Before you start
Is this an official JLPT app or a full-length exam?
Kippu is an independent app with original questions. Its 12-question mini tests and 35-question practice tests do not reproduce the full official exam length, timing or scoring. Results are for practice.
Can I choose my own exam date?
Yes. Choose a date for your study plan. Suggested dates are reference information. Always confirm exam dates, registration periods and local availability with your official JLPT organizer.
Will my progress and purchases transfer to iOS?
There is currently no cross-device or cross-platform progress sync. iOS purchase terms and migration support have not been confirmed. Do not assume a Google Play purchase will transfer to the App Store.
Kippu is an independent study app for learners aged 13 and over. It is not affiliated with the Japan Foundation or Japan Educational Exchanges and Services, which organize the JLPT.
