The next J.TEST Test of Practical of Japanese (J.TEST実用日本語検) is being held on April 16 and the application deadline is March 22. Perhaps taking a dig at the JLPT the official website explains that the J.TEST "effectively gauges practical proficiency in Japanese".
The test is not pass/fail. like the JLPT but operates like TOIEC, awarding a grade based on a score out of 1000.
To get the application form contact the J.TEST Office via its website. Most of the site is in Japanese but there is a lone English page which despite uninspiring spelling ("J-TEST Measuring Practical Efficiensy in Japanese") has a decent explanation of what the J.TEST is all about.
The application costs 2,800 yen for the higher A-D Level test and just 2,300 yen for the lower E-F level.
The next two J.TESTs will be held on June 11 and September 10
