The National Japanese Exam (NJE) is an online, proficiency-oriented, standards-based and culture-related assessment tool for middle (junior), high school, and college students who are studying Japanese as a second language. It was developed by AATJ (American Association of Teachers of Japanese) as a way for such students to test their Japanese skills and participate in a nation-wide exam with awards for high achievement. The NJE also helps teachers see students’ strengths and weaknesses in certain areas. Teachers can use the results to give various school-level awards to students (participation certificates and medals) to highlight the success of their Japanese programs. Taking the NJE can also serve as a preparation for high school students who are planning to take other exams such as the JLPT, Japanese AP, IB, or SAT tests in the future. The NJE is an entirely online test that teachers administer to students via a “Quia” platform provided by AATJ.

The 2014 exam administration period will be from March 3 - April 11, 2014.

Registration for the 2014 exam is now open. You can register your students at http://www.quia.com/njeorder
