Conversational level Japanese is when you can have a decent conversation about almost any topic in Japanese and be able to convey your ideas to the person you are speaking with. You don't have to be fluent, just able to convey basic ideas. Fluency will come after much practice in speaking the language on a daily basis.

When I lived in Japan, it was said that a person could be considered "fluent" if he/she could conduct of all their daily business, like going to the supermarket, the post office, riding the trains, purchasing something, paying their rent and bills, etc., all in Japanese regardless of their level or whether their Japanese was a little "broken" at times.

I knew some foreigners who had a far lower level of the written and spoken language than myself, but they were still able to live comfortably and conduct their daily business.

One need not take a test to judge their level of fluency or conversational ability unless it is required for work or something.
