I will take the JLPT 5 test in December in France and something has been bugging me recently : everytime I look for samples questions, everything is in Japanese. I mean everything, including the question itself. So here’s what I wanted to know : is it like this in every country or are the questions or instructions for each exercices translated ? Because I usually have no problem to understand the content of exercices, but it’s difficult for me to understand instructions in japanese.
I hope I have been clear enough, thanks in advance !
Yep, even the instructions are in Japanese, even for the N5.
I’d suggest getting one of the practice booklets. Go through that, and you’ll get how the real thing goes, and not really have to worry.
The test doesn’t vary from country to country as far as I’m aware. Each country may have their own organization that does the tests and everything, but they’re all partnered with the same main company in Japan, so they all follow the same rules/format/guidelines, more or less.
