JLPT2 Practice Test #1
By thomas on Aug 30, 2008 in Japanese
I took my first practice test for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) level 2 the other day. I scored a 70%. To pass, you need 60% or above, so I passed! My goal is to pass the real test with 90% or above. The test is in December so I only have a couple of months to work on it.
My weak point was the listening section (50%). I also missed a few on the reading section because I ran out of time and had to circle answers randomly. Stil, the fact that I passed on my first try gives me some confidence.

Congratulations!!
I have a plan to take Jlpt 2 level test this year, but I am still not good enough to pass. So I have to test myself. Do you know from where I can get a full set of practice test in internet (free)?

Congrats man! Really good. For listening, what I did: just watching heaps of series and the news. The news is one thing that will help you a lot. And I mean just listening hours and hours. But as you live in Japan I don’t see any problem.
Good luck with preparing for the real test.

Well done Thomas, I passed the level 2 test a couple of years ago, but failed the level one test most recently. It was a really good experience, especially since the test is so well broken down into the various sub-skills of language. The only thing they’re missing of course is spoken discourse.

Woo hoo!
Any plans on taking JLPT 1 next year? :)

@Koichi: I’m not sure if I’m going to take level 1 next year or not. It depends how well I do on level 2 this year, whether I think I have enough time to prepare, and whether I am up for another round of studying for the JLPT. I doubt I’ll take it in the summer. Winter, maybe. I’ll probably decide next summer.

@Thomas if you are going to do them one year after the other, the level 1 is that hard that I would suggest studying for 2 as though you are studying for 1 now. It takes a really concerted and continuous effort. Either way go for it!
@koichi I’m not going to attempt it until I get back to Japan, I want to have more complete base in Kanji, both reading and writing.
