Hi, I am thinking of doing the JLPTN2 this year (been thinking for a few years, but this year i really am going to do it).

Who else is planning to take the N2 in Dec? Can we form a study group? Go over past papers (I think I have all of them from 94 to last year's), share study materials, flahs cards (i love flash cards), etc...?

I think it'll be helpful. 4 months left, I'm going to start studying, like RIGHT NOW! XD

Too lazy to update this post, follow me @jlptn2 as i update my study material. (I am still interested in a study group though!)

My vocab e-flashcard project (coming very slowly! I will get to all 6000 vocabs before the test! shh!)

Please sign up with an account with livemocha.com. To use the flashcards, click "Review" at the top. The primary text is in hiragana, alternative text are in kanji. (the alternative text you can choose to disable）. For N2, you are required to know almost 80% of the kanji listed, so may as well know them. haha).

Awesome! And great idea!
I would be all over this except that my Kanji needs some serious work (probably N5 right now!) Something I gotta get under my belt before I can even look at the N2 tests. Never mind grammar...
Like you I think, I've been wanting to put N2 to rest for a while now but wanting to doesn't see to equate too well to actually doing. Any tips on harnessing the powers of motivation would be appreciated!

Why can't they have the exams in May or something, instead of placing crunch time pressure on sunny beach-worthy summer days!

4 months ka...

"Motivation" <- actually sign up for the test, then you'll start studying and panicking! XD
I think registration doesn't start till sept.

Hi guys!

I'm thinking of taking JLPT N2 this year too - a little nervous about it because I haven't taken any of the previous exams before, so I don't really know what to expect. I just came back from living in Japan for a year though so I'm hoping that would help ... :P

Is anyone interested in forming a study group maybe?
