I don't think I'll take it this year... Is registration still open? I really wanted to take 2級 but I haven't been studying since I graduated college. X___X Would it be worth it to take 3級, do you think?
I'm frantically trying to get ready for 2級. Still way behind on Kanji. It's my first time taking any JLPT test so I reckon it'll be good experience whatever the outcome.
Not to worry, I'm also way behind with my 1級 kanji. Kanji is main area I'm focusing on this year. I'll look at grammar in the last couple of weeks along with some past papers, but plan on skipping listening practice this time around.
Ben is it your first time taking 1級? 50% is a pretty good target to aim for.
ダイアナさん、
Good luck with level 3. I wasn't aware that level 2 was accepted at Japanese universities! I've got level 2 but I'm sure taking lectures in Japanese would be a struggle.
I'm also preparing for the 1級...
Though I was able to pass the 2級 last year, I don't think that I'll manage to pass this one Maybe I should also take the 50% as my target.
By the way, 2級 is not enough to enter a japanese university From what I know, you must take the JASSO and it has nothing to do with the JLPT anymore.
But to catch up with the lessons, I think that it is really necessary to have at least a proficiency in japanese that is equal to the 1級.
->I also want to study in Japan (as an undergraduate student)
I was planning on taking 2級 this year but I had A LOT to work on especially listening wise so I decided against it. I think I might of been able if I studied everyday but the stress that will come along with studying for JLPT and my finals (taken around the same time) would probably be too much.
But I will definitely take it next year.
Right now I am just focusing on reading when I have spare time and watching dramas/anime without subtitles
I'm taking 3級! My kanji's only MAYBE at 400 and I'd rather take a test I know I can do well on than kill myself over a test I can only hope for 60% at best on.
