N5 mock exams

Mock exams that follow the three scoring sections of the JLPT N5: language knowledge (vocabulary and grammar), reading and listening. There are short mini mocks and one longer full mock. Each is a fixed set of questions, so you can retake it and compare.

How the real JLPT N5 is scored

  • Three sections, each scored out of 60: language knowledge, reading, listening.
  • To pass you need 90 out of 180 in total and at least 19 out of 60 in every section.
  • The scores are scaled, so counting right answers does not give your official score.

That is why these mocks show raw correct counts and a simple practice band, never a score out of 60 or 180. The overall band is set by your weakest section. Source: the JLPT results page. Questions are AI-written and checked by a second AI (ChatGPT), not yet by a native speaker.

74 questions: language 40, reading 16, listening 18. Uses questions the mini mocks do not.
