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:
“Everything here below beneath the sun is subject to continual change; and perhaps there is nothing which can be called more inconstant than opinion, which turns round in an everlasting circle like the wheel of fortune. He who reaps praise today is overwhelmed with biting censure tomorrow; today we trample under foot the man who tomorrow will be raised far above us.”
—E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
“No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I’m not talking about the kids. Their behavior is always normal.”
—Bill Cosby (b. 1937)
