You choose! Select 10 (quick check), 20 (standard), 30 (thorough), 50 (challenge), or all 101 kanji. Questions are randomly selected each time for a fresh experience.
Start by learning hiragana and katakana, then focus on the 100 N5 kanji. Use spaced repetition (like our Kanji Flash app or Anki decks) for efficient memorization. Practice reading simple sentences, learn basic grammar patterns, and take practice tests regularly to identify weak areas.
The real JLPT N5 requires a total score of 80/180 (about 44%), with minimum sectional scores. On our practice test, aim for 80%+ to feel confident about the kanji portion. Remember — the real test also covers grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and listening.
