（PHILIPPINES・housewife）
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 took the JPT test for the first time because I thought it would give me an advantage in pursuing higher education and work, and I also wanted to know my current level of Japanese.
I think the good thing about JPT is that you can take the exam anytime during the year.
When I actually took the test, I thought it would measure my Japanese communication skills, and I realized that my ability to use honorific language, understand the content of conversations, and respond appropriately to questions was weak.
From now on, I would like to use Japanese at work.

（VIETNAM・Student）
When I was in Vietnam, I saw Japanese and thought it was difficult but interesting because it has hiragana, katakana, and kanji. After I started studying it, I really started to like Japanese.
After taking the JPT test, I thought it would be helpful for learning Japanese. JPT is not divided by level, but includes all questions at levels equivalent to N5 to N1.
Also, since there are a large number of questions and the exam time is relatively short, you will have to think quickly, but I think this will allow us to accurately evaluate each person's Japanese language ability.
Another good thing is that there are exams every month and the results are quick.
JPT scores can also be used when entering vocational schools, so I would like to further check my communication skills in the future. Also, after taking the exam, I realized that my ability to respond appropriately to questions was weak, so I would like to use Japanese often at work, school, and in my daily life to gain experience and knowledge.

（CHINA・Student）
I took the JPT test for the first time because I wanted to measure my ability above N1.
Preparing for the JPT exam was relatively easy, as the only types of questions are listening comprehension and reading comprehension, but since the content focuses more on the practicality of Japanese, in the process of preparing for the exam, I learned Japanese that is often used in daily life. I feel like I learned a lot of things effectively.
The results of the JPT exam are certainly proof of your Japanese language ability, so they are useful for both applying to universities and getting a part-time job.
In the future, I would like to enter a graduate school majoring in law in Japan, so I would like to learn the specialized Japanese terminology used in the legal field, and be able to conduct specialized discussions and write papers in Japanese.
Also, I would like to actively practice conversation in order to acquire a more natural way of speaking Japanese. Furthermore, I am very interested in media produced in Japanese, such as Japanese movies, TV dramas, and music, so I will continue to study and do my best so that I can easily understand the raw content that has not been translated.

（VIETNAM・Student）
I took the JPT exam because I thought it would give me an advantage in my studies and career.
JPT helps measure your practical Japanese skills compared to other Japanese language proficiency exams. In particular,
since the exam content includes everyday conversation and understanding and writing sentences, I thought that it would be easier to communicate in Japan and write sentences for business purposes.
I also think it is good that the JPT score is recognized both in Japan and abroad, and can serve as reliable proof of language skills when working in Japan or studying abroad.
When I actually took the exam, I realized that my ability to understand grammar and conversation, reading and writing kanji, and reading sentences was weak.
From now on, I would like to use Japanese to challenge business communication at a more advanced level and specialized topics.

I have taken the JPT test more than 5 times because I believe that it measures my Japanese communication skills and will give me an advantage when it comes to going to higher education or getting a job. In fact,
I was able to use my JPT score when enrolling in school.
In the future, I would like to be able to reach the N1 level.

A・H
（UNITED STATES・part-time job）
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.

（INDONESIA・Student）
When I was a child, I wanted to study Japanese after watching a TV program about Japanese food.
Compared to other Japanese language proficiency exams, JPT has questions from the N1 level to N5 level, so I think it's good that you can solve a variety of questions.
By taking the JPT test, I realized that my Japanese level, grammar, and ability to understand conversation content were lacking.
In the future, I would like to be able to watch Japanese dramas without using subtitles.
