1. Arrive Early at the Exam Center
Reach your designated exam center at least 30 to 45 minutes before the reporting time. JLPT centers follow strict schedules, and late entries are not allowed under any circumstances. Early arrival gives you enough time to find your room, settle in, and calm your nerves before the test begins.

2. Bring a Valid Photo ID and Your Printed Test Voucher
Do not forget to carry a government-issued photo ID (like Aadhaar card, passport, driving license, etc.) that matches the name on your JLPT application. Additionally, you must carry the printed copy of your test voucher (exam hall ticket), which contains your roll number, room assignment, and reporting time.

3. Use Only HB Pencils for Answer Sheets
The JLPT is conducted using machine-readable answer sheets, so only HB pencils are permitted for marking answers. Mechanical pencils, pens, markers, and ink are strictly prohibited. Also, carry extra pencils and a good-quality eraser to avoid issues during the test.

4. Double-Check Your Exam Level and Time Slot
The JLPT exam is conducted in multiple shifts depending on the level (N1–N5). Carefully check the level and the shift (morning or afternoon) assigned to you on your test voucher. Reaching at the wrong time or for the wrong level may disqualify your attempt.

5. Revise with Official Sample Questions and Mock Tests
In the final days before the exam, go through official JLPT sample questions available on the JLPT website. These give you a clear idea of the question format, answer marking style, and time allocation. Practicing mock tests can improve your time management and accuracy on the real exam day.
