N2 brings the total to around a thousand characters, which covers most of what appears in newspapers and business writing. The additions are weighted towards formal and written registers rather than conversational vocabulary.
Prioritise by frequency rather than working through the list in order. The high-frequency band in this table is where the marks are; rare characters at this level appear once a paper if at all.
Similar-looking characters become a real source of lost marks: pairs that differ by a single component are exactly what distractor options are built from. Studying those pairs side by side beats studying them apart.
Meanings shown above are the primary sense of each character. Individual kanji often carry several senses, and the full list for any character is available by selecting it.
