print out a mark-sheet format answer sheet and complete the exam that way.

■【Features of this App ①】Preparing for the Level 1 "Tasting Test"
The Level 1 Herb Certification exam includes a tasting test (practical) where you identify the type of herbal tea by tasting it. Multiple-choice question sets alone are insufficient preparation. This app organizes the 20 types of tea covered in the exam—the color of the brewed liquid, the appearance of the tea leaves, the aroma, and the taste—in a way that allows you to match them according to the actual tasting procedure. Especially for easily confused varieties like "peppermint and spearmint," "four types of lemon," "two types of chamomile," and "rosehip and roselle," the app explains how to distinguish them based on a single key characteristic (such as the presence or absence of menthol's cooling sensation or the quality of the acidity). It also includes a "discrimination quiz" where you guess the type based on its characteristics, connecting knowledge with palate memory. This feature is completely free.

■【Features of this app ②】Prepare for written answers
The official question format is "multiple-choice and written answers." Even if you can choose from four options, you can't write a written answer if you can't express it in your own words. The written answer drill (40 questions in total) allows you to write your answers, compare them to the model answers, and self-correct by checking each "scoring point." Writing helps solidify your knowledge of multiple-choice questions as well.

■【Features of this app ③】Fill in the "Medical Records" of 20 Target Varieties
The core of the exam is the 20 target varieties. A dedicated drill is provided that includes questions on the scientific names, family names, and parts used for all 20 varieties. Because it automatically assembles questions from encyclopedia data, there are no gaps in the questions, ensuring that specific species are not covered. The first 10 species for Level 2 are free.

■ "Today's Review" based on the forgetting curve
It records the correctness of questions you've already answered and re-presents them in "Today's Review" when you're starting to forget. It also includes features to make it easy to continue, such as "Today's Question" and "Learning Streak."

■ Learning Mode to Identify Weaknesses
You can repeat questions based on your purpose, such as "Weakness Priority," "Frequently Asked Questions," and "Trick Question Prevention." Your progress can be reviewed with progress graphs, a learning calendar, and achievement badges. If you record "Why I made a mistake (I didn't know/mistaken/misread)" immediately after an incorrect answer, the "Mistake Notebook" will provide tailored solutions based on the reason. The notebook can also be printed.

■ "Number Speed ​​Drill" to Train Difficult-to-Remember Numbers
Includes a high-speed drill (37 questions in total) focusing on easily confused numbers, such as extraction times for each extraction method, blending ratios, and component percentages. You can quickly repeat these questions during spare time.


■ Learn by Comparison, Flashcards, Glossary, and Search
Includes "Learn by Comparison" (20 tables) that place confusing points side-by-side, "Flashcards" (57 cards) in a question-and-answer format, and a "Glossary" (22 terms). All questions can be searched across all sections, and in the final stages, you can use the "Last-Minute Summary" for final preparation and the "Passing Roadmap" to create a study plan.

■ Enjoy "Herbs in Everyday Life" for Free
Separate from exam preparation, there's also a section for enjoying herbs in everyday life. You can search by mood or occasion from a herb encyclopedia of 65 types and an essential oil encyclopedia of 40 types, as well as 60 recipes for handmade cosmetics and crafts, along with introductions to the tools and materials used. To prevent mistakes based on the misconception that "natural is safe," it also includes examples of accidents reported by public institutions. All are free.

■ Study Plan Calculated Backwards from the Exam Date
Setting the exam date displays "Today's Tasks" on the home screen. Based on the remaining days and your learning progress, it automatically selects the most important step you should take now (review, address weaknesses, practice tests, etc.), so you won't waste time wondering "where do I start?"

■ About the "Herb Certification Exam"
The name "Herb Certification Exam" is used by multiple organizations and is not a single nationwide standardized exam. This app is designed primarily based on the "Herb Certification Exam" (Level 1 and Level 2, no eligibility restrictions) of the Japan Herb Therapist Association. While the association has announced that each exam is 50 minutes long, it has not disclosed the number of questions. Therefore, this app uses similar certification exams with clearly defined specifications as a reference. The actual Level 1 exam includes a herbal tea tasting test (practical). While this app's preparation for the tasting test (matching and identifying quizzes based on taste, aroma, and color) is helpful for learning, it is not a substitute for practicing drinking actual teas. Since the format of the tasting test and the scoring of the written questions are not publicly available, these are original materials based on assumptions about the exam scope. Please be sure to check the official website of the administering organization for details on the official exam.

■ About Sources (Links to Official Information Sources)
The questions included are based on official primary sources such as the Japan Medical Herb Association, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's eJIM (Integrated Medical Information Dissemination Site), and the Consumer Affairs Agency. The source is clearly indicated for each question. Primary sources can be found on the following official website:

・Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare eJIM "Integrated Medical Information Dissemination Site"

■ If you notice any errors in the content
Please let us know if you find any errors or unclear points in the content. We will check and correct them in updates as needed.

■ Privacy
Your learning records, progress, and settings are basically saved only on your device. We do not collect personal information such as your name or email address. Only if you turn on "Cloud Automatic Sync" (optional) in the settings screen, data encrypted with a key created from your password will be saved to the operator's sync server (the key to decryption is not sent to the server, so the operator cannot read the content).

■ Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is it a monthly fee? A. No, it's a one-time purchase. You can use it without any additional costs.
Q. Are past questions included? A. We include original practice questions created independently based on primary sources, not actual past questions.
Q. Can I transfer my data if I change devices? A. You can transfer your learning records to a new device using the export/restore function in the settings screen.
Q. Does "Herb Certification" support exams from any organization? A. This is an original question bank designed primarily around the "Herb Certification Exam" of the Japan Herb Therapist Association. The scope and format of questions may differ from those of other organizations' exams.

■ What this app cannot do (we'll be honest):
This app does not handle exam applications or official pass/fail assessments. The question format, scoring, and presence or absence of a tasting test in the mock exam are based on official information from the administering organization and are our own design; they may differ from the actual number of questions, passing criteria, and exam content. Please use this as a first step in your studies, and always refer to the official exam guide from the administering organization for final confirmation.

■ About the app:
This app is one of the original learning app series produced by "App Pharmaceutical." This app is a learning material and does not guarantee passing the exam.

Please use Herbalist for your studies if you are aiming to pass the Herb Certification Exam through self-study, exam preparation, question banking, practice tests, or mock exams.
