Read full descriptionHide full description
Close the word list. Open the exam-sized questions. Through December 6, today's subject is the first thing you see. 「日本語能力試験対策」(short name: JLPTドリル) drills JLPT N2 and N1 in the same item types used on test day: kanji readings, usage, word order, original reading passages, and listening you hear before you choose. About 1,200 original items, each with an explanation. Try it free: switch levels, see the next test date, build a plan, open jlpt.jp samples in Safari, plus 15 vocab / 10 grammar / 1 reading passage / 3 listening / 1 mock / 6 cards at that level. Listening waits until you play the clip. Section mocks use the official time guide (scores are a guide, not an official score). Missed items stay in a list; three correct answers in a row mark an item mastered. Lecture cards cover about 4,700 words. Only cards that have an example can be heard in a female or male voice (synthesized, not the exam recording). A one-time 680-yen unlock per level opens every item, unlimited mocks, cards and missed questions. Unlocking N2 does not unlock N1. UI: Japanese / 简体中文 / 繁體中文 / English / 한국어 / Tiếng Việt. Stems, choices and transcripts stay Japanese. No account, no ads, no subscription, no cloud AI. Downloadable outside Japan. Unofficial study material. Not from the Japan Foundation or JEES. Eligibility in Japan follows JEES. You cannot sit N1 and N2 on the same day. Sources: form notes on jlpt.jp, the Jōyō kanji list, public JEES pages. Past exam papers are not included.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: N3文字 at none against JLPT N1 N2 Prep's 2. N3文字 also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.2 vs 17.0). JLPT N1 N2 Prep's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 43 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
