Exams, Exams, Exams!

This is a busy period. After taking the Java Programming Exam, This week on Thursday we had the Trial Test for the upcoming Exam of Japanese JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) that will be on December 6th.

This year I'm going to take level 3. Is not difficult, since I've been living in Japan for about 9 months and my attendance has been of 99.72%. Yes, you read right, we get the attendance recorded up to two decimals. The reason why was not 100% is that I got to school 7 times late (but always below 10 minutes) which translates in a lost hour every 4 times being late.

Even with my attendance nearly reaching 100% I have difficulties keeping up with my fellow classmates from China and Taiwan. Koreans Score quite high, too. I was surprised about it, until I found out that Kanji are Used in Korea too, in addition to their writing system. If you want to know more, here an article.

The reason I'm taking Level 3, is that for this level, only knowlege of 300 Kanjis is required. For Level 2, the kanji knowledge required, goes up to 1,000.

After the latest Test on December 6th, I will finally have some easy time until January...
