Japanese Language Proficiency Test (N2-N5) Vocabulary95

The Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is an international standardized examination for non-native speakers of Japanese. It is divided into five levels: N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5, with N1 being the most proficient level and N5 being the least proficient. The JLPT tests a variety of language skills, including vocabulary, grammar, reading, and listening. The number of vocabulary words tested at each level varies, but in general, candidates for the N2 level are expected to know about 6,000 words, candidates for the N3 level are expected to know about 3,000 words, and candidates for the N4 and N5 levels are expected to know about 1,000 words.
