About the BJT Exam
The BJT Business Japanese Proficiency Test (BJTビジネス日本語能力テスト) measures the practical Japanese-language communication ability needed in real business and workplace situations. It is administered by the Japan Kanji Aptitude Testing Foundation and delivered year-round as a computer-based test through Pearson VUE. The exam has 80 four-option multiple-choice questions across three parts — Part 1 Listening Comprehension, Part 2 Listening & Reading Comprehension, and Part 3 Reading Comprehension — and takes about two hours. Unlike the JLPT, the BJT has no pass/fail mark; instead it reports an IRT-scaled score from 0 to 800 mapped to six levels from J5 (lowest) to J1+ (highest). Content focuses on workplace Japanese: keigo (sonkeigo, kenjougo, and teineigo), business dialogues such as phone calls, meetings, customer service, and negotiations, interpreting charts, graphs, and tables, and reading business documents like emails, memos, reports, and notices. There are no speaking or writing production tasks. Because results never expire as a snapshot and the test runs on demand, candidates can retake it to demonstrate improvement, observing a mandatory three-month wait between attempts.
Exam sponsor: Japan Kanji Aptitude Testing Foundation (公益財団法人 日本漢字能力検定協会), delivered via Pearson VUE. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

How do the BJT vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 BJT terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
