Are official JLPT past exam papers available?
The JLPT organizers explain that they do not publish a complete copy of every exam. Their Official Practice Workbooks, released in 2012 and 2018, contain selected questions from earlier tests. A workbook publication year is different from a July or December exam date.
Doolulu is an independent study tool. Our 2018 set is presented as practice material without claiming a particular exam sitting. For the organizers’ sample questions, answer keys, and audio, visit the official JLPT practice workbook page.
How to study with past questions
- Attempt the question before reading its answer.
- Compare your choice with the explanation and review unfamiliar words.
- For listening, replay the clip before reading the transcript.
- Return to the full set in mock mode when you want to practice with a timer.
