A question regarding Heisig Kanjis and JLPT Kanjis - tehfriendlyghost - 2014-01-09

Do the Heisig Kanjis (the 2200 of the 6th edition) cover all the Kanjis you need for the JLPT N1 level?

Other kanji may appear (e.g. 歪, 呑, 鞭 and 茫 in the workbook) but they're likely to have furigana (the word the last one was used in even had a definition).

This isn't really an important question anyway -- there's so much more you need to know to pass the N1 other than kanji that by the time you're ready to take the test it won't matter whether a kanji was in Heisig or not.

He's right, I wouldn't even be thinking about N1 at the outset. If you set such massive goals at the beginning it's real tough to keep motivation up during the 2-5 year slog to get there. I wouldn't even think about JLPT until you're already pretty decent at Japanese. The lower tests are a waste of time and worrying about the higher ones is like worrying about what major to pursue in university while you're still in elementary school.
