Features of J.TEST
The J.TEST has six key features:
① Three test types:

The “A-C Level Test” for advanced learners.
The “D-E Level Test” for beginner to intermediate learners.
The “F-G Level Test” for entry-level learners.

② Consistent difficulty and frequent test opportunities:

The A-C Level Test and D-E Level Test are held six times a year.
The F-G Level Test is held twice a year in Japan ; however, in the Philippines, it is available at every session.
Since the difficulty level remains constant, repeated attempts help track progress in Japanese proficiency.

③ Assessment of “practical” and “real-world” Japanese skills:

The test places a strong emphasis on listening comprehension, featuring natural and commonly used expressions.
It includes written response questions such as kanji reading/writing and short sentence composition, which are not found in other tests.
(The F-G Level Test consists entirely of multiple-choice questions.)
J.TEST evaluates practical language abilities.

④ Capable of measuring proficiency beyond JLPT N1:

The A-C Level Test assesses advanced communication skills, exceeding the proficiency level of JLPT N1.

⑤ Issuance of certification:

Test-takers who achieve a certain score or higher receive an official certification.
Additionally, all examinees receive a score report and reference materials by mail.
