判定 : 合格おめでとうございます。
I’m looking forward to getting the details.
Next up is Level 2. Hopefully, it doesn’t take me two years.
If anyone has any advice for Level 2, that would be great.
I noticed that in my new textbook, it includes a lot of Pre-2 exercises.
Recently, it seems that more place names have started to be included in Kanken exams, going beyond the kanji ordinarily included in each level of exam.
Does anyone know which place names are included in each level of Kanken?
I’ve tried to search online with no luck. TIA!
The kanji used in prefecture names were reordered a few years ago so they’re all taught in elementary school. Is that what you’re referring to? I’ve never actually seen a place name appear on a Kanken exam, but they did restructure it when the joyo / kyoiku kanji contents changed.
I saw 東京 on an exercise app (it was to test 京, as the second kanji of 東○ , and it had to be a nabebuta one (亠).
Quite easy (but it was for a 九級 training too).
I don’t recall however seeing any other proper name (other than 日本, which appear a lot) in any of the 10, 9, 8級 exercises I did with 漢検スタート app.
Yeah, I’ve seen place names in unofficial apps and things, but never on an actual test. Yet, anyway.
Yep, that’s it.
I was caught off guard by a place name in Kyushu on the Kanken 7 exam a bit ago.
One of the kanji in that place name isn’t in any of the standard lists of kanji included on Kanken 7 that I’ve seen.
Since then, I’ve been trying to find out which place names might possibly appear in each level of Kanken, with no success.
Unofficial sites are probably behind the times. Any official drill books or resources from the last couple years should be up-to-date.
I got my results back and again I got zero on 誤字訂正. I was pretty confident that I got them all right this time.
Does anyone know if there is a way to have your answers checked?
The last time I wondered if I put the wrong and the right answers in the opposite places.
But unless the CBT is opposite from the paper test, I didn’t do that this time for sure.
Now, I am wondering if the computer system is reversing them.
I actually emailed them my concerns. I’ll let you know if they get back to me.
In the meantime, does anyone have CBT Level 3 or Level Pre-2 experience. I imagine if you got some of the 誤字訂正 questions right, I can eliminate that theory.
I passed 3 and pre-2 on CBT and don’t think I ever encountered a systemic issue with input for those questions. But it’s been 5 years so I don’t have a firm recollection either.
Maybe it’s wishful thinking on my part.
I took the Level 3 two years ago and the Pre-2 a few weeks ago.
BTW, the pass/fail update comes 8 days after the test now and they say they send out the certificate 10 days after. It arrived at my house 12 days after I took the test.
During standard education “everyone” does up to around level 3 I think it was. After that is just for bragging rights.
Taking Kanken is not really a given for most students. Many do not take it at all. Unless you just meant they study that content up to a certain point in school, which is how the joyo set works. But going out of one’s way to take Kanken is another story.
Some students use their scores to help them get into the high schools of their choice.
Some are told to do them by their schools, especially private schools.
I guess I will never know. I am planning to take the paper test for Level 2 if/when I take it as I plan on stopping there.
Here is the response.

Just passed it today (9級); it went quite well, but for the words out of my vocabulary, as expected: 大工、丸太、画用紙.
And a 「とう番」for which I completely blanked、only recalling 刀、登、…
Well, the nice thing is I’ll probably well remember だいク、マルた、ガようし and 当番 now (and not だいコウ、キュウた (yes, I misread 九太… and thought that was how the bear named the boy in ばけものの子 movie) nor カクようし).
Haha I failed the same word in 9級 
I find it irritating that they call the practice tests AI模擬試験 in the Switch version of the game.
On one hand, it’s nice that they’re at least making it clear that the tests aren’t real tests, they’re cobbled together.
But calling this “AI” feels like a stretch. They can’t even get it to not ask about the same kanji on different parts of the test. This is basic stuff. In a single test just now I had:
暮れる appear in the reading and writing sections
自己 appear three times
縮む appear three times
That’s nuts… Is the “AI” really just “select 10 random items from this section’s pool of questions with no other checks”?
I wasn’t terribly impressed with the software in general. I prefer the really old 漢検スタート app on Android. Even though I can’t use it on my phone anymore because it’s not compatible. I can use it on my Chromebook, though.
Are you still studying for pre-1?
I’m not “not studying” for it.
But I also don’t have an immediate plan to take the test this year or anything.
