N4 roughly triples the count and starts introducing characters whose meaning shifts with the compound. You meet the first large batch of verb kanji and the characters behind common adjectives, so recognition alone stops being enough.
Group by shared components. Once you can see that 語, 話 and 読 all carry the speech radical, a third of the work is already done. Sorting this table by stroke count makes those families easier to spot.
On-readings and kun-readings start diverging in ways that matter. A character you know by its kun-reading in one word may appear with an unfamiliar on-reading in a compound, and the exam favours exactly those cases.
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.
