BJT GUIDE

What is the BJT? Test format and study approach

The BJT Business Japanese Proficiency Test measures Japanese communication proficiency required in business settings. This page summarizes the format and connects you to practice tools in WHY BJT STUDY.

Three parts in a CBT test

The official BJT guide describes three parts: Listening Comprehension, Listening and Reading Comprehension, and Reading Comprehension. The exam is delivered as computer-based testing, so following audio and reading information in sequence matters.

  • Listening

    Understand workplace speech and intent.

  • Listening-reading

    Process audio together with visual information.

  • Reading

    Read business messages and work materials.

Score and levels

BJT results are reported on a 0–800 score scale and evaluated across six levels from J5 to J1+. It is not a pass-or-fail exam. Use the official score and level information when setting your target.

A practical way to study

  1. 1

    Build vocabulary

    Learn business Japanese words with the situation and example, not only a translation.

  2. 2

    Train each part

    Rotate listening, listening-reading, and reading so one skill does not hide another.

  3. 3

    Practice under time

    Use CBT-style sets to keep moving with the audio and manage reading time.

  4. 4

    Review the result

    Check incorrect questions, explanations, and weak types after each session.

Practice with WHY BJT STUDY
