I’m currently working through the Migii JLPT path for N4 and have basically aced the kanji section. It moved me forward 9 days on path completion. I would never have gotten that kind of success without Wani Kani. I read that WK level 27 is N4 equivalent but I’m only Level 16. That is such a relief. Now I can focus on all the other areas (which is still a major task).

My friend was successful on N3 and was around Level 16 on Wanikani. It’s a good tool.

Level 27 is n4 complete. However, at level 16 you know about 98% of N4 kanji.

i’m on level 19 right now and a majority of words i’ve learned there in recent months are considered N3, i assume that level 27 is where you complete all N4 words like the above person said

wkstats has some nice tables that show how much you know of what in each level, for isntance, here’s the JLPT coverage. At level 16, like prolezone said, you know most N4 Kanji (97.96% => 98%)

you can also check how much of Twitter, or Wikipedia, or NHK you understand at each level:

this is another aspect, there’s understanding the kanji and knowing all readings, then there’s also recognizing combinations even if you have no idea what the individual kanji mean. I would say I have a lot of those words, too - where I know it’s a specific word, but if I saw the individual kanji in order words, I wouldn’t know what they mean or how to read them. I think it’s normal as long as you occasionally immerse outside of learner-material, you’ll end up seeing and eventually remembering kanji or kanji-combinations without having “studied” them.
I found this to be true in several cases where I had never learned the kanji combination but could noodle through the meaning.
Thank you for the links I will check those out
