The Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is a standardized test that evaluates and certifies the Japanese language proficiency of non-native speakers. It is divided into five levels, from N1 (the most advanced) to N5 (the most basic), assessing reading, listening, and comprehension skills. The JLPT is held twice a year in many countries around the world, typically in July and December. Passing the test can enhance job opportunities and academic prospects for individuals interested in working or studying in Japan, as it demonstrates a certain level of language ability.
