JLPT Preparation Model Study Plan
The graph below illustrates a vacation free twice a week study model (90 minutes on lesson and 90 minutes on homework).
JLPT Preparation Model Study Plan (for N5, 4, 3, and 2) Studying in five days a week instead of two may not necessarily increases the speed of study by 2.5 times. It all depends on
each individual’s Japanese level while it is also time consuming for one to establish its proficiency in grammar and vocabulary.
