## Higher-grade kanji may appear among the answer choices In reading and writing practice, each question presents 7 incorrect choices alongside the correct answer (8 options in total). Rather than picking random unrelated kanji, the app prioritizes "related" kanji that share a radical or component with the correct answer. Learning to tell apart kanji that look similar is one of the most effective ways to build lasting retention. Some of these "related" kanji may come from a grade level higher than your current setting (for example, for the Grade 3 kanji 指, choices may include the Grade 5 kanji 提, 損, and 接, which all share the 扌 radical). - At most 2 higher-grade kanji will appear in any single question (no more than 2 out of 8 choices — one fewer than before). - The correct answer is always within your selected grade range. A higher-grade kanji will never be the right answer. - In the explanation shown after answering, the correct kanji shows "Elementary Grade N / Kanji Kentei Level M", while each of the "other choices" shows just "Elementary Grade N". Higher-grade kanji are shown in blue so you can spot them at a glance. Seeing a small number of higher-grade kanji mixed in is completely normal behavior — there is no need to find it intimidating. Even just glancing at them as "distinguishing practice" is beneficial.
