JLCT refers to the Japanese Language Certification Test, which is a certification test designed to evaluate and certify the Japanese language proficiency of non-native speakers. JLCT is offered by the Japan Language Testing Association and is recognized by various organizations and companies in Japan and overseas. The JLCT test is divided into five levels: N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5, with N1 being the highest level and N5 being the lowest level. Each level assesses the test taker's proficiency in areas such as vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The JLCT test is a computer-based test (CBT) and is administered in over 50 countries around the world. The test is typically offered twice a year, in July and December.
