JLPT N4 Preparation Guide, How to Pass with Confidence

Passing JLPT N4 is all about smart preparation, not just hard work. At this level, you need around 300 kanji and 1,500 vocabulary words.

The exam tests grammar, reading, and listening. To pass, create a study routine that covers all areas:

Grammar:

Practice patterns from Minna no Nihongo II and JLPT N4 books.

Vocabulary & Kanji: Revise daily with flashcards (Anki, Quizlet).

Listening: Listen to Japanese podcasts and JLPT past papers.

Mock Tests:

Take at least 3 full tests before exam day.

Tip: Focus on weak areas first, and manage time during the test carefully.
