Source: Mimi kara Oboeru: Mastering Vocabulary through Auditory Learning – New JLPT N3
* I'm too lazy to type all the words, so I simply scanned the index page. This vocabulary list cover only a 1000 words, which is 50% of the official list. Nevertheless, it's a good start.
Edit: corrected number 44 to ところへ / ところに (without the particle た).
They aren’t going to publish the list to the world anymore, but the list is send to publishers, so they can produce books based on it. In other words, all you need is to get the mock test/reading/listening books by Unicom, mark all the words in it, and you’ve got the words you need to pass N3. Same goes for grammar points (the one I posted above).
[quote author=安努龍 link=topic=885.msg4985#msg4985 date=1276262587] Anyone out there have an N1 list? [/quote] For N1, the list stays the same, but more advanced materials from that list will be tested on, I think.
[quote author=マイケル link=topic=885.msg4986#msg4986 date=1276310781] While that may be true - I'll probably hold out until we can confirm from at least 2 different resources before updating the indices on the site :) [/quote] Looking forward to it. ;)
[quote author=ジャック link=topic=885.msg4990#msg4990 date=1276549771] That's awesome, thanks mireille! I don't suppose it mentions which kanji will be on the test, does it? [/quote] Sadly, no. But you could visit this website: [url=http://www.tanos.co.uk/jlpt/jlpt3/][color=red]Tanos[/color][/url]. I'm not sure how accurate that Kanji list is, but it's at least a good start. I also recommend getting the N3 mock test.
i put the N3 言葉トレニーグ book i have on the learning list a while ago and ill eventualy put the grammer book on as well. i recomend the N3 言葉トレニーグ book as it comes with and audio cd and sentence example as well as small tests in there as well. its a fairly new book only published 3 months ago. if wanted ill put the isbn so you can track it down.
