N3 3 month challenge

[Stefan]

is it possible to be able to study the N3 in a 2-3 month timeframe?

It depends on how much previous experience you have with Japanese. I wouldn't say it's impossible, but it would be very tough without a doubt if you're starting from scratch. N3 is considered to be an intermediate level of Japanese and you're expected to be able to read a fair amount of kanji and know some few thousand words.

If you want to know what vocabulary and kanji the N3 test may contain, then you might want to check out this site:

If you are around N4 level or have taken about two years of College Japanese, it is possible, but you will need to dedicate a lot of time to studying.

im about N3 i think. i understand most N4 an N5 vocab (at least what's posted on Tanos) so far my greatest str is grammer and weakness listening.

I have a friend who studied a few hours a day for 6 months and that wasn't enough
to bridge the gap. Of course how a person studies, what they study, background are
all a factor. I'd say go in with the attitude that it is possible, and go for it.

I think you can study N3 in 3 months
