It is important to study the previous JLPT exams. I’ve included 2 photos. One from a previous N3 exam and another is news that Todaii rates as N3. To me these look like two completely different levels of knowledge.
I’m saying this to show you that just because something says “N3” does not mean it will look like that on the exam. JLPT specifically puts plenty of grammar and vocabulary at this level while Todaii says N3 because a large percentage of its words come from N3 exams. JLPT has different goals than the news that Todaii shows you so it makes sense.
I thought I’d share this because there’s still a few months left before the December exam. You’ll want to be able to read and understand the JLPT passage fairly quickly too.
(If I’m not allowed to post images from JLPT I’m sorry and I’ll remove it!)
