Best of luck to everyone who took / will take the JLPT! Hope everyone does well. I’m planning on starting with N5 next July, and see where I go from there.

試験は終わりました！
I have to admit, I kinda pity the poor people in America who haven’t even woken up yet, never mind started. =P I’ve been sworn to secrecy with threats of having my results canceled if I say anything about the content of the test, though. I thought I did pretty well, but I have to admit I struggled a bit with the listening section. It didn’t really help that there was someone sitting right behind me who rustled the test booklet for like thirty seconds between each question, even when there wasn’t a page turn needed. Dear person: it’s not all that hard to turn a page quietly, and even if you can’t, it doesn’t take that long.
Did the test!
Actually it wasn’t too bad, I was okay with it, besides the listening, which I struggled with.
I was the only under eighteen at mine! I got some funny looks!
Joel, I know what you mean! Before and after every section we were told if we told anyone anything we would be completely disqualified! Where do you live you were done so early?I think I will pass anyway! It takes ages for the test to arrive!
I will attempt N3 in July!
I’m in Australia. There was a girl of about eight or ten at my test. =)
I was told the July test wasn’t available to people outside of Japan. Thinking of doing N3 next December, though. Gonna have to brush up somewhat on my listening skills before then, I think. Not entirely sure how…
But if you told people just now, right here, how would they know? :P I don’t want to know since I’m not taking the test, but I just wondered.
Joel, you’re right – the JLPT is given in July only in Japan. Doh! That’s kind of a bummer. Well, I guess I get more time to study until next December.

Some places around the world it is held 2 times year, check the link to figure it out :)
Joel, the test is twice a year in London. So no, not crazy!
Oh hey, it’s on twice a year in New Zealand but not Australia. Feeling kinda shafted now. Not that I was actually planning to do it in July, though…
Got my results the other day.
=D
Congrats Joel!
I’ve looked at JLPT a few times and can’t quite get an idea of how advanced it is, even the first exam.
How advanced do you have to be to take the first exam?
Roughly, how long should you have been studying for before you’d ready for the first exam?Congrats Joel! (^_^)b You passed N3, right?
vanandrew, check out this site: http://www.jlptstudy.net/. You should get a general idea about what you need to know there.
