The exam
What is JLPT?
JLPT is the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test, a language proficiency exam (Japan and test centres worldwide). Offered at five levels from N5 for beginners to N1 for advanced learners, administered by the Japan Foundation and Japan Educational Exchanges and Services. All questions are multiple-choice, covering language knowledge in vocabulary and grammar, reading comprehension, and listening; there is no speaking or writing component. Each level has sectional minimum requirements as well as an overall requirement. Higher levels emphasise kanji, nuance and long passages.
Who takes it: Learners of Japanese worldwide who want certified proficiency for study, work or visa purposes in Japan, from beginners to advanced readers.

How to prepare
Studying for JLPT, step by step
01
Prioritise
Kanji and vocabulary are the bottleneck at every level; learn them in context with example sentences and review daily with spaced repetition.
02
Practise
Listening has its own minimum requirement, so train with native-speed audio early rather than leaving it to the last month.
03
Avoid the traps
Grammar points are tested through subtle differences in nuance; study near-synonyms together and practise choosing between them in sentences.
04
Ask, then watch
Type or say a topic in your own words; the tutor plans a storyboard, one picture per idea, and explains it step by step.
05
Interrupt and check
Say "wait, why?" mid-explanation and it answers on the picture; a checkpoint question ends every lesson.
06
Your papers
Upload past papers and notes so the practice follows the exam, and use Test Lab for graded tests.
