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.
