About

A free JLPT study site for people living in Japan.

Each paper here is played in the JLPT's own format — timed, marked automatically, with answer explanations and listening scripts.

There is no account and no sign-up. Your answers, scores and progress are stored only in this browser and are never uploaded.

Listening audio plays from Google Drive and the exam diagrams load from the Internet Archive, so those two parts need a connection — and those services see the request, as they would for any embedded file.
