The obligation of test takers and exam users

Test takers of the Japanese Language NAT-TEST are not allowed to lie, cheat, steal or engage in any other dishonest behavior when taking the exam or any other time that they are dealing with the exam or exam material. All test takers are obligated to provide a picture of themselves, which will be printed on your application ticket for identification purposes. Exam proctors will also verify your identity on exam day with your application ticket and a valid photo ID.

If we confirm a violation of the NAT-TEST Code of Honor

If there is a confirmed violation of the Japanese Language NAT-TEST Code of Honor, which may include but is not limited to engaging in impersonation to take the exam for someone else, falsifying score reports or certificates of proficiency, etc., the NAT-TEST administration committee will invalidate all exam results related to the registered test taker. There will also be no reimbursement of any examination fees. The NAT-TEST administration committee will also bar the test taker in question from any further use of the NAT-TEST.
