JLPT Exam Centers in Chicago
Quick answer: Midwest U.S. JLPT option via the AATJ host network. We do not publish a fake permanent address list — your voucher or local admission notice is the source of truth for the building and room.
How registration works in Chicago
Register through AATJ for the Chicago-area site when offered that sitting.
Logistics checklist
- CTA + campus walk buffers on Sunday schedules.
- Winter storms cancel more plans than grammar — watch weather.
- Pack pencils and an analog watch.
What to pack
- Admission ticket / voucher from the local host
- Passport or the photo ID the host requires
- HB pencils, eraser (sleeve off), analog watch
Universal room rules almost everywhere: pencils only, phone off and out of reach, no smartwatches, nothing on the desk except voucher/ID tools the proctor allows. Listening is usually shared speakers — practice with once-only audio.
