How close is this to the real JLPT?

The sections follow the real exam’s structure, and every item is a real N3-level word, kanji or grammar point. It is shorter, the listening uses your browser’s voice rather than recorded dialogues, and it is not an official mock — treat the score as a guide. On the real test the N3 pass mark is 95 out of 180, with a minimum in each section.
