<p>I'll be taking SAT subject test - Japanese with listening this coming october..</p>
<p>Have no idea what's the range of knowledge that will be tested.. </p>
<p>Besides the CollegeBoard website and the official subject test guide, it seems there isn't any information on the jap test.</p>
<p>Has anyone taken before and could you please share about it with us??</p>
<p>Much thanks. :)</p>
<p>I think they only administer language listening exams during the November administration.</p>
<p>oh.. I put it wrongly..</p>
<p>thanks, will be taking in nov</p>
<p>if you are a native speaker, any SAT language test will be easy. because mostly native speakers take the test, the average for them are in the mid-high 700s.</p>
<p>I'll be taking it in November aswell... not a native speaker but have taken Japanese since freshman year and in the last year we've moved up to college-level books (the amazing ones where our chapters are based on such themes as "going to a bar" and the example sentences and activities include or involve smoking, drinking, and flirting hahaha...).</p>
<p>I'm thinking about taking it along with Spanish (grew up learning it along with English and am sort-of fluent, however, no academic experience in it) and was wondering what score would I need to impress an adcom in Japanese? I'm planning on applying to Georgetowns FLL school as a first choice.</p>
<p>The language curves are so harsh (because of native speakers) that anything above 700 for a non-native speaker is incredibly impressive, based on what I've seen.</p>
<p>How many kanji should we expect to need on the test?</p>
<p>....and how would you recommend practicing for the listening section?</p>
<p>たぶんjapanesepod101というポッドキャストを聞くの方がいいかもうしれない。そして、MITのネットの日本語の情業もすごいよ。ぜひ見てくれ。</p>
<p>I took the test my freshmen year. I lived in Japan for 6 years and am not a native speaker and after we came to U.S, my family rarely used Japanese in conversation, but I still scored 730 after 3 years abscence of Japanese. </p>
<p>I guess one thing you should concentrate on is the listening part because I missed more than I expected (although I did not prepare for the test at all). On the other hand, I did perfect on usage, and you only need to know like 3rd grade Japanese at most. You should definitely buy the subject tests book from collegeboard to see what kind of questions they ask and how good at listening you have to be. After that, watch some Japanese videos on youtube to study.</p>
