What the JLPT N3 tests
The N3 tests language knowledge (vocabulary and grammar), reading and listening. They are scored as three parts. Language knowledge and reading are two sittings, 100 minutes in all, then comes listening. Out of 180, you pass with a total of at least 95 and every part at or above its minimum:
| Part | Score | Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Language knowledge | 0–60 | 19 |
| Reading | 0–60 | 19 |
| Listening | 0–60 | 19 |

74 language knowledge and reading questions in 100 minutes, then 28 listening questions (40 minutes), each recording played once with time to answer after it, as on the day. In the real test's order.
After you submit
- An estimated score for each part, listening included, against its minimum and the pass mark — and whether that would pass.
- Accuracy by item type, and where your time went.
- An explanation for every question, or just the ones you missed.
Scores are estimated from the share of questions right; the real test is equated, so your actual score will differ. Leaving the page for over a minute pauses the clock and marks the attempt informal.
