Method

A mock test is a diagnostic, not a rehearsal

The most common mistake people make with practice tests is treating the score as the point. It isn't. A score tells you one number; the paper underneath it tells you which grammar patterns you have half-learned, which kanji you recognise but cannot read, and whether your listening collapses when the speaker changes their mind mid-sentence.

Both the JLPT and JFT-Basic have sectional minimums. On the JLPT you must score at least 19 out of 60 in every scoring section regardless of your total, which means a candidate can score well above the pass mark overall and still fail. That is why the per-section table on your results screen matters more than the percentage above it.

So: sit the test once, cold and timed. Read every explanation. Write down thepatterns you missed rather than the questions. Then leave it two weeks before retaking — a test you half-remember measures your memory, not your Japanese.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are these mock tests really free?
Yes — all of them, in full, with explanations. There is no account, no paywall and no email capture. We do not ask for anything before showing you your score.
Which test should I start with?
If you are applying for a Specified Skilled Worker visa, start with the JFT-Basic test. If you are studying Japanese more generally, start one level below where you think you are — most people overestimate by exactly one level, and a comfortable pass tells you far less than a near-miss.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The tests run in any modern browser on phone, tablet or desktop. Progress is saved locally so you can close the tab and resume later.
How often are new questions added?
New practice sets are added as they are written and checked. The fastest way to hear about them is the RSS feed, which also carries the study guides.
