Students who intend taking the JLPT while on Exchange should go to http://www.jees.or.jp/jlpt/en/jlpt_guide.html  for details of application deadlines,test sites, contents of tests etc.

Preparation for the JLPT should begin early in order to obtain best possible results.

Study materials and samples of past tests are readily available at bookstores in Japan

JLPT FAQ's (in Japanese only) go to http://www.jees.or.jp/cgi-bin/jlpt-faq.cgi

There are absolutely no options for acceptance of entry forms after the deadline date which is advertised on the jees website and stated in the application package.  It is the sole responsiblity of the exchange student to ensure that they do not miss the application deadline date.
