I realize it’s no small feat to create a new way to study for a dry standardized test, but surely there has to be a “best” way - even if they can’t “gamify” studying Japanese for these standardized tests. I was surprised by the sheer amount of applications available specifically targeted toward the JLPT, but one thing was certain: they all felt derivative of one another. The most challenging part about writing a series on the best mobile apps to studying for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) isn’t finding the applications to download - but rather wading through them!
