JPT reports a score, not a level
JPT is a Japanese-language test with a single scale. You do not register for a level: you answer all 200 questions and receive one score between 10 and 990 points, with no per-section minimum to clear. That is the opposite of JLPT, where you choose a level and must pass a threshold in every section. Because of that, a phrase such as "JPT level 1" does not exist, and what an employer or a graduate program actually lists is a required score. This page checks your score against that requirement and, only if you type in a row from a correspondence chart yourself, compares your score against that row too.
How the check works
The verdict is a plain comparison. If your score is equal to or above the required score, the requirement counts as met, and the difference is reported as points above or points short. The share of the requirement is your score divided by the required score, shown to one decimal place. Fill in both optional fields and the same comparison runs against the chart figure.
What this page does not do
It contains no built-in conversion chart, it does not assign a level, and it does not judge per-section minimums, because JPT has none. The score range shown is as of September 2026, and required scores differ by employer and by program, so always read the original announcement.

Yes. Requirements are normally written as "this score or above", so an exact match is treated as met and the gap is shown as 0 points.
