December 6 exam: see today whether you'll finish in time. Pick minutes a day — Shikken plans the words.
Shikken — JLPT vocabulary and kanji from N5 to N1, planned up to your exam day.
Tell Shikken your level, your exam date and how many minutes a day you have. It works out how many new words to learn each day and shows the date you'll finish — so you know whether you'll make it in time.
LEARN WORDS THE WAY THE EXAM ASKS
The JLPT is all multiple choice. In Shikken a word counts as learned only when you pick it out in a sentence among similar options — like the exam's word-in-context questions. Kanji reading questions (漢字読み) offer look-alike readings: voiced, long and doubled sounds.
WRITE IT TO REMEMBER
• New word: reading, meaning, an example sentence — and you trace each kanji stroke by stroke.
• Reviews: draw the word into the gap in a sentence. Stroke order doesn't matter: pick your character from the candidates. Kana parts go in with the keyboard.
• Each word comes back on the day you're about to forget it (FSRS spaced repetition).
DON'T RELEARN WHAT YOU KNOW
Mark the words you already know, and your plan covers only what's new.
A PLAN FOR EVERY DAY
Pick minutes a day and see your finish date. Your day fits the minutes you picked: when there are more reviews, Shikken holds back new words instead of making the day longer.
READINGS FROM THE DICTIONARY
Readings and meanings come from the JMdict dictionary. Audio is spoken from the dictionary reading in kana, not guessed from the kanji.
