📌 What is the BJT?
The Business Japanese Proficiency Test (BJT) is a globally recognized language qualification designed specifically to evaluate one’s real-world communicative ability in professional Japanese environments.

The BJT uses a scaled score system (0–800 points) and categorizes results into six proficiency levels (J5 to J1+), where J1+ represents near-native fluency in a corporate context.
