What the JLPT N1 tests

The N1 tests language knowledge (vocabulary and grammar), reading and listening. They are scored as three parts. Language knowledge and reading are one 110-minute sitting, then comes listening. Out of 180, you pass with a total of at least 100 and every part at or above its minimum:

Part	Score	Minimum
Language knowledge	0–60	19
Reading	0–60	19
Listening	0–60	19

How it works

Daily set: a short mixed set of vocabulary, grammar and reading each day.
By question type: drill one format, such as sentence order (★) or information retrieval.
Explanations: after each answer, why the right option is right and why each wrong one is wrong, with a link to the lesson that teaches the point — and an AI explanation of the option you picked.
Review list: questions you miss, mark “I don’t know”, or flag “I guessed” after getting right come back the same day, after 3 days and after 7 days, until you get them right.

Questions

Is it free?: Yes — no ads and no sign-up.
How close is it to the real JLPT?: Item types, layout and difficulty follow the real N1; there's no furigana, as on the test. All questions are original, not past papers.
Is there listening?: Yes. Play the recording (as often as you like), answer, then read the transcript with furigana and a translation, and replay any line on its own.
Want a timed run?: Take the N1 mock test: the real structure and timing, with an estimated score.
