Hello! I‘m the career advisor and Japanese teacher at NILS.
Today, I’d like to share about the “JLPT Exam Day Support” provided at our school. For those reading this blog, some of you might be planning to take the JLPT someday. I hope this gives you an idea of how we support our students during this important day!
Thorough Preparation Before the Exam!
The JLPT is a major opportunity to test your Japanese skills, but on the day of the exam, the crowded venue and nervousness can easily throw you off. That’s why we provide comprehensive support to help our students face the exam with confidence!
• Distribution of a Checklist
To ensure students don’t forget essential items like their “examination slip” or “writing tools,” we created and distributed a checklist beforehand. Since you can’t take the exam without your slip, we carefully checked even the smallest details.
• Guidance to the Venue
We provided detailed access information to the test venue, complete with maps. We also shared tips for arriving early and explained transportation options in detail.
Peace of Mind on Exam Day!
Finally, the big day arrived. To help our students stay relaxed, we provided full support from gathering to guiding them to the venue.
• Support During Gathering
Everyone feels nervous before an exam. To help ease the tension, we created a friendly atmosphere by chatting with the students.
• Guidance to the Venue
Since the test venue was a bit far from the school, we made sure everyone could arrive without getting lost by accompanying them. Some students were riding trains for the first time, so we also taught them how to navigate the train system!
• Last-Minute Advice Before the Test
Just before the exam started, we went over time management tips and important reminders one last time. We encouraged the students until the very end to help them feel confident.
Fully Supporting Your Dreams!
What I realized through accompanying students to the JLPT is the importance of creating an environment where they can focus on the exam with peace of mind. Seeing our students feel, “I’m glad I worked hard!” and sharing those moments of success together is truly rewarding.
To those of you who dream of studying at a Japanese language school and taking the JLPT in the future, we are here to support you every step of the way. Rest assured and take bold steps toward your goals. Let’s work hard together!
