What’s the deal with N5 Kanji and what the test will actually contain?

I've been studying Kanji in prep for the N5/N4 JLPT test, multiple sites seem to allude to the N5 level only containing a pool of ~150 Kanji but every time I try a mock test it has the first half comprising of the usual suspects. Then I start seeing things like 終, 服 and 着.

Will an official JLPT N5 throw curveballs like this or are the general information points wrong/out of date on what to expect?
