With JOT's computer-based testing (CBT) format, you can take the exam anytime, anywhere. No need to worry about rigid exam schedules; you can take the test when you're ready, even if your residence permit deadline is approaching.
Unlike traditional language tests, JOT allows you to take the exam multiple times until you achieve the desired result. This ensures you have ample opportunities to pass without waiting for the next exam session.
JOT uses a cutting-edge facial recognition system to verify the identity of the test-taker, preventing substitution and cheating. This ensures a secure and trustworthy examination process.
JOT assesses all critical aspects of language proficiency: Vocabulary, Grammar, Reading, and Listening. The inclusion of cultural understanding also prepares you to integrate into Japanese society, whether for work or study.
JOT is linked to "jElearning," an online platform that helps you improve your Japanese skills through self-study. This feature makes it possible to prepare for the exam even if you don't have access to a local Japanese language school or teacher.
After completing the test, your results are available instantly on your My Page, giving you the flexibility to know your performance immediately and plan the next steps.
JOT is expanding to several countries with approved test centers, including Vietnam, the Philippines, India, Bangladesh, and more. This global reach makes it easier for candidates from different regions to access the test.
JOT is certified by Japan’s Ministry of Justice and the Immigration Services Agency. This makes it a reliable certification for those seeking to live, work, or study in Japan, providing an essential qualification for residence or work permits.
The test provides feedback on your strengths and areas for improvement, allowing you to focus on specific aspects of the language that need more attention.
JOT offers five test levels (JT1 to JT5), from basic to advanced, making it suitable for beginners as well as more experienced learners. This ensures that candidates can start at the level most appropriate for their current proficiency.
