I took the level 8 Kanji exam a few weeks ago, and today I found out that I passed. It’s not a lot, since it’s what the grade 3 kids take to prove they know their kanji; however, I’m now certified to read and write 440 kanji. Whee! The next step is to take the level 7 exam, which then certifies me for 660 Kanji. While I can actually read about 1200 Chinese Characters(Kanji in Japanese) now I’ve forced myself to learn how to write them as well. Happy days! The highest level is level 1, which tests the your knowledge on 6000 characters. I’m not quite ready for the one yet, but who knows. The sky’s the limit.
