About the JPT Exam

What is JPT?

 The Japanese Proficiency Test (JPT) is a language evaluation test administered to assess reading and listening skills in Japanese. It is often used by universities and companies to determine the proficiency level of non-native speakers in practical Japanese usage. Unlike JLPT, the JPT does not follow a pass/fail grading system but instead scores candidates out of 990 points.

Why should you take the JPT?

 JPT is widely accepted in academic institutions and companies across Japan and South Korea. It is frequently used for admissions, job placements, and employee evaluations. Because it is held more frequently than JLPT and delivers quicker results, it is a popular choice among job-seekers and students working on tight deadlines.

How do Japanese4japan prepare?

 Our JPT preparation program is designed to enhance comprehension speed, vocabulary range, and listening accuracy. We use audio materials modeled on workplace conversations, public announcements, and academic lectures to train listening skills. Reading sessions include training on scanning techniques and vocabulary inference. Grammar is taught in context, focusing on its application rather than just theoretical knowledge. Frequent tests and instant feedback ensure students are on track to achieve high JPT scores.
