Japanese Test

Posted by isaacsol , 27 May 2009 - 12:25 PM

Okay, I have made 7 lessons so far on Japanese Language. They have covered a wide range of basic and more advanced language. Now you need to test yourself to make sure that you are processing the information that you have been learning. There are a few rules that should be mentioned first for when you attempt this test:

Intructions

• Do not refer back to the previous lessons, this defies the point of testing yourself.
• Do not use an automatic translation service such as Google, they are inaccurate and it is easy to spot if it has been used.
• All vocabulary will be provided for you.
• Whenever Kanji and Kana are used, rōmaji will also be given to aid those who cannot read it.
• Sections B and A will not have rōmaji when Kanji and Kana are used.
• There are 5 tiers of grading; A, B, C, D and E.
• Questions will start from Grade E and will increase in difficulty.
• There are 3 questions in Grades E and D, 4 in Grades C and B, and 3 in Grade A.
• There is a total of 17 Questions in this test. There are no aural questions in this exam.
• Each tier section will be marked so you know where you are in the exam.
• The more difficult a question, the more marks it is worth.
• Each question will have the marks available for that question in squared brackets.
• The test lasts for 45 minutes at maximum. You should use a stopwatch to time yourself. If you finish within the allotted time, check through your answers to correct any mistakes.
• When the time limit has been reached, cease all work on the exam. Though there will be no invigilators, I hope that you will not cheat as you will never learn this way.
• If you do not pass that exam, or you wish to get a better mark, you can take it again at any time.
• Write your answers in a PM to isaacsol (a button before the start of the exam which opens the PM window will be provided).
• When you write your answers, write the grade tier before each section of answers, then write the Question number followed by your answer (depending on the question, it will be a letter(s) or a piece of text).

Helpful Advice

• Do not take the test until you feel you are ready to take it.
• Revise over the previous lessons if you feel as if you are not ready.
• Do not stress yourself over this exam, it will not affect you badly in life.
• If you finish early, and you have checked your work and are sure that you have got everything right to the best of your abilities, feel free to send the answers to be marked.
• Good luck, and hopefully you will do well.
