Hello

When preparing for an exam, you must read specific textbooks covering the topics covered during the test. JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) is no different. To ensure that you perform well on the JLPT N5, a few textbooks cover the exam’s curriculum, which can help you prepare for the exam.

There are included 4 sections:

• Grammar
• Vocabulary and Kanji 
• Reading 
• Listening

And there are 95 questions 

Format for JLPT N5

Vocabulary

Each of the following types usually has a handful of questions.

• Choose the appropriate reading for the underlined kanji.
• You must choose the kanji for the underlined hiragana word 
• Fill in the missing word in a sentence using contextually defined expressions. You need to use the context of the sentence to choose the best answer since more than one word might fit grammatically.
• Find the best word or phrase to replace (with the same meaning) the underlined one.
• Choose the most appropriate sentence to use the given word.

Grammar

The following types have around five questions, similar to the Vocabulary section.

• The grammar form is chosen based on a sentence given to you, and you need to fill in the blanks with the grammar form.
• The sentence is composed of a few consecutive blanks. The blanks represent words or phrases. It is crucial to arrange them correctly.
• There are many questions related to one passage in text grammar. Fill in the blanks in the passage with the appropriate grammatical phrase.

Reading

There is only one reading comprehension section on the test. Then you read the passage and answer questions about it. You will encounter different types of questions below.

• The majority of reading questions fall into the category of comprehension (short, medium, long). Based on the reading, you answer questions. Some passages have one question, while others have multiple questions. There are long passages (1000 words) and short passages (200 words). Passage length and difficulty will vary depending on the level of the JLPT.

• It involves retrieving information about a figure in Japanese and answering questions about it. Graphs or charts were always part of the old JLPT. In all the new tests I have seen or taken, there is some type of advertisement or notice…something you’d typically find at a store or apartment building.

 

Listening

In this section of the JLPT, you are bombarded with questions, one after another, whether you are ready to move forward or not. Keep your focus on the question at hand. When the next question begins, bubble in your answer, even if you aren’t sure of the answer.

• Task-Based Comprehension: The situation is described, and you are asked a question about what follows. In the next step, you listen to the conversation (usually between two people) and are asked the same question again. Answers are written on a page for you to choose from.

• Comprehension Of Key Points: Similar to Task-Based Comprehension, this type of question follows the same flow. Typically, the conversation here is a bit longer, and the question tests your ability to recall details.

• Verbal Expressions: This section is fairly quick. There is an arrow pointing at one person in the picture. The floating arrow should say the phrase you choose. The choices you make are spoken, not written.

• Quick Response: A quick response is what this question is all about. One person says a sentence. Choodecide which response is most appropriate Again, the answers are
