JLPT N1 Study Progress Update

Sorry for not posting recently. Work’s just been tight.

Anyway, I’ve started creating my Anki Reviewer Deck.
Man, there are a lot of public/shared decks in Anki. Wonder if anyone actually checked them…

Just in case you’re wondering which method I’m using, I went with old school because of my familiarity with it.

I also downloaded old JLPT L1 exams with the assumption that the Japanese used in it will be the same level with JLPT N1.

As of today, I still haven’t read/heard anything about the new Total Passing Score and the Passing mark for each Scoring Section. Wonder when they’ll be announcing it.

Anyway, last but not the least, I just learned that JLPT has a new logo. There were a total of 825 entries, and the winning entry was created by Mr. Kishita Yoshio from Ehime prefecture.

P.S.
Anki for the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad also already available. Price initially set at $24.99. I hope Damien Elmes (creator of Anki) will later consider lowering the price… to around $10.

Review Progress: Week 2

Hi, Just wanted to give a quick update on my progress.

I’m not quite happy w/ it, but progress is still progress.

I will be cutting my renshu lessons short and proceed w/ actual JLPT exams.

Will post my scores for each exam as I finish them.

For anyone interested in the copies of the previous JLPT exams (L2), just leave a comment or send me a mail at eastmaels [at] yahoo [dot] com.

Review Progress: Week 1

Just wanted to give an update on my current study/review progress.

I’m 4 days behind schedule so I need to catch up.

I also added speedanki for my kanji review for the sample sentences I need.

Besides being behind schedule, so far, there seems to be no problem w/ kanji review. I plan to finish it w/in this week and then proceed with JLPT practice exams (2005 to 2009) from 3/16.

Actual Internal exam will be on 3/27(Sat) or 3/28(Sun).
