It is not mandatory to take the CJL level check test. However, since all Japanese language courses are categorized by levels, it is recommended that you take the test in order to register for courses that match your level during the course registration period.
Please note that dropping courses after the course registration period due to unsuitable level is NOT allowed at all.
Even if you have taken another test, we recommend that you take the CJL level check test. This test is Waseda University’s own test. Therefore, its results cannot be comparable to a level rated by other tests.

Yes, you can.
Your level determined by the CJL Level Check Test is the “Recommended Level”. Please consider your CJL Level Check Test score when determining which course you will take. (Your level is determined by the “total score” of the test, so if you feel that your specific Japanese language skills are low or high than the level, you can take courses that match your level.)
Though it is possible to take a course that is higher or lower than your proficiency level, but please keep in mind the following points.
■ If you wish to take a course that is higher than your proficiency level
If there is a level that you are working towards to achieve, it is possible to take a course beyond your proficiency level.
However, after the registration period, you may not drop the higher-level course even if you find it too advanced for you.
■ If you wish to take a course that is lower than your proficiency level
The CJL Level Check Test reports only your total score of Japanese level. If you find that one of your Japanese skills is lower, you may take a low-proficiency level course that matches the skill you wish to improve.
Please note that intentionally taking courses below your proficiency level will not necessarily result in a good grade.
You can take both tests “CJL Level Check Test_Grammar & Vocabulary” and “CJL Level Check Test_Kanji” with the same ID and Password issued.
You can continue taking the test from the frozen page by using the same ID and Password.
Please apply for new ID and Password and try again if it shows your ID and Password are invalid. In this case, please retake the test from the beginning.
Your test score is displayed on the screen after you finish the test.
You can download your score as PDF data as well.
If you forget to check your score, you can do so by re-logging into the test-taking page.
You can take the test only once in a semester.
