The test is organized by the Japan Foundation and is the only official test for Japanese which is recognized worldwide.

The JLPT test comprises 5 levels, ranging from N1, the highest level, to N5. At each level, the following competencies are being evaluated: vocabulary, grammar, reading ability, and listening comprehension. It is not necessary to obtain all five levels consecutively.
