Subject Matter
The test is primarily a test of language proficiency, similar to the JLPT, but also integrates several subject tests. The specific subject tests required depend on the universities to which the test-taker is applying, but the possibilities as of the 2005 test are: Japanese as a Foreign Language, Science (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology), Japan and the World (a test of liberal arts reasoning ability), and Mathematics. Test-takers may not take both the Science and Japan and the World tests.

Famous quotes containing the words subject and/or matter:
“Experiences in order to be educative must lead out into an expanding world of subject matter, a subject matter of facts or information and of ideas. This condition is satisfied only as the educator views teaching and learning as a continuous process of reconstruction of experience.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“It is a purely relative matter where one draws the plimsoll- line of condemnation, and ... if you find the whole of humanity falls below it you have simply made a mistake and drawn it too high. And are probably below it yourself.”
—Frances Partridge (b. 1900)
