Join thousands of language learners using PrepMyJapanese to master kanji, drill grammar points, and complete authentic full-length timed mock tests.
Strict official time limits so you build stamina and pace for test day.
Official IRT-modeled sectional scoring and clear pass/fail thresholds.

How JLPT exam centers work in Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, New York, London, Delhi, and more — registration differs by country, room rules barely do, and your voucher beats any blog address list.

The JLPT minimum passing score is a total out of 180 plus a floor in every section. N5 needs 80, N4/N2 need 90, N3 needs 95, N1 needs 100 — and one weak section can still fail you.
How many kanji for each JLPT level — about 100 for N5, 300 for N4, 650 for N3, 1,000 for N2, and 2,000 for N1 — plus what “knowing” them means on a multiple-choice exam.
Listening is worth one-third of your JLPT total at every level, the audio plays once, and 19/60 is a hard pass floor. Here are the question formats and a training plan.
N4 vs N3 Japanese: vocabulary and kanji roughly double, reading becomes its own scored section, and the pass mark rises to 95. Here’s how to choose which level to sit.
The complete JLPT N5 grammar syllabus as a working checklist — particles, verb forms, adjectives, and the sentence patterns the exam actually tests, with examples.
A week-by-week JLPT N5 study plan covering kana, core vocabulary, grammar, listening, and mock exams — built for about an hour of study per day over 12 weeks.
