Kanji Kentei

Last February, on Friday 13th, I took my second formal Japanese test since I arrived in Japan. My first test didn't go well, possibly because I had done absolutely no study before hand! So this time I decided to study.

I took the Kanji Kentei test (日本漢字能力検定), level 10. It tested my knowledge on the first 80 kanji's reading and writing.

I heard in March that I had passed, but I just got handed my certificate today. I got 88%. The pass mark is 80%.


I now possibly have the kanji ability of a 7 year old Japanese child! Yeah!
