What’s JLPT?

日本語能力試験, standing for Nihongo nōryoku shiken, is known by foreigners through its English acronym, JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test). The JLPT is an official ability test that aims to certifying one’s Japanese level. It’s a multiple-choice exam that assesses knowledge in the following areas: vocabulary, kanji, grammar and listening. When it was first launched in 1984, it consisted of four levels. In 2010, in order to bridge the gap between N2 and N3, a new level was added between these two. It became the current N3. Therefore, the present test structure consists of five levels, starting from N5 (the lowest level) to N1 (the highest level). In Japan and in China, exams are set up every six months, in July and December of each year. In most of the other countries that hold the JLPT, one exam per year is held in December. Over time, the JLPT became an examination recognised by the whole Japanese society. Nowadays it is prevalent for candidates to have obtained proof of a certain JLPT level in order to be admitted to an university or to a company in Japan.

Get ready for the JLPT with the Shinjuku Japanese Language Institute

Join SNG to follow its JLPT preparation course. A course specifically designed to learn Japanese language points and elements required for the test. Classes take place every Saturday in our school in Takadanobaba, in the Shinjuku district. Choose the term(s) that suit(s) you the best among our three options: April, July or October. On the one hand, some terms allow you to get a grip on all the elements required for the JLPT such as grammar, kanji, vocabulary and listening; while on the other hand, other terms focus on specific elements. Thus, the syllabus of the term in July focuses on writing comprehension, while the term in October concentrates on vocabulary and grammar. Our JLPT preparation courses will allow you to prepare for the three highest levels of the exam: N1, N2 and N3.
