Hi guys, I am an incoming freshman and I am thinking about taking Japanese in college.
Does any of you know the Japanese proficiency test? I actually have already passed N4
Can I take the second level Japanese (Japanese 003 )?
I passed the Level 4 test about 10 years ago. It looks like they’ve changed the test levels since then, and I don’t know how good your Japanese has to be to get to N4.
Anyway, since you haven’t provided the name of the school or a class description of Japanese 003, it’s impossible to advise you. You’re going to have to ask one of the Japanese instructors at the college where you can start out. I wouldn’t be surprised if they make you take some kind of test to measure your Japanese skills. Even though I passed the Level 4 exam, my Japanese is extremely rusty, and before I go to Japan, I always have to cram for two months to get back to where I was.
OK! Thank you so much for telling me this!
Agreed. Every college I looked at, even if they automatically provided placement guidance in languages like French and Spanish, required internal placement tests for Japanese.
