Japanese Language Proficiency Test Results

JLPT Logo

Results are now out for the 2007 Japanese Language Proficiency Test held last December. I passed 3rd Grade in 2001 which seems like a very long time ago now, and this time I passed 2nd Grade which made me really happy. Third time lucky! 2nd grade is quite a step up from 3rd grade and required quite a lot of study for me to pass. Not using Japanese at work means there is quite a large swath of vocabulary that I don’t use in my normal life. It would be nice to use more Japanese at work - that would help improve my Japanese I think.

I think I will have a go at 1st Grade this year - and that is an even bigger leap than that from 3rd to 2nd grades. But they only hold the test once a year, and having missed the exam a couple of times travelling and whilst living in Xinjiang I don’t want to miss it this year. I don’t imagine I will have enough time to study all the kanji that are necessary to pass (you need 2000!) this year, but at least taking the exam gives one something to aim for and is good for ones motivation.

I just had a look at the website for the JLPT, and this years application period has not been posted yet. But if past years are anything to go by the application period for the 2008 JLPT will be around August.

    hey congratulations psymeg!

  6. hip hop hooray!

  7. Congratulations! I know waiting for two months must have not been easy.

    I will say though, using Japanese at work doesn’t seem to help with the JLPT really. When I firsted attempted it I was defeated by lack of vocab. I think the only way to get that vocab is reading magazines and editorials in newspapers and what not.

  8. Congratulations! My dalliance in Chinese at Auckland University wilts at such linguistic victories! From all my friends studying Japanese, they view the level you are at as being beyond bloody difficult.
