What is JLPT N1?

JLPT N1 is the highest level of the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test. At this level the vocabulary is largely written language: the formal Sino-Japanese compounds of editorials and academic papers, plus the idioms and nuanced adverbs that native speakers use without thinking.

To pass N1, you need to know around 10,000 vocabulary words and 2,000 kanji. This free quiz covers 140 of the words that separate N1 from N2 across 4 categories: nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs/expressions. None of them repeat the words in our N5, N4, N3 or N2 quizzes.

๐Ÿ’ก How to use this quiz effectively

  • Coming from N2? Go straight to "All" mode โ€” N1 is about breadth, so find the holes first
  • Adverbs are the highest-value category here. Words like ใ‚ใชใŒใก, ใ‹ใ‚ใ†ใ˜ใฆ and ๆฆ‚ใ—ใฆ routinely decide N1 grammar and reading questions
  • Many N1 verbs are written-language only โ€” you will read ไฟƒใ™ and ่ฌ›ใ˜ใ‚‹ far more often than you will say them. Recognition matters more than production
  • Watch the near-synonyms: ็ทปๅฏ† and ็ถฟๅฏ†, ๆฆ‚ใ—ใฆ and ็ทใ˜ใฆ. The explanation notes where each one is actually used
  • Try the same category multiple times โ€” questions are randomized each round
  • Scoring 90%+ on "All" mode means your vocabulary is in N1 range
