Practise before you register
The JLPT is held twice a year (July and December); many overseas cities offer only one sitting, so your window may be tighter than you expect. Practise the three tested sections — Language Knowledge, Reading and Listening — with honest readiness estimates against each level's real pass mark before you book. The certificate never expires.
