The Japanese Language Proficiency Test, or JLPT, is to the Japanese language what the TOEIC or TOEFL are to English, the best-known language assessment exam for non-native speakers. It has been held every year since 1984 in two semester sessions, one in July and the other in December. It is organized under the auspices of the Japanese Ministry of Education and the Japan Educational Exchange and Services (JEES).
The JLPT is also an international test that can be registered and taken from many countries, during a session that is generally held in December. With more than 600,000 candidates in 2010, the test is enjoying growing recognition in administrations, businesses, schools and universities throughout the archipelago. Thus, it has now become a benchmark for the level of language proficiency that is commonly found in job offers or the prerequisites for entering a qualifying course.
Tips for passing the JLPT test successfully
You are learning Japanese and you want to take a JLPT level soon. In order to put you on the right track, we offer you here a list of tips that, if implemented, could be useful for your preparation.
Organize your learning routine
To start, block out a time in your week just to work on your Japanese and stick to that promise. Discipline is at the heart of success. Break down the time you have left before the exam and divide the grammar points to cover, divide the number of kanji to learn by the number of weeks of learning you have given yourself. Organizing your learning cycles will allow you to learn efficiently. If you cram at the last minute, your learning will be useless and you will forget everything in a few days.
Make time for revision
If you follow the advice given above, you will soon have a study schedule in place. Within it, also think about setting up revision slots. They will be useful for consolidating your knowledge and ensuring that you are moving forward without forgetting everything you have already learned. Ideally, try to finish your learning schedule a little early so that you can dedicate the last few days or even weeks to your revisions.
10 Tips for Preparing for the JLPT Test
Find out about the program for the JLPT level you are aiming for
With a few relevant keywords, you should be able to find lists, lessons and documentation on kanji, grammar points and vocabulary you need to know before taking the JLPT quite easily.
Be careful, remember to check the reliability of your source and keep in mind that no list is infallible because there is no official list! Indeed, all lists are based on the recurrence of the elements during previous tests. The possibility of coming across an unlearned point does indeed exist.
Postpone the blocking points until later
The time until the test day goes by very quickly. Therefore, there is no point in spending two weeks on a sticking point. Also, if there is a grammar element that does not pass, a group of kanji that you systematically forget, move on to something else. Continue learning and move forward.
This is not about skipping some of the syllabus, but rather putting off the more complex ones to ensure you learn everything you can possibly learn before the JLPT exam. Once you have completed your syllabus, if you have any left, give some time to the more complex elements.
