The examinee has mastered grammar to a relatively high level, knows around 1,000 kanji and 6,000 words, and has the ability to converse, read, and write about matters of a general nature. This level is normally reached after studying Japanese for around 600 hours and after completion of an intermediate course.

How are you guys feeling? Test time is coming damn soon. I've been really hitting the books recently and hopefully I'll be able to pull it off. If not, I'm not to worried about it though. Just have to take it as it comes.

Thats an excellent point actually, and the reason I failed twice. If it was an oral test where you go in and chat kansai-ben with the guy scafe.
Unfortunately... it requires a bit of study :( Oh well, not like I have a job or anythin takin up my time!

um, natural japanese is absolutely no help for this, believe me. The japanese they test on the 2kyu is so fucking out of and complicated crap that you really dont need to hold a conversation here. I had some j-friends look over it, and they were like "what the fuck is this shit? no one talks like that, and no one says that, and fuck i dont know that kanji.."
point is, dont stress about failing something as useless as 2kyu

Do I sign up and take this again, for a third time, after missing it last year by 1%!!!! Real kick in the balls that was...
and this time i'll be in London, with no natural Japanese study around me...
