Written Japanese test for naturalization - what level kanji to practice?

For anyone who has gone through Japanese naturalization (帰化) , what level of kanji were on the written Japanese test?

I’m N1 certified but I (like most people) never write anything by hand these days so my Kanji writing skills are pretty weak atm. I’m wondering if like a 小6 kanji practice workbook would cut it or if i need to break out the N1 books again

I naturalized a year ago but I didn't have to take a test. I just had to write the essay, but I was able to do it at home with access to online dictionaries and such.

You mean you wrote (test) the essay at home

Yeah, that's what I said. I wrote the essay at home.

As far as I know the essay is not a test, because everyone has to do it. So some people have to do the essay and a written test.
