Test your JLPT kanji skills with this kanji quiz!
The test consists of 50 questions. The first part is 10 questions where you choose the correct readings for words written in kanji. Then comes 10 questions where you match meanings with kanji characters. After that come 5 questions where you match a certain Japanese word reading with specific kanji writings, then 5 questions where you select the correct kanji for one of the characters in a word. The last 20 questions require you to choose the correct kanji for a part of a given Japanese sentence. The first 10 of these are for whole words, while the last 10 questions are for words written with a kanji followed by okurigana. Good luck and I hope you enjoy the test!

- read the directions, you have to choose which reading ISN'T correct, in which case the question is perfectly valid.

- In Question 24 and 25 there are wrong answers.
24) けいこう should not be 開港 but can be 傾向 or even 蛍光 and
25) けんとう should not be 健康 but 検討.
I guess it's maybe just an accident while typing the hiragana.
And the rest...thanks, good job, nice test! :)

Learn some real Japanese!
This stuff WON'T appear on the JLPT!
Dirty Japanese: Everyday Slang from "What's Up?" to "F*%# Off!" (Dirty Everyday Slang)
Amazon Price: $5.24 (as of 02/17/2012)
The JLPT is great for learning formal and academic Japanese, but this book is a really good complement for anyone who wants to learn how to speak more down to earth, everyday type Japanese, including some obscenities.
My favorite Kanji book
I recommend this one for anyone who's interested in kanji
A Guide to Remembering Japanese Characters (Tuttle language library)
Amazon Price: $16.04 (as of 02/17/2012)
This book is nothing less than an etymological kanji dictionary of all the 2000+ joyo (everyday use) kanji! For each kanji character, it presents its history in brief, references it to associated characters, tells its story of how it has evolved into its current form, and also its readings (both kun and on readings) and three example words/compound words written using the character. Of all the Japanese learning-related books I own, this one is by far the one I've gotten the most out of. I heartily recommend this one!
Improve your kanji skills!
Ready-made flashcards are great for learning kanji
Japanese Kanji Flashcards, Vol. 1 (Third Edition)
Amazon Price: $40.00 (as of 02/17/2012)
Flashcards are great for learning kanji, but they're a bother to make. Well, these ones are already made for you!
