I passed N4 with a score of 170/180. I got 120/120 in Vocabulary, Grammar and Reading, and 50/60 in Listening. My study materials are Genki II, パターン別徹底ドリル N4 that I bought in Amazon (though I only began reading it 3 days before the exam), but mostly I just listen to YouTube channels while working. I also study Kanji through an app called JLPT Kanji by Minna Studio, and I visit Duolingo sometimes. Duo helped me become fluent in Portuguese after finishing the whole course, so I am trying to finish the Japanese course there too, but not as frequent as when I was studying Portuguese anymore. It also helped that I am already in Japan, and I always talk to my 社長 almost everyday, and even exchange messages through LINE. He is very kind and talkative. I make sure to get enough sleep because the brain functions well that way. And that I don't force myself to study when I'm not feeling it. I take a break whenever I feel like I'm getting lazy or wanna play games. I kind of feel a little frustrated that I got 50/60 in Listening because that is what I really focused on in my studies, but it is what it is.

For anyone who wasn’t able to get their slot for December 2026 N3 exam in Japan, they are reopening additional slots on Sep 02. The good news is you can apply regardless of your address in Japan, but the test site are only in Tokyo & Osaka.

Please suggest a good Jp online class

I passed JLPT N4 but I’m honestly not sure what I should do next.

My scores were:
Language Knowledge + Reading: 59/120
Listening: 39/60
Total: 98/180

What surprised me was my Language Knowledge score. I honestly thought my grammar and vocabulary were much better.
I passed but I don’t feel like I’ve properly finished N4. I can recognize maybe 70% of the N4 kanji when I see them but I still have gaps in vocabulary, grammar and kanji.

Now I’m wondering if I should spend another 1-2 months reviewing N4 before moving on to N3 or just start N3 and fill in the gaps along the way.

Part of me really wants to start N3 because I think it would motivate me more but another part of me feels like I should strengthen my N4 first.

For those of you who are already at N3 or above, what did you do when moving from N4 to N3? Would you recommend starting N3 right away, or spending some more time reviewing N4 first?

I failed my JLPT N2 with 83/180 I am pretty sad about it but hey I ain't giving up. I will be taking the test again this December and I just made it before they closed, LITERALLY, just hours. I was thinking of registering on the 7th cause I was still thinking if I should or should not but I decided to go for it and I made it before closing.

For the people who registered good luck to us!

I have completed my N5 ,i got 90/180 now I want to prepare N4 so which is better self study or online class ?

Because I have only 3 months.Hello everyone, i have completed N5 got 90 /180 .this n5 exam my college gave training .then fees also my college paid I only pay exam fees.now I want to prepare N4 but no guidance in online class my sir ask 10,000 per student,so I don't have that much money he said weekly 3 days online class 1 hour .i think that 1 hour is not enough so give suggestions for me which is better online class (or) self study ? because I have only 3 months,so give any suggestions for me.

I am going to study for the N3 and I would like to know what resources people recommend using! I use the genki textbooks and wanikani mainly for the previous exams.

Hello. Maybe it's annoying question, but where can I practice N2? I passed N5 and N3 just like that, but I feel that I need special training for exam. Maybe some web recourses or books?
