In order to pass, (1) total score needs to be at or above the overall pass mark and (2) score in each scoring section needs to be at or above the sectional pass mark. If there is even one scoring section where the score is below the sectional pass mark, examinees are determined to have failed, no matter how high the total score he/she might have. 合格点の設定について今の試験の合否判定水準は 統計分析の結果を踏まえ 2009 年までの試験 ( 旧試験 ) の合否判定水準と整合性をもつように設定されています これにより 旧試験の 1 級 2 級 3 級 4 級に合格できる日本語能力をもった受験者は それぞれ今の試験のN1 N2 N4 N5に合格できる日本語能力をもっていると解釈することが可能です 旧試験での対応級が存在しない N3については 旧試験の 2 級と3 級の合否判定水準における日本語能力レベルを統計学的に分析し 旧試験の 2 級と3 級の合否判定水準の間に N3の合格点が収まるように設定されています Setting Passing Points The passing standard for the current test is based on statistical analysis and designed to match that of the test through 2009 (old test). Examinees able to pass Levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the old test are judged to have the ese-language proficiency to be able to pass N1, N2, N4 and N5 in the current test. As for N3, there was no corresponding level in the old test, and passing scores for N3 are designed to fall between the passing standards of the old test s Levels 2 and 3, based on statistical analysis of ese-language proficiency levels for passing these levels. 7
尺度得点について 2010 年から導入された 尺度得点 とは 受験者の日本語能力と試験結果 ( 得点 ) を より公平に対応づけるため 共通の尺度 ( ものさし ) に基づいて表示した得点です 尺度得点を利用することで いつの試験を受験したかにかかわらず 常に同一の基準の下で日本語能力を測定することが可能になります 以下に尺度得点の利点と算出過程について説明します 尺度得点の利点 試験問題の難易度を異なる試験の間で完全に一定に保つことは 試験問題作成の過程において専門家による綿密な分析 検討を経たとしても極めて困難です このため 受験者が正答した問題の配点を単純に加算する 素点 をテスト得点とすると テスト得点は試験の難易度に依存することになります 受験の時期が異なり 試験問題の難易度が異なっている場合には 同じ日本語能力の受験者であってもそれぞれの試験のテスト得点は同一にはなりません そのため 素点で受験者の日本語能力を表した場合には 試験問題の難易度に影響を受け 素点が日本語能力の実態を適切に反映しなくなる可能性について考慮しなければなりません これに対して 尺度得点 には 試験の難易度と独立して日本語能力を評価し 統一の尺度に基づいて数値化できる という 能力測定の方法論上 大変有益な特長があります この特長により 受験者の日本語能力が同じならば いつの試験を受験しても 同一のテスト得点を返すことが可能になっています 尺度得点の導入により 同じレベルならば 2 つの異なる試験で算出された 尺度得点の差 を 日本語能力の差 として 試験の難易度から独立して解釈することが可能になります 尺度得点の算出過程 試験の難易度に依存しないテスト得点 ( 尺度得点 ) を算出する具体的な手続きは 項目応答理論 (Item Response Theory; IRT) という統計的テスト理論に基づいています この手続きは 正答数に基づいたテスト得点 ( 素点 ) の算出法とは全く異なります 尺度得点は どの問題にどのように解答しているか ( 正答か誤答か ) すなわち 解答のパターン によって数理的に決定されます 例えば 10 問 ( 項目 ) の試験問題で構成される試験では 最大で 1024 通り (2 10 通り ) の解答パターンが存在します 日本語能力試験の尺度得点算出の過程では これらの解答パターンに基づいて受験者の日本語能力を ひとつの得点区分につき 0~60 点 (N4 N5 の 言語知識 ( 文字 語彙 文法 ) 読解 では 0~120 点 ) の尺度上に位置付けていきます 10 問の場合で最大で 1024 通りある解答パターン ( 実際の試験ではもっと多くなります ) を 61 のグループに分類するのですから 互いに異なる解答パターンに対して 同一の尺度得点になる場合も生じてきます したがって ある 2 名の受験者について 互いに正答数や解答パターンは違っていても 尺度得点が同一になる場合もあります 逆に 正答数は同一であっても解答パターンが異なるため 尺度得点が異なる場合もあります 尺度得点の算出過程に関する詳細については下記の文献を参照してください 文献 池田央 (1994) 現代テスト理論 朝倉書店豊田秀樹 (2002) 項目反応理論 [ 入門編 ] - テストと測定の科学 - 朝倉書店渡辺直登 野口裕之 ( 編 )(1999) 組織心理測定論 - 項目反応理論のフロンティア - 白桃書房 ー 8 ー
Scaled Scores Scaled scores that have been adopted in 2010 are based on a common scale in order to make test results (scores) correspond to examinees ese-language proficiency in a more fair manner. Scaled scores enable measurement of ese-language proficiency based on the same consistent standard regardless of when the test is taken. The advantages and calculation method of scaled scores are summarized below. Advantages of scaled scores Perfectly maintaining the level of difficulty of questions among different tests is extremely difficult even if thorough analysis and discussion by experts are conducted during the question design phase. With raw scores, which are obtained simply by adding the allocated points of correctly answered questions, test scores are dependent on the difficulty of exams. When exam timing and difficulty of exam questions differ, test scores will vary for examinees with the same ese-language proficiency. Since examinees ese-language proficiency as expressed in raw scores is affected by the difficulty of exams, it is necessary to consider the possibility that raw scores do not appropriately reflect actual ese-language proficiency. On the other hand, scaled scores hold great benefit for proficiency measurement methodology the ability to evaluate ese-language proficiency independently from exam difficulty and quantify it based on a standard scale. This characteristic allows examinees with the same ese-language proficiency to receive the same scores regardless of when they take the test. The introduction of scaled scores also allows the difference in scaled scores calculated for two different tests to be interpreted separately from exam difficulty as the difference in ese-language proficiency as long as exams are for the same level. Calculation method of scaled scores Calculation of test scores not affected by the difficulty of exams (scaled scores) is based on a statistical test theory called Item Response Theory (IRT). This is completely different from calculation of raw test scores based on the number of correct answers. Scaled scores are determined mathematically based on answering patterns of how examinees answer particular questions (correctly or incorrectly). For example, a test consisting of 10 questions (items) has a maximum of 1024 answering patterns (2 10 patterns). For the scaled-score calculation process for the JLPT, based on these answering patterns ese-language proficiency of examinees is positioned on a scale between 0 and 60 points for one scoring section (0-120 points for Language Knowledge [Vocabulary/Grammar] & Reading for N4 and N5). Because the maximum 1024 answering patterns of a test consisting of 10 questions (actual exams have more questions) are categorized into 61 groups, scaled scores sometimes become identical for different answering patterns. Therefore, scaled scores can be identical for two examinees even when the number of questions they correctly answer or their answering pattern does not match. On the other hand, scaled scores may not be identical even though the number of correctly answered questions is the same when answering patterns are different. For more details on the calculation method of scaled scores, please refer to the following references. References Ikeda, H. (1994) Gendai Tesuto Riron [Modern Testing Theory].

6. 尺度得点累積分布図 Cumulative Distribution of Scaled Scores 受験者を尺度得点の低い方から高い方へ昇順に並べることを考えます このとき 全受験者数に占める任意の得点未満の受験者の割合を求め これに 100 を掛けた値を パーセンタイル順位 と呼びます パーセンタイル順位を利用することで 受験者集団の中で自分がどの位置にいるかを客観的に把握することができます 例えば パーセンタイル順位が 20 であるならば 受験者集団の中で得点の低い方から数えて 20% の位置に 50 であるならば受験者集団のちょうど中心に 100 であるならば受験者集団のトップに それぞれ位置づけられると解釈します 下図は 尺度得点とパーセンタイル順位の対応関係を示しています ( 累積分布図と呼びます ) このグラフと合否結果通知書に記載されている尺度得点を利用することで 各試験における受験者のパーセンタイル順位を概算することができます また 尺度得点はいつの試験を受験しても同じ能力であれば同じ得点になるので このグラフを使って 違う回の試験の得点の分布を比較することが可能です これにより 各回の試験の受験者集団の傾向について詳細な考察が可能になります 2016 年第 1 回 (7 月 ) 分より 日本語能力試験結果の概要 に掲載する尺度得点累積分布図については 海外で受験した合格者 ( 聴解免除を除く ) の成績証明書に表示されるパーセンタイル順位に即し 今回の試験を含む過去 6 回分のデータを利用します Consider the case in which examinees are sorted in ascending order of scaled scores. Then, the percentage of examinees with a score below any point out of the total number of examinees is calculated, and the value obtained by multiplying the percentage by 100 is called percentile rank. The percentile rank allows an individual to objectively understand his or her position among a group of examinees. For example, from a percentile rank of 20, an individual can infer that his or her position is 20% above the lowest score among a group of examinees. With a percentile rank of 50, he or she is in the middle of the group, while 100 indicates being at the top of the group. The chart below (called a cumulative distribution map ) shows the correspondence between scaled scores and percentile ranks. By using this chart and scaled scores given in the Score Report, the percentile rank of examinees in each test can be estimated. In addition, because scaled scores for the same proficiency are the same regardless of when the test is taken, distributions of scores from different test times can be compared using this chart. This enables detailed analysis of tendencies of examinee groups at each testing occasion. Starting with the July 2016 issue of the JLPT Summary of the Results, the cumulative distribution of scaled scores uses the data of the six latest tests including this test, in line with the percentile rank indicated on the certificate of examinees who passed the test overseas (excluding those who were exempt from the Listening section). グラフの見方 右のグラフでは 例えば90 点をとった受験者のパーセンタイル順位は60です これは その人の下に全受験者の60% がいるということを表しています 尺度得点累積分布図 (N1) Cumulative Distribution of Scaled Scores(N1) Interpreting the chart The right chart shows, for example, the percentile rank of an examinee with 90 points is 60. This means that 60% of all examinees are under him/her. 17
