It's been 14 years since I came to Japan, and I decided to take the JPT exam because I thought it would be beneficial for my job.
By actually taking the test, I was able to measure my Japanese communication skills, which I thought would be advantageous for finding a job in Japan.
I felt that my ability to understand grammar, vocabulary, and conversation content was weak.
I haven't used my JPT score yet, but taking the test has given me more confidence in myself. From now on, I would like to try to get a job at a Japanese company.

I studied Japanese because I wanted to live a more easy-going life. It's been 16 years and 7 months since I came to Japan.
I took JPT for the first time because I wanted to know my current level of Japanese. One of the reasons I took the JPT test was that it was convenient because it was held every month.
When I took the exam, I realized that I was lacking in honorific language, the ability to respond appropriately to questions, the ability to read and write kanji, and the ability to read sentences.
In the future, I would like to try reading in Japanese.

When I had to express my feelings in Japanese, I couldn't do it properly and it was painful, so I started studying Japanese. I passed JLPT N3 once, but I failed N2. I felt bad about that and really wanted to pass N2, so I took the JPT exam for the first time.
It's been a long time since I last took the exam, so I was nervous and couldn't answer all the reading comprehension questions in time, so I'll try harder next time. While the JLPT has a result of passing and failing (failure), the JPT allows me to see how far I can go, so I felt like I was being pushed back instead of feeling like a failure. Since you can use your JPT score when job hunting, your activities will become more enjoyable from now on.
I want to do work that helps people in my own way. I would like to work especially for foreigners in need, such as interpreting or welfare work. Thanks to JPT, I was able to confirm my abilities, and I am truly grateful. I'm 58 years old, but I feel like I can still do my best.

I started studying Japanese because I wanted to have conversations with local people in the country's language. At school, I can understand simple Japanese.
I think the good thing about JPT is that it allows you to measure your current level of Japanese without feeling pressured compared to other exams. After actually taking the exam, I found it useful for learning Japanese. Also, I found out that I am weak in reading and writing kanji, so I would like to study more and become able to speak fluently in daily life.

I took the JPT because I wanted to measure my ability to pass JLPT N1 and because I thought it would give me an advantage at work.
I think it's good that JPT has exams every month. When I actually took the exam, I realized that my grammar, ability to understand conversation content, reading and writing kanji, and ability to read sentences were weak. Also, since I use Japanese every day at work, I wanted to improve my skills.
In the future, I would like to try my hand at bilingual work using Japanese.

（PHILIPPINES・part-time job）
It's been a year and a half since I came to Japan. When I was in elementary school, a friend who always talked about anime introduced me to One Piece. I learned a lot about Japan, and that's when I started wanting to know more. I thought.
I took the JPT test thinking it would give me an advantage in going to higher education or getting a job, but when I actually took the test, I realized what skills I lacked and it was a good experience.
From now on, I would like to challenge myself up to the N1 level.

The reason I decided to study Japanese was because I wanted to go to Japan.
I took the JPT because I wanted to know my current level of Japanese. When I actually took the test, I found that the question choices were different from those on the JLPT, and I thought it was a good way to measure my communication skills.
I am weak in reading and writing kanji, so I would like to study kanji more. In the future, I would like to create a Japanese textbook.

（BRAZIL・part-time job）
I started studying Japanese because I wanted to build a career in Japan.
I took the JPT because I thought it would give me an advantage in furthering my education or working in Japan, and I like that the JPT specializes in listening and reading comprehension questions.
After taking the test, I felt that my ability to respond appropriately to questions, read and write Kanji, and read sentences were weak, so I will continue to study on my own by using Youtube. I would like to be able to speak Japanese more fluently.
