N3 is where the count roughly doubles again and the characters turn abstract: intention, degree, tendency, consequence. These are harder to anchor to an image, which is the main reason people stall at this level.
Stop learning characters in isolation entirely. At this point every new kanji should arrive attached to two or three words you have actually read somewhere. Reading real material, even simplified news, does more here than any list.
N3 is the level where Reading becomes its own pass-or-fail section with a 19 of 60 minimum. Kanji recognition speed, not just knowledge, is what carries you through that section in the time allowed.
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.
