JLPT N5 Exam Tips
Time management: The real JLPT N5 gives about 25 minutes for the kanji/vocabulary section. Practice under timed conditions to build speed.
Process of elimination: If unsure, eliminate obviously wrong answers first. On the JLPT, there are always 4 choices per question.
Don't get stuck: Skip difficult questions and return to them later. Every question is worth the same points.
