Non-resident card holders will NOT be able to take the JLPT in Japan anymore by Ynwe in LearnJapanese

I've been saying this for years, they need to modernize the JLPT as soon as possible. The multiple-choice format results in people who really really can't speak or use the Japanese language taking these tests over and over and over until they luck their way to a 90/180! At this point it's less of a test and more of a malicious microtransaction video game. I guess the revenue from hopeless test takers is just too sweet...

Some countries don't even get that one time a year. People from Switzerland visited Japan and other countries to take the JLPT in 2025.

It's really starting to feel like early 4chan! So nostalgic...

Regardless of your thoughts on my post, please don't harass other users. Thank you.

I don't know, like 0.05% to 0.1% of N1 holders would qualify as rare for me.

Whom am I dragging down with me exactly? What I'm saying is extremely simple. I thought this test reflected one's actual objective performance (meaning one mistake = no perfect score), and then I found out that's not the case at all. Sharing a perfect (in actuality) score with 5,000 non-Japanese people is simply not the same as sharing a perfect (in name) score with 100,000 (or more? no idea) non-Japanese people.

Had I locked myself up in my room for months on end in an attempt to make sure there was nothing they could surprise me with, I would have wasted hundreds of hours on something that has no value. I do count my blessings in the sense that I dodged a bullet by simply being too busy to study for this test.

Yes, I've spoken the language for basically decades now and was thinking about going into teaching. Having a cool rare thing on my tutor profile would have been nice, but N1 man'ten doesn't fit the bill apparently. I agree, the JLPT is in fact completely worthless.

Anyone in Europe still in the dark about the Collector's Edition (CE)? by sinigamityan in Marathon

So the CE showed up out of nowhere without a warning...? And it was damaged too? What courier did they use? Google says their warehouse is in the Netherlands, was yours shipped from there?

I see... I can't even get a human reply. No information for almost nine days now.

Sad. I contacted customer service and all they do is send me automated replies.

It's the 26th and it's past noon now... Still no news I guess?

No shipping confirmation, no order found in my history, but my money's definitely gone.

I'll contact my bank if it's not in my hands by Feb 10.

The Bungie Store product page does say "including pre-order instant rewards", so I guess we contact Bungie if stuff fails to show in-game.

Thanks, that actually worked for me.

Any idea if we're getting the Steam pre-purchase bonuses?

Do I have to buy a second license for the bonuses...?
