Information Sessions on the New Japanese-Language Proficiency Test

Since 2010, the JLPT has made some changes with increased focus on communicative competence, which is reflected in the form of some of the questions.In addition, the number of levels and the scoring system have been changed.
You can learn more about the new JLPT at http://jlpt.jp/e/about/index.html .



You can also try some sample questions of each level by visiting http://jlpt.jp/e/samples/forlearners.html .

However, it is often helpful to have someone explain and/or to try sample questions together with others who arewpreparing for the same exam.

Therefore, we are offering the following information sessions to help examinees
(1) to understand the changes in the new JLPT and
(2) to become acquainted with the new types of questions.
