JLPT N4 exam

Japanese Language
1

Hello everyone,

I would like to attend the exam for JLPT N4 in July. I am currently level 14 in Wanikani so I will be past level 16 until July.
My practice is like to do a Wanikani session when I wake up, and one ine the evening (45mins a day roughly). I also use Anki with the Core6k set to 5 new words a day.
I have started working a bit with the Genki book LVL 1 and I listen to japanese podcasts for around 3-5h / week. And finally, I recently started to read japanese book for beginners with furigana.

I think that I should feel ready for the JLPT exam N4, but I don’t feel like it.

Is there any ressource you would recommend to be well prepared for that exam ?
I understood that the exam is also bit special to get used to.

I would appreciate any recommandation you have regarding that exame and my learning journey.

thank you very much :slight_smile:

Sounds to me like you’ve got your bases covered. You’re studying vocab and grammar. You’re reading native material for bonus exposure to words that might not come up in the textbook. You’re even practicing your listening. Not much more I can think of to add to that.

I would do practice jlpt tests and practice jlpt questions. Also familiarize yourself with the test format eg the different question types, the number of each type of question , and the time you have to complete each section. Also, be sure to bring a non digital wrist watch with you to the exam. Some places (not all) don’t display the time in the testing room, nor do they give you updates on how much time has passed. They just tell you time is up, and you need to stop without any warning. I’ve used this strategy and it helped me pass the N4, N3, and N2

I do not think just Genki I will be enough? I heard after II, but do not quote me on it,

There are sample questions on the JLPT website and probably more elsewhere on the Internet.

Thank you very much for your answers. I will practice some jlpt tests and mark the lessons in the Genki book where I struggle a bit, so I can come back to them often. I also have a bit of trouble with conjugaison globally, so I think I will buy the Genki conjugaison app and practice.

Thanks again =)
