JLPT N3 requires approximately 3,750 vocabulary items and 650 kanji. At this level, learners are expected to understand the general meaning of newspaper headlines and everyday written notices. Kanji study should prioritise Grade 4–5 Joyo kanji and compound words formed from known kanji. Vocabulary expansion focuses on abstract nouns (feelings, opinions, social concepts), formal register vocabulary, and connective expressions used in written Japanese.
