Question 1

What resources did Ari no Yume use to study for JLPT N1?

Accepted Answer

I used a mix of textbooks, apps, mock exams, and immersion. On the textbook side, I rotated through series like 日本語総まとめ, TRY!, よくわかる, 新完全マスター, and some targeted drill books. For apps and practice, I leaned on Bunpo, 日本語の森, Migii, and Todai, and then I paired all of that with real Japanese like NewsPicks and 日経新聞.

Question 2

Which JLPT N1 grammar resources did you use?

Accepted Answer

For grammar I used Bunpo (N1 level) and multiple books, including 日本語総まとめ文法N1, TRY! N1 文法から伸ばす日本語, and よくわかるN1の文法テキスト. I also used the 日本語の森 app for grammar practice, depending on what phase I was in. I like having both structured explanations and quick practice so I can cycle between understanding and application.

Question 3

What did you use for JLPT N1 reading practice (読解)?

Accepted Answer

Reading was a big focus, so I used several dedicated resources: 日本語の森 app 読解, 日本語総まとめN1 読解, 新完全マスターN1読解, and とりあえず日本語能力試験対策 N1 読解. I also did mock exams to train pacing and stamina. And outside of “JLPT reading,” I kept up immersion with things like NewsPicks and 日経新聞.

Question 4

What apps helped you prepare for JLPT N1?

Accepted Answer

The main apps I mentioned were Bunpo (for grammar), 日本語の森 (for vocab/kanji/reading/listening/grammar and mock tests), Migii, and Todai — Easy Japanese for mock exams. I like apps because they make it easier to keep momentum on busy days. They’re not a replacement for immersion, but they’re great for consistent reps.

Question 5

How did you study JLPT N1 vocabulary and kanji?

Accepted Answer

For vocab I used resources like よくわかるN1合格テキスト〈語彙〉 and drill-style practice like 日本語パワードリルN1文字・語彙. I also mentioned books like 15歳までに知っておきたい言葉1800 and N1単語3000 for building breadth. For kanji specifically, I used the 日本語の森 app 漢字 alongside the more test-focused materials.

Question 6

What did you use for JLPT N1 listening practice (聴解)?

Accepted Answer

For listening I used 日本語の森 app 聴解 as part of my structured prep. But I also think immersion matters a lot here, so I included real Japanese content in my routine too. The goal for me was training both “JLPT listening” and everyday comprehension.

Question 7

Which mock exams did you use for JLPT N1?

Accepted Answer

I used JLPTリアル模試 N1 and also did mock-exam practice through apps like Todai and 日本語の森 (模試). Mock exams were important for timing, endurance, and spotting weak areas fast. They helped me turn “I kind of know this” into “I can do this under pressure.”
