Jialat siaz...no TYS...>.<...N they are not planning to release it either...

 

[ahmahippo]

wow... meaning the new system must be real hard.

 

[dimitri_can]

yes. it's real high.. Will really prove if you are of standard. haha

 

[Adventia]

The already low passing rate will become very low liaoz...>.<...
I wonder when are they gonna release sample questions for people to take a look at the standard and question structure of the new syllable.

 

[dimitri_can]

I was told, that the marks for the questions will now be based on the difficulty of the question.

yah.. if my jap teacher is not wrong...

think there won't be like JLPT style "10 questions, 4 marks each" type
but is like "question 1 -> 2 marks / question 2 -> 3 marks / question 10 -> 4 marks" type....

 

[Adventia]

I was told, that the marks for the questions will now be based on the difficulty of the question.

In a way that is a better assessment of the examinees' abilities.
The higher standard it is,the more recognized our certificate will be...that is if one pass the test...>.<.

 

[dimitri_can]

Nope. It will not be i guess... Maybe like qns 1, you have 2 marks sub-questions, 3 marks sub-questions,etc

Hmm. Agreed in a sense... But let us all go back down to the most basic thing, why are you studying Japanese?

 

[ahmahippo]

wow.... like this very hard one

 

[Adventia]

Hmm. Agreed in a sense... But let us all go back down to the most basic thing, why are you studying Japanese?

OK...>.<...i might be implying that the cert is very important.
But this is definitely not the case.
It is more important to learn the language because you want to and love to.Else for the sake of 1 piece of paper learn the language also pointless.
The reason why i say more recognized is partly for cases whereby abilities are assessed by qualification.

 

[dimitri_can]

In outside company, like my current one. They don't really care what your level is.. They test your speaking skills. Like mine, i went through 3 rounds of interviews by Japanese to get my current job

 

[Kage82]

Anybody knows what is the points allocation per question for the different sections of JLPT2?
