JLPT 日本語能力試験
JLPT to CEFR converter
The short answer
This converter shows the approximate CEFR level for each JLPT level from N5 to N1, following the reference levels printed on JLPT score reports since December 2025, and adjusts the picture for how much you actually live in Japanese. JLPT tests only reading and listening, so treat the result as approximate.
