New JLPT starting in 2010
As you may know, the JLPT test will be changed next year. The biggest change is that there will be five levels as opposed to the current four levels.
1. Four Levels will be changed to Five Levels:
- N1: equivalent to the current level 1 and more advanced
- N2: equivalent to the current level 2
- N3: between the current levels 2 and3
- N4: equivalent to the current level 3
- N5: equivalent to the current level 4
You can find sample tests for each of the new levels from the JLPT website below.
Also, you can download a guidebook (in Japanese) about the new JLPT. A summary in English will be published soon.
