rand(): JLPT: The aftermath
http://mauriceberk.blogspot.com/2010/01/jlpt-aftermath.html
Friday, 8 January 2010. This update is dedicated to Toby for being possibly the only person interested in reading my blog! I know you're all dying to know how the JLPT went in the end, and why I've been so quiet with the updates. Well, the answer is I'm just not sure. In the days leading up to the exam I bit the bullet and bought the 2007. Past papers from the Japan Centre. Because anyone who tried to take advantage of my previous post. Identifying the reading of a given Kanji in a given context. Have a ...

Thursday, 25 February 2010. I was pleasantly surprised to see my JLPT results had turned up the other day, slightly ahead of the originally forecasted some-time-in-March. The fact they came in a DO NOT BEND envelop pretty much ruined the surprise as it was clear there was a certificate inside! Here's the all important score report:. 312 / 400 is 78% which is a very comfortable pass (60% being the pass mark). As anticipated, the listening section was my weakest. How did everyone else do?

Wednesday, 13 January 2010. Where to buy Investors Chronicle? About 2 minutes from my house - stocks Investors Chronicle, along with a bewildering array of other UK and international magazines. Highly recommended if you live in the area. I've recently developed an interest in spread betting. And investing which frankly deserves a blog post all to itself. This. Particular post, however, is concerned with the magazine Investors Chronicle. Put aside any criticism of my motivation for wanting to get my hands...

Monday, 19 April 2010. I've recently been brushing up on my game theory and computer science and I came across a website called Academic Earth. Which I thought deserved some free publicity. You can watch, completely free of charge, lectures from MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale on a wide range of subjects. In my currently limited experience, the quality is generally high - I've been enjoying Benjamin Polak's course on game theory. Thursday, 1 April 2010. On the subject of MathML.

Thursday, 29 October 2009. Passing JLPT Level 4 in 38 Days. A while ago I (foolishly) signed up for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 4 without actually knowing any Japanese. Counting today, I now have 38 days until the test date, 6th December, and I still don't know any Japanese. I exaggerate slightly. I've worked my way through about 200 frames of Remembering the Kanji Vol. 1. The problem is that all of this is scant preparation for the JLPT Level 4. Those 200 kanji I learnt from RTK? This i...

Thursday, 26 November 2009. JLPT Past Exam Papers - All Levels, with Audio Files! Big shout out to nihonhacks.com. For pointing me in the direction of past exam papers for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. You can download past papers for all levels going back until 1991 and here. Are mp3 files for the listening section. Ideally what I need is transcripts of the listening sections for all of the past papers I've now downloaded but these seem impossible to get hold of. 4 July 2015 at 08:54. Im looki...
