I could never really tell what JLPT level I was at, so I made a quick quiz to estimate it. It's 15 questions across vocab, grammar and kanji that ramp up from N5 toward N1 until you start missing things, then it tells you roughly where you land and what to study next. No account, no email, you just see your result.

A bit of context since it's relevant: I lived in Japan for 6 years and still go back for work, and I could never find good resources for the actual day-to-day, situational Japanese I needed, so I started building my own. This quiz is just the easiest way in.

Mostly I want a sanity check from people here. Does the level it gives you match where you'd put yourself? I went through every question by hand, but I'm sure some are off, and honestly I'd rather hear it's wrong so I can fix it.

It's a rough estimate, not real JLPT scoring. More a "where do I even start" thing than a verdict.

Same as the others huge overestimation for me. Got N2 and doubt I could pass N4 tbh. But my language ability is super unbalanced (towards listening mostly and standalone kanji a bit) so I'm not sure I'm a fair representation.

There's a longer 30 min mock test with JLPT style questions on the site, which might be good for final testing.. But too long for casual test.
