JLPT or NAT: Which Japanese Exam Should You Take in 2025?

Choosing between the JLPT or NAT is crucial for your Japanese learning path. At Japanese Language Coaching, we help students identify the exam that aligns with their career or academic goals. The JLPT is widely recognized globally, ideal for students aiming for university admission, job opportunities, or visa applications in Japan. Conducted twice a year, it tests reading, listening, grammar, and vocabulary across N5 to N1 levels. The NAT-TEST offers practical assessment, held six times annually, focusing on real-life Japanese usage. While its recognition is growing, it’s especially popular in India and Asia. Our tailored courses prepare learners for both exams efficiently, ensuring confidence and success. Whether you aim for global certification or regular practice, Japanese Language Coaching provides structured guidance for JLPT or NAT in 2025.
