The kanji library, vocabulary lists, and example sentences are all filterable by JLPT level. When you study N3 grammar, the supporting kanji and words automatically come from the N3 set, not from a level you have not reached yet. See the kanji app overview for how kanji practice is organized.
What Hane does not do
Hane is a study and review tool, not a mock-exam simulator. For final test prep, use official JLPT practice tests under timed conditions to build exam stamina. Use Hane between mock exams to drill the patterns and kanji you missed.

Frequently asked questions
Can I prepare for the JLPT entirely with Hane?
Hane covers JLPT grammar lessons, kanji practice, vocabulary, and reading content for N5 through N1. For test-day strategy and timed mock exams, pair Hane with official JLPT practice tests from the JLPT website.
Which JLPT level should I start with?
If you can read hiragana and katakana, start with N5. If you already know basic verb conjugation and ~100 kanji, start with N4. The Hane blog has full grammar lists for every level so you can scan and place yourself accurately.
How long does JLPT preparation take?
Most learners spend three to six months on N5 with daily study, and progressively longer on each higher level. The single biggest predictor of success is consistent short sessions, which is exactly what Hane is built for.
Does Hane replace JLPT mock exams?
No. Hane is a study and review tool. For final test prep, take official JLPT practice tests under timed conditions to build exam stamina. Use Hane to drill the patterns and kanji you miss on those tests.
