While arguably the best way to learn kanji is in context (something that our Yasuke! Versus Japanese series does well), I know some of you are prepping for the KanKen test. Others might want to see where your kanji knowledge matches up to where Japanese learn kanji in school.

So,
I think it would be great to get rid of the JLPT; J-cat a free test from the Univ. of Tsukuba is a nice alternative.
I have registered for the J-Cat and am awaiting my login info.
Only being able to take it once in 6 months is a little worrying. I need to play with the pre-test and make sure I’m ready to challenge the test and prove my Japanese language beast-hood.

J-cat homepage. Notice the red arrows I added pointing to some pretty nice EngRish 🙂
J-cat checks your system to make sure you meet system requirements. My windows tablet passed
J-cat sends an email confirm stating you will get access to take the test in 72 hours.
So I have some time to get ready.
