Questions about JLPT N2 vocabulary

How many words do you need for JLPT N2?

There is no official number. This list has 1,609 words at JLPT N2, and 4,375 counting every level up to it. Study lists differ in size because each one is compiled independently.

Is this the official JLPT N2 list?

No. The JLPT has not published vocabulary lists since 2010. This list builds on the most widely used community lists, with every reading checked against a dictionary and duplicate spellings removed.

What is the fastest way to learn these words?

Test yourself rather than re-reading. Trying to recall a word before you see its meaning, then reviewing it again just before you would forget it (spaced repetition), takes far fewer reviews than reading a list over and over.

Level lists based on Jonathan Waller's JLPT resources (tanos.co.uk, CC BY). Readings and meanings checked against JMdict (Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group, CC BY-SA 4.0). The JLPT has not published official vocabulary lists since 2010, so no list, this one included, is official.
