Looks like the selection is a little narrower for N3 (the 3A one-mock-test-per-book sets are only N1 and N2), but there are some, for instance this is the N3 version of the ゼッタイ合格 mock test book that I have for N1. It's got three complete mock tests in it, including CDs for the listening test section. Buying that and then doing one test from it every three months or so would provide a reasonable measure of progress I think.

Looks like when I first published this my answer for some reason didn't get published. Just wanted to say thanks - this looks like a great resource.

Also, I just registered for j-cat. They need up to 72 hours to (i guess) manually confirm your registration and send you a password. It looks like it takes much less time than the JLPT. The website says from 45 to 90 minutes.
