26/5/12 08:54Found my other test book for the Kanji Kentei and took the mock test in the back of that.
172/200, which is "safe pass"! (140 is a passing grade.)
I realize it may sound silly to be proud of myself for having the kanji knowledge of a Japanese 6th-grader, but I remember when I first got the test prep books and I was just astonished by how badly I did. Because knowing how to read kanji doesn't necessarily translate well to being able to write kanji, and being able to write kanji doesn't necessarily mean you'll know enough vocabulary to be able to pick out the right kanji to use in any given context. And even if it's only level 5, it's still over a thousand kanji, after all.
