The question counts, the coverage of explanations and the audio lengths above come from counting the data itself. The number and form of questions rest on public exam information and our own independent study. They are not an official standard.

The clock and the answer sheet, always in view.

Exam mode times you. The answer sheet shows at a glance how far you have got.

What we would like you to know first

  • It is not official. We have no link with the organizers of the JLPT and no endorsement from them.
  • It is made with AI. The questions and explanations were written and checked with AI. No native-speaker teacher or real test taker has checked them yet. Mistakes may be found. If you find one, please tell us and we will fix it as quickly as we can.
  • We cannot say the difficulty matches the actual test. It has not yet been tested with data from real test takers.
  • We do not guarantee a pass or a score.
  • There are no ads. We show no learner comments either, as we have no results to show yet.
