JLPT revisited

After having skipped last year's, I'm in for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test level 2 next December 3rd. I will need to try and do some studying until then, but hopefully everything I've learnt in my daily life since two years ago will be enough to get me that extra 1%. I just really need to remember to skip that long text in the reading part and first answer the shorter questions. Oh and I'd like to aim for a bit higher than just 60% too. Could 75% be within my reach? Hmm...

The way to apply is pretty straight-forward, first you buy the application form for ¥500 at a participating bookstore listed on the JLPT site (I love that they use the <ruby> element for furigana!). The application form comes with a 48-page booklet in 4 languages telling all the do's and don't's about applying and taking the test, so if you mess up it's really your own fault. However, one basic thing not mentioned is in which order to write your name on the form... You'd think they'd make things clear on such a basic point. After consulting Roy senpai, who just wrote about this topic, I decided to write mine in the same order as my gaijin card (family name first) since that's what they'll match against at the test.

I don't know yet what location I'll be assigned to (last time was Kichijōji), but if you're going too, let's eat our sandwich together ok?
