PrepMyJapanese
Authentic scoring breakdowns, sectional floor guides, spaced repetition math, and realistic timed simulations designed for JLPT candidates from N5 to N1.
Take a 15-minute quick diagnostic exam with authentic scoring algorithms. Check your vocabulary, grammar, and listening breakdown before registering for test day.
JLPT SRS (spaced repetition) for vocabulary — how many words per day each level needs, recognition-first card design for a multiple-choice exam, and how to stop leeches and review debt.
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.
Daily spaced repetition algorithm to lock in high-frequency kanji and vocab.
JFT and JLPT are different tests for different goals. JFT-Basic A2 is roughly equivalent to JLPT N4 for the SSW visa (pass score 200+). Choose JFT for a fast SSW timeline; choose JLPT if you need a career credential employers recognize.
Master the complete JLPT N4 grammar syllabus — conditional forms, giving and receiving verbs, passive and causative voices, and high-yield sentence structures.
Master the pivotal JLPT N3 grammar structures — distinguishing nuance between wake, koto, mono, and uchi ni, with real exam distractor breakdowns.
Master Japanese transitive and intransitive verb pairs (jidoushi and tadoushi) with morphological rules, particle pairings (o vs ga), and JLPT test strategies.
Master the 5 JLPT listening task types — Task-Based, Point Comprehension, Summary, Quick Response, and Integrated Comprehension, with proven note-taking systems.
Authentic timed simulations across Language Knowledge, Reading, and Listening. Detailed explanations for every question so you never repeat mistakes.
Master Japanese speed reading techniques for the JLPT — eliminate sub-vocalization, recognize kanji compound clusters, and allocate exam minutes effectively.
Master the complete JLPT N5 vocabulary syllabus — 800 foundational words organized by part of speech, Japanese counters, everyday verbs, and adjectives.
The complete roadmap to passing JLPT N2 — overcoming the intermediate plateau, native reading immersion, business Japanese, and a 6-month study timeline.
Demystifying the JLPT scaled scoring algorithm — Item Response Theory (IRT), pass marks, sectional thresholds (19/60 rule), and score percentiles.
The JLPT has no prerequisites, but skipping levels carries huge failure risks due to sectional scoring floors. Here is the math of jumping levels and how to decide.
N1 pushes vocabulary past 10,000 words, covers all 2,136 Joyo kanji, and raises the pass mark to 100. Here is why the jump from N2 to N1 is the hardest in the series.
