Important Information
-the use of mobile phones and electronic devices and other information-

Starting from the December 2025 JLPT, the use of mobile phones and other electronic devices is strictly prohibited from the time examinees enter the test room (check-in) until the entire test has ended, including during breaks.

Electronic devices refer to any devices with communication or camera functions that allow data exchange via wireless or wired connections. This includes, but is not limited to, mobile phones, smartphones, smartwatches, personal computers, tablet devices, earphones, wearable devices, music players, IC recorders, and similar devices.

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.

Please note that if a device is turned on during breaks, this will also be considered misconduct and the test scores will be invalidated.

Bags and jackets must be placed in the designated area in your test room.

Eating and drinking are prohibited during the test. Food and drink must be placed in the designated area together with your bags and jackets.

Unfortunately, it will not be possible to purchase food on campus Frescati on the test day since the shops will be closed. Therefore, we advise that you bring your own food and drinks. However, there are vending machines where you may purchase small snacks and drinks.
