Each proficiency test is made up of three sections: vocabulary - grammar (60 points); listening (60 points); reading (60 points). The contents and criteria of the tests are as follows:

Listening: 60 minutes
The Level 1 examinee has mastered grammar to a high level, knows about 2,000 Kanji and 10,000 words, and has an integrated command of the language sufficient for life in Japanese society. This level is normally reached after studying Japanese for about 900 hours.
