Japanese with listening!!!!

<p>Is the Japanese test difficult or easy? what shall I prepare before the test? And how much vocabulary is needed?</p>

<p>I would say that the hardest part of the test isn't the listening or grammar, but the KANJI. There's a whole bunch in there.
In terms of everything but the reading, it's really easy. Did you check the collegeboard website for sample questions?</p>

<p>I have checked the sampe questions but I heard some people say that the real test is quite different from the sample test....</p>

<p>Did any of you who've already taken the Japanese SAT subject test also take the Japanese AP test? How do they compare?</p>

<p>Well I took an official practice test from collegeboard, and I scored a 740 (which isn't great - I really need to study the Kanji.) In terms of the categories, it is split up into 3 - listening, reading comprehension, and grammar. I missed 1 on listening, 1 on grammar, and 5 on reading comprehension - totaling a -7 out of 80 questions.</p>

<p>The average score on that test is a 760!!</p>

<p>Does anybody know if there is a list of all the kanji that could appear on the test, or if it includes up to a certain grade level? Also, are there any books out that could help you prepare?</p>
