The Japan Kanji Aptitude Test[1] (日本漢字能力検定試験 Nihon Kanji Nōryoku Kentei Shiken), also known as Kanji Kentei (漢字検定), or Kanken (漢検), is a test of kanji ability.
There are 12 levels (levels 10 through 3, pre-2, 2, pre-1 and 1) with
level 10 being the easiest and level 1 the most difficult. The test
examines ability to read and write kanji, to understand their meanings
and use them correctly in sentences, and to identify correct stroke order. It was developed for native Japanese speakers.
Native speakers pass levels 10 through 7 at better than an 80% rate,
whereas level 1 is so difficult that fewer than two thousand people take
it each time it is offered, and fewer than 15% of those examinees pass.
A college-educated native speaker of average ability could be expected
to pass level pre-2 with a slight amount of studying.
The Japanese Language Proficiency Test (日本語能力試験 Nihongo Nōryoku Shiken), or JLPT, is a standardized criterion-referenced test to evaluate and certify Japanese language proficiency for non-native speakers, covering language knowledge, reading ability, and listening ability.[1] The test is held twice a year in Japan
and selected countries (on the first Sunday of July and December), and
once a year in other regions (on the first Sunday of December).[2]
