Japanese N 1 is the highest level in the Japanese proficiency test. N 1 level, can read a wide range of Japanese newspapers and understand most Japanese conversations. The N 1 and N2 exams are based on two subjects: language knowledge (words, vocabulary and grammar), reading and listening.

When recruiting foreign students, most universities in Japan are required to submit candidates' N 1 certificates as the basis of language proficiency. Japanese universities require registered international students to submit proof of N/KLOC-0 and/or N2. The Japanese side requires relevant international exchanges or some labor importers to submit corresponding grade certificates.

Matters needing attention

Japanese level test is to evaluate whether you pass or not by comprehensive score and passing score of each individual score. Passing the individual score means that each individual score must reach at least this score. If one of the individual scores fails to reach the passing score, then no matter how high the comprehensive score is, it cannot be regarded as passing.
