About the J.TEST F-G Exam
The J.TEST Test of Practical Japanese F-G Level (J.TEST実用日本語検定 F-Gレベル) is the beginner paper of the J.TEST examination, designed to measure practical, everyday Japanese ability and assigning either an F or a G grade based on score. Following the 2019 restructuring of J.TEST, the F-G paper became the entry-level test, covering grades F and G and corresponding roughly to JLPT levels N5–N4. The exam is delivered mostly as four-option multiple-choice on a mark sheet, with a small write-in short-sentence portion, and is organized into a Reading section (grammar and vocabulary, reading comprehension, kanji, and short-sentence questions) and a Listening section (photo, response, and conversation/explanation questions). It is scored out of 350 points, with a G certificate issued at 180 points and an F certificate at 250 points, and candidates must avoid scoring zero in any of the eight assessed fields. The Reading section runs about 60 minutes and the Listening section about 25 minutes. In Japan the F-G level is offered twice a year, in May and November, in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka. Because it focuses on practical communication for shopping, directions, school, and daily life, J.TEST is widely used by learners and employers as a flexible alternative or complement to the JLPT.
