The Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is implemented in July and December each year to measure general Japanese language proficiency. To people advancing to a professional college, university, or graduate school, people who want to work in Japan, and people who want to work using Japanese in their home countries, the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test is the perfect test "for proving one's Japanese language ability." On the other hand, the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) is implemented twice a year, in June and November, to measure one's Japanese ability to handle studying at a university or the like in Japan. 95% of national universities and 65% of public universities require foreign students to take the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students in entrance tests for undergraduate programs. Also, 44% of private universities require taking the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students. As for the composition of test questions, the EJU has short-answer questions, but the JLPT does not. Conversely, the JLPT has questions on linguistic knowledge (characters / vocabulary / grammar), but the EJU does not have questions that directly test linguistic knowledge. Also, regarding the sections where the two tests have the same question format, namely, reading comprehension / listening comprehension and listening-reading comprehension (listening comprehension on the JLPT), each test has questions that match that test's respective goals.
