Yesterday I passed the exam for certification of knowledge of Japanese (Japanese language roficiency Test). It 's a question that takes place once a year around the world (the first Sunday in December) and includes four levels, from elementary (4th) to advanced (1). In Italy it can be argued in Rome and Milan. This was the last year for this system, next year there will be a new level between the current 3 ° and 2 ° for bridging the jump of difficulty it was there. The test consists of 3 parts, the first part of 35 minutes on Kanji and vocabulary. Then there is an even 35 minutes of sound understanding and ultimately 75 more minutes of grammar and comprehension of a text. The proof is long and stressful, the time available to me is too tight, are risucire to respond and relate to the answers shortly. I guess if you are good but there are problems with time for my neighbor's bench was a boy of 15 years the Japanese, he answered quickly and then slept on the bench.
The test began at 13:15 but we were asked to present at 12:00. After a check of the first and last name and an identity document you can sit Classroom in its place, the seats are assigned according to registration number. In Milan's Bocconi takes place in classrooms. A support level 3 180 were all in a classroom style lecture hall. Thanks to a good sound system for audio evidence of understanding of the dialogue took place without problems. The controls were very strict, there were 8 people in check during the course, was not allowed to have anything on the bench except rubber and pencil, nenache water for drinking. The thing that is not yet understood that if someone had played any device, even a wristwatch would be expelled. These industry professionals at the end of each test were checked and recounted everything! Questions and answer sheets (not allowed portare a casa nulla).
Elenco tutto quello che ho usato per lo studio che potrebbe essere utile a qualcun'altro. Ancora non posso dirvi se è efficace perchè il risultatò si saprà a Marzo.

'm not sure it went well but I am satisfied with the work done. Having a obbettivo helps to study more. I finally studied seriously and regularly, whereas before I was reading something from time to time.
