Photo: N3 JLPT - Application guide for 2010 - for Japan test takers
Just picked up my N3 JLPT application guide for the first N3 JLPT to be held in 2010.I will be taking the test in Japan and will outline the application guide for the test if you are taking it in Japan.
No dramas picking up the application guide for 500 yen at a bookstore in Japan. Actually the application guide is a sealed envelope and contains five separate documents inside.
Lets go through what is inside the envelope:
1. There is an offical guide in English, Japanese, Chinese and Korean language it is a 50 page booklet. The guide explains the schedule for the test for example, the application period, test voucher will be mailed from June 11th Friday, test date July 4th Sunday for Japan test takers and when results for the test will be sent (early september 2010)
2. An official test application form, that asks you what test you will take, test area you will set the test, name in capital letters, date of birth, sex, study hour code, occupation code, country code, purpose code, native language code and phone number. On the reverse side of the form you have to add a black and white or colour photo (3cm X 4cm)taken within the past six months.
3. Special Advertising feature - that promotes language schools but doesn't recommend or endorse them?
4. Envelope for application - Blue envelope
That you must use and include 1. a postal payment certificate - official payment of money from post office and 2 Your completed application form with photo.
5.Postal payment form - that you use to pay the 5500 yen fee at a post office in Japan and include part of the form in the blue envelope above (the postal payment certificate)
