HOW A TEST WORKS

From the first question to your score report

  1. Pick a level and a test

    Choose N5 to N1, then a test. The lobby shows the sections, the time limits and the leaderboard.

  2. Sit the sections in order

    Each section has its own timer. When it reaches zero, the section closes and your answers are handed in.

  3. Get your score report

    See an estimated score for each section and in total, pass or fail, and your rank on the test.

  4. Go over your mistakes

    Check the correct answers. With Pro or Max, Mocchi explains each mistake in your language.

THE EXAM

Official sections and timing at every level

Every mock test follows the structure of the real JLPT: the same sections, in the same order, with the same time limits. You pass when your total reaches the pass mark and every scoring section reaches its minimum, just as on exam day.

Pass marks and section minimums are the official ones. The real JLPT uses scaled scores, so your mock test score is an estimate.

A listening paper with audio

The listening section plays on a fixed schedule with time to answer between questions. As in the exam hall, there is no pause and no replay.

A timer that hands in for you

Each section counts down on its own. When time is up the section is submitted with the answers you have marked, even if you closed the tab.

An estimated 0–180 score

Your report shows each scoring section against its minimum and your total against the official pass mark, with a pass or fail stamp.

Ranked first attempt and leaderboards

Your first sitting of each test is ranked on that test’s leaderboard. Retakes are practice and do not change your rank.

Questions about the JLPT mock tests

Is the JLPT mock test free?

Yes. Test 1 of every level, N5 to N1, is free with a Unihongo account. You get the full timed test, the listening audio, an estimated score with pass or fail, your rank on the leaderboard and the correct answers. Tests 2 to 10, Mocchi’s explanations, the listening transcripts and the weak-area analysis come with Pro or Max.

How long is each mock test?

As long as the real exam: 90 minutes for N5, 115 for N4, 140 for N3, 155 for N2 and 165 for N1, split into the official sections. Each section has its own timer and closes when the time runs out.

Is my mock test score the same as a real JLPT score?

No. It is an estimate on the official 0–180 scale, checked against the official pass mark and section minimums. The real JLPT uses scaled scores, so your result on exam day can be different. Use the estimate to see how close you are to passing and which section needs work.

Does the listening section have audio?

Yes. The listening paper plays its audio on the same kind of schedule as the real test, with time to answer between questions. As on exam day, you cannot pause or replay it, so use headphones and a quiet room.

What happens if I close the tab during a test?

The clock keeps running, as it would in an exam hall. Come back and press Resume to carry on. If a section’s time ran out while you were away, it was handed in with the answers you had marked.

How do the leaderboards work?

Each test has its own leaderboard. Only your first sitting counts, so everyone is ranked on a fresh attempt. Retakes are for practice and do not change your rank.

How many tests are there?

Each level has 10 full mock tests, 50 in all, from N5 to N1. Test 1 of every level is free; Pro and Max open all 50.

Is Unihongo connected to the official JLPT?

No. Unihongo’s mock tests are original practice material. They are not made, endorsed or checked by the Japan Foundation or Japan Educational Exchanges and Services (JEES), which run the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test.
