Another great tool for nailing the vocabulary section of the JLPT in preparation for the test
is intelligent electronic flashcards (spaced repetition system).

The tools below are all free to use but really good!

 Memrise 
       is a fully online tool
 Anki  
       is an app you can use on the Desktop (any OS is ok), on your mobile phone, and on the web.
 Renshuu
       is an online study tool with a great community and a very helpful site creator. another highly recommended site. You can try the pro version for free or use the greatly-featured free version.

From the Anki website:

Remember Anything 
From images to scientific markup, Anki has got you covered.

Remember Anywhere 
Review on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and any device with a web browser.

Remember Efficiently  
Only practice the material that you're about to forget.
