Japanese Proficiency Test

Japanese Language Proficiency Test:

Transparent Language has provided this Japanese test as an opportunity for people who are learning Japanese to test their level of proficiency in the Japanese language. We have based this test on the standard Japanese grammar and Japanese vocabulary that you would find in any Japanese language learning material. Unlike an achievement test, a proficiency test is not dependent on particular class content, course material, or language software. Instead, this proficiency test is intended to measure your command of the Japanese language regardless of your Japanese language learning background. Test your Japanese learning now!

We offer this Japanese language test for self-evaluation purposes only. You may find that your score on this Japanese test is not consistent with other tests you have taken. Transparent Language is solely responsible for the test content.

The Japanese test may take a few moments to load. Please be patient.
