I've just done my application for December. Arrghh! A lot of people have said that I should have gone for N4 but I was useless at the sample test Sad

I just came across a number of Kanji I couldn't recognise and thought, maybe July. Smile

Anyway, I've got myself a few N5 books and will continue to use http://iknow.jp/home to get my vocab sorted as well as Minna I and II. What will everyone else do?

It's possible to apply for the test in December already?
I'll be going for N1 this year to see how difficult it is compared to N2, though the results of the July test only come in September.

PS: General posts like this should be posted in General.

Where did you get a working link. Also where are you taking the test, I always do better when I take test with a friend.

I'll be taking the test in December. I am waiting a few days to mail my registration, though, so it will fit the time window and the money in the bank. I'm excited for it, though!

I have registered for the JLPT N5 this December.

I will be writing the test at York University in Toronto Ontario Canada.

Now it is a race to get my Japanese up to a standard where I can pass the test.

If you are in North America and wish to write any level then York University in Toronto Ontario Canada is an option.

The 2011 JLPT will be held on December 4, Sunday at York University.
The application period is from September 1 to October 7.
No late submission is accepted.
Only on-line application will be accepted.

I registered for N5 in December in New York. If anyone in the area wants to team up for last-minute boot camp, I am up for it. I am taking classes at The Japan Society in NYC (general Japanese, not JLPT-specific).
I believe in Heisig's method of memorizing Kanji, so I am using http://kanji.koohii.com/ to study and review. The books that I use are Genki 1 and one of JLPT N4-5 test books I picked up from Kinokuniya.
