The Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT)/Nihongo Nōryoku Shiken (日本語能力試験) is an officially recognized language test organized by the Japan Foundation to evaluate and certify the Japanese language proficiency of non-native speakers. There are five levels ranging from N5 (easiest) to N1 (most difficult). The test is conducted at various locations throughout the world. In Sweden, the Japan Foundation administers the test in cooperation with SAJP, The Stockholm Association for Japanese Language Proficiency Test.
The Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is held twice a year, in July and December.
In Stockholm, however, it is only offered in July, on the first Sunday of the month. If you wish to take the test in December, please check the websites of other hosting institutions in neighboring countries, such as those in Finland, Denmark, Norway, or Germany:

Examinees must keep all electronic devices turned off at all times during the test. Devices must remain turned off even during breaks.
If any device is found to be turned on or in use after the check-in time has ended, the examinee will be disqualified for misconduct.
