What's the difference between the JPT and the JLPT?

The JLPT has five fixed levels (N5–N1) and a pass/fail result; the JPT gives one score from 10 to 990 with no levels, focusing on practical listening and reading. Both draw on the same core Japanese ability.

JPT: Japanese Proficiency Test

It emphasises listening and reading in real-world and workplace contexts. While it isn't level-based like the JLPT, the underlying kanji, vocabulary, grammar, and reading skills are the same — so Nihon Torii's free JLPT-graded practice builds the exact foundation a strong JPT score needs.
