Not surprisingly, the official JLPT website does provide information on the scoring. The same explanation, printed on a separate sheet, also accompanies the certificate and official score reports. I can only guess that nobody really bothered to read it and understand its implications.
There are three parts of the score report that measure your performance: test scores (overall and sectional), percentile rank, and reference information. Of course, the most important information is the test score, and it ultimately determines whether you passed or failed.
Now, considering the above information, do you only need to pass roughly 30% of the items per section and 50% of the overall exam? If you think about it this way, such numbers signify incredibly low passing thresholds. This must mean that the JLPT is a walk in the park.
But that is a hasty and careless thought. Many test-takers have this misconception, so they tend to underestimate the test. This is because they interpret the numbers as raw scores, which are simply the total number of correct responses in the test.
Therefore, the figures on your score report DO NOT represent the number of correct items in the exam. To illustrate, the official mock exam for N3 has 39 items for Reading Comprehension, but the maximum score for that section is 60 points.
A scaled score is the result of converting a raw score onto a common scale using a statistical process that adjusts for differences in difficulty among different versions of the exam.
The primary purpose of scaled scores is to maintain comparability. Even with the best effort of experienced and expert test-makers, it is nearly impossible to develop a test that has a different set of questions while achieving the exact same level of difficulty as those in previous tests. As such, scaling is applied to address this limitation.
Consider this example: A group of students was given a difficult exam. Most of the students earned scores with a range of 40-60%. However, suppose the same group was given an easy exam instead. The resulting average range is now 80-100%.
This is why raw scores are prone to misinterpretation. Examinees with high Japanese proficiency may get low scores because of a difficult exam, while examinees with low proficiency may get high scores because of an easy exam.
The result is that the Japanese proficiency of examinees is independent of exam difficulty. This minimizes misinterpretations and inappropriate inferences. Thus, scores are measured more fairly and reliably.
Put simply in the context of test-taking, IRT analyzes the likelihood of getting a certain score (observed response) based on the ability of the examinee (underlying trait). Persons with high ability are more likely to answer correctly, while those with low ability are less likely to answer correctly.
Based on the answering pattern, the ability estimate is derived and is then translated into a scaled score through mathematical processes called scaling and equating. In the case of the JLPT, the scale is a set of numbers that ranges from 0 to 60 for one scoring section.
The percentile rank is a score that indicates your relative position among other test-takers who also took the same exam. It indicates the percentage of the test-takers who scored lower than you.
The percentile rank is useful in objectively comparing your performance in a specified group. In the JLPT, this group is represented by those who took the same level of the test for the six latest occasions.
If you took N3 in December 2021, then the group by which you are ranked will be composed of examinees who took the N3 exam since December 2018. Note that the JLPT for July 2020 was canceled in all test sites, so the range now includes the December 2018 exam.
As you can see in the preceding table, the average score of test-takers for all levels is about 5 to 10 points lower than the overall pass mark. Thus, more than half of the test-takers fail the exam. What does this mean for you?
Lastly, it is worth remembering that percentile ranks do not show equal intervals. For example, the difference between 90th and 95th percentiles typically shows a larger difference in proficiency than does the difference between 45th and 55th percentiles.
Since the JLPT reports scaled scores, we cannot determine actual raw scores. Thankfully, this reference information provides us insight as to raw scores, but it is only limited to the Language Knowledge section. Below are the criteria for raw scores:
For a detailed and side-by-side comparison between the old and new JLPT, please refer to the following links:
Comparison of test content and scope
Comparison of test sections, test time, and scores
The scores between the old and new versions of the JLPT cannot be compared. The main reason for this is the difference in scoring. The old JLPT uses raw scores, whereas the new JLPT uses scaled scores.
The old scoring system was much simpler because only raw scores determine pass or fail results. From 4-kyuu to 2-kyuu, total score should be at or above 60% to pass the test. For 1-kyuu, the minimum passing grade is higher, which is at 70%.
Yes, those who have the competence to pass the old JLPT can pass the new test. Using statistical analysis, the pass marks for the new test have been determined such that it closely matches the old test. This is explained on the FAQ page on the official JLPT website.
However, as we already know about scaled scores, getting a 60% raw score (or 70% for N1) does not necessarily guarantee a passing result, because other factors are considered in the complex scoring process. To be safe, you should aim for a higher raw score to secure a passing mark.
We could also use this information as a benchmark for evaluating mock exam scores during the JLPT review. When taking a full mock exam, your percent-correct score should be at or above the passing percentages of the old JLPT.
The overall pass mark is near or at the middle of the score range, but these are scaled scores. They are a measure of your ability, not the number of items answered correctly. If any, getting only half of the items correct will most likely lead to failure.
I have experienced this myself when I took N4. I was certain that I incorrectly answered a question in the Language Knowledge section when I confirmed this with my mentor and my classmates. In the end, I still got a perfect score.
This calculation is merely applying the percent-correct score with the maximum scaled score. Such simplistic and straightforward math is far different from the scaling process that is used to derive the final reported scores.
Whether one version of the test is more difficult than the other is a subjective opinion. But even if that is the case, the process of computing for scaled scores will make your test performance results comparable to previous and future versions of the JLPT. This is the beauty of scaled scores.
Some technical concepts were introduced in this article, but nevertheless, I hope you found them interesting. With this knowledge, you can now understand why the following points will encourage you to prepare intensively for test day:
I am preparing to take the jlpt studying by myself. I answered some test exams to define which level of the test to apply for but, if understood correctly, there is no way for me to know my score because each correct answer has a different amount of points. Am I right?

Halo, minasan ! Buat kamu yang tahun ini akan ikut ujian JLPT, gimana persiapannya, nih? Udah optimis bakal lulus belom? Pasti bisa dong, harus semangat, ya! Di artikel kali ini, Jellyfish akan membahas tentang strategi menjawab soal Moji-Goi JLPT N5 dan N4 yang bisa membantu kamu dalam menjawab soal-soal Moji-Goi (文字語彙) JLPT level N5 sampai dengan N4 dengan efektif.
Dalam pelaksanaan ujiannya, untuk level ujian JLPT N5-N4 dibagi menjadi tiga sesi yang pertama adalah sesi Moji-Goi (文字語彙) yang menguji tentang pengetahuan kanji dan kosakata, selanjutnya sesi Bunpou-Dokkai (文法読解) yang menguji kemampuan tata bahasa dan literasi, lalu sesi yang terakhir adalah Choukai (聴解) yang menguji kemampuan pendengaran. Materi Moji-Goi memang bisa dikatakan cukup sulit bagi kalian yang baru memulai belajar bahasa Jepang. Karena tidak seperti bahasa Indonesia yang menggunakan alfabet sebagai alat komunikasi non-verbal sehari-hari, bahasa Jepang menggunakan tiga aksara yaitu Hiragana (ひらがな), Katakana (カタカナ) dan Kanji (漢字).
