About this app

A Japanese-language study app for Japan's Second-Class Health Officer (第二種衛生管理者) national exam.

Please note: the interface, the questions and every explanation are in Japanese. Japanese reading ability is required.

■ What it is
180 original practice questions written to the published exam scope and format. Questions based on law are checked against e-Gov, the Japanese government's official legislation database (reflecting the April 2026 amendments).

■ Pass or fail is decided by your weakest subject
The exam requires at least 40% in every subject and 60% overall, so a single weak subject fails you. The app scores you by subject against those same thresholds and names the subject you are short on.

■ An explanation for all five choices
Every one of the five choices carries its own explanation, not just the correct one, so you learn why a choice is wrong rather than memorising the answer.

■ The statute behind each legal question
Questions based on law show the underlying article from e-Gov, so you can verify the explanation against the law itself.

■ Mock exams in the real format
Three subjects: related laws (excluding hazardous work), occupational health (excluding hazardous work) and occupational physiology. A half mock exam of 15 questions and a full mock of 30 questions matching the real exam structure, with a subject-by-subject pass breakdown.

■ About the qualification
The Second-Class Health Officer is a national qualification under Japan's Industrial Safety and Health Act. Workplaces that regularly employ 50 or more workers must appoint a health officer. The second-class licence covers workplaces in industries with little connection to hazardous work, such as information and communications, finance and insurance, and wholesale and retail. Eligibility, exam dates and application procedures can change; always confirm them on the examining body's official site.

■ Offline and private
Android 8.0 or later. Questions are bundled in the app, so you can study without a connection. The app goes online only to receive question corrections and to process a purchase. There is no account to create, and your study record stays on the device.

■ What is free
10 drill questions in total, one half mock exam (15 questions), and 3 days of the auto-play review mode. The free allowance does not reset daily. A single in-app purchase unlocks the rest. It is not a subscription, and there are no ads. See the In-app purchases line on this page for the current amount.

■ Report an error, get the fix without waiting for an update
Errors in a question or explanation can be reported anonymously from inside the app. Confirmed corrections are delivered without an app update, and the correction history is published in the app. No personal account information is collected.

A separate app is available for the First-Class Health Officer exam.
