Taking the JLPT from United States

For English-speaking learners in United States, this page keeps the JLPT facts local and honest — the real test sittings near you, the real pass marks, and the real corridor rules.

Test cities & sittings

In United States, the JLPT is offered, but the list of test cities is managed by the local host institution — check locally for the current cities and their July / December sittings.

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.
