Japanese Language Proficiency Test

[DragonmasterX]

I think the registration period is within these 2-3 months, anyone else signing up for it? I'm aiming for level 1. Two years ago, I failed level 2 by 2.5%. And I've improved a lot since then, so I think I'm good for level 1 this coming December.

I think those that can read visual novels fine - with minimal use of a dictionary - should be, at the least, capable of passing JLPT2. Anyone agree? Disagree?

I'm taking level 2 this December. I took some practice problems in my 3rd year Japanese class and did horribly. Thus why I gotta study hard for it over summer...

I'd like to give level 3 a shot, but I've got a sinking feeling that the nearest test center is going to be a 4.5 hour drive from here. What's the website address with all the registration information and test locations?

Hmm....in my case, another year may be recommended before even Level 4.

I have serious doubts I would pass JLPT2, mostly because I find myself that reading is a lot easier than listening and composition.

Composition? Unless the test has drastically changed in the last two years, there is absolutely no composition involved. As for listening, I guess you don't often watch anime or Japanese drama without subtitles? Then again, if you score a perfect grade on the other sections, and get a 0 on the listening section. That's still over 70%, a passing grade.

If I remember correctly, passing for level 2 is over 60%, and 70% for level 1.

Wow, check out today's JLPT1 vocabulary:

堤防 ていぼう bank; weir(seen a million times in Air)

See how educational visual novels can be?!

*shakes head* Although, they need to update their bookstore list, they only list the West Coast (San Francisco serviced) Kinokuniya Books. There's one here in NYC that I went to a few weeks ago.

Doesn't BookWeb have two flavors for US? West coast and east coast?

Yes they do.

Gah registration starts on Aug 1, 2006. How fast do these things usually fill up?

I don't know about other countries, but in Argentina the comment for Level 2 is :

"Nivel medio-alto de gramática. Conocimiento de 1.000 kanji y 6.000 vocablos aprox. Capacidad para conversar, leer y escribir acerca de cualquier tema en general."

Bold : Capacity to speak, read and write about any topic in general.
And I know for sure you at least have to write a small text about, say, your holiday.

And yeah, it's 70% for level 1, 60% for the rest.
