N5 · N4 · N3 · N2 · N1  ·  Real Past Papers

01 · Question Bank

Every past paper.
Nothing left out.

N5 to N1 — every official past paper.

A shaky foundation makes every technique useless. So we start with the questions themselves.

N5 Basic vocabulary & grammar
N4 Everyday conversation
N3 Everyday topics
N2 Reading news articles
N1 Near-native comprehension

02 · Practice

Open and practice.
No overthinking.

Mix and match by level, type, or count. Five minutes is enough for a full set. Or just hit shuffle and go.

A good tool should disappear. It should make you forget it exists and keep your focus on the questions.

03 · Deep Analysis

Get one wrong.
Actually get it right.

Choosing an answer is just the start. Every question comes with deep, thorough analysis — breaking down grammar logic, sorting through the options that look alike, and revealing the intent behind each question.

It's not about explaining answers. It's about building the judgment to handle this type of question next time. No more guessing.

難航 (nankō) literally means “difficult navigation,” and is used when something is not progressing smoothly. Option 2, 「うまくいっていない」 (umaku itte inai), is the closest match. Note the usage difference between 難航する (to run into difficulty) and 難しい (to be difficult).
Deep Analysis · Grammar Forms
「〜ざるを得ない」 means “to have no choice but to do something.” Compared with 「〜なければならない」, it more strongly suggests resignation or pressure from the situation. This is a common N2 grammar point.

04 · Listening

Listening isn't talent.
It's input.

Most people hit exam day with listening as their weak point — not because their ears are bad, but because they haven't listened enough or carefully enough.

Original audio with full transcripts — from task comprehension to quick response, every question type covered. Listen more, listen closely, listen again.
