I’ve recently discovered that JLPT test centre do not provide headphones to test takers at the time of the exam. Instead, you have to listen to the raw audio through a speak in a large echo’y room. As someone who has spent the entirety of my immersion time listening to Japanese with Sony wireless headphones that have amazing sound quality , I am little worried about how I will perform on the day. I once head a story about a guy who missed a crucial piece of information on the audio tape because someone dropped a pen from which the sound caused interference
Going forward, is it advised that I listen to all Japanese raw (without headphones or devices that amplfy sound)?
