3級 Most commonly occuring compounds

[ojayc]

Hi guys, Im sitting the JLPT, level 3 test in December. A friend of mine sat the test in Tokyo last year and said he met a guy who had a list of the most commonly occuring kanji compounds based on previous years tests. Apparently he found them on some helpful website but Ive "googled" my butt off looking for this site.

Its probably a long shot but just wondering if anyone knows where I can find this info! Cheers in advance!

I suggest you just study the complete kanji and vocabulary lists for the test. They're not very long, and the only point to passing the 3kyuu is to prove to yourself that you are at that level, so I don't see much point in trying to take shortcuts.

There is a list of the kanji in all the tests since 1992 available here (and here for the vocabulary), but I guess you'll have to see for yourself which ones occurred most frequently.
