he Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is an exam that measures how well you can understand Japanese. It is held twice a year, in July and December, both in Japan and many other countries.

The test has five levels, from N5 (beginner) to N1 (advanced).

N5 and N4 test basic grammar, kanji, and daily conversation.

N3 and N2 are for intermediate learners who can read longer texts.

N1 is the hardest level, for people who can use Japanese at a professional level.

The JLPT checks your reading, listening, vocabulary, and grammar. There is no speaking or writing section.

Many people take the JLPT to study or work in Japan, or to prove their Japanese ability.
Passing higher levels like N2 or N1 can also help you get better job or visa opportunities
