NAT-TEST mocks, 5Q to 1Q — the JLPT alternative with more test dates
The NAT-TEST mirrors the JLPT one-for-one — the same 文字・語彙 / 文法・読解 / 聴解 structure, the same 0–180 scoring, the same level ladder — but it's held up to six times a year, so you can certify on your own timeline for SSW and study-visa deadlines. Our mocks are AI-graded with native Japanese listening audio.

Functional business Japanese — the level most Japanese employers look for.
≈ JLPT N1 · CEFR C1

聴解
Listening — native Japanese audio at true exam speed and register.
NAT-TEST or JLPT?
- Same recognition for study and SSW visa purposes at equivalent levels.
- NAT-TEST runs ~6 times a year vs JLPT's 2 — sit it when you're ready, not months later.
- Identical skills tested, so JLPT prep transfers directly — and vice versa.
- Results turn around faster, which helps tight admission and visa deadlines.
