Then what are we trying to solve here.

I think I’ll step away from this conversation for a while, because I feel like I’m starting to repeat myself, and we go in circles.

Off topic, but how much did you find your prep for kentei to help your learning overall? (I’m sure it would destroy me without prep, since I’ve never gone above JLPT.) Feel free to link me to your thread on the subject, if the question is already answered there.

Here’s the topic.

Anyone tried Kanken?

Kanken is the kanji kentei (a kanji proficiency test intended for native speakers, with 12 possible levels) I signed up for Kanken level 5 (it covers the kyouiku kanji, the 1006 taught in elementary school). It’ll take place in June. I doubt I’ll pass, even though I know 95%+ of the kanji tested at that level, I’m woefully short on writing practice. Just curious if anyone else had given it a shot.
