Some helped quite a bit so if you are studying a bit of the ol' nihongo yourself, then be sure to check them out.

Hey mate, thanks for those links. Was just checking a few of them out. I have been studying for about a year and wanted to do the test last Dec, but due to circumstances couldnt get to. How did you go with it? I have found that the written and spoken grammer is a hell of a lot different.

Again thanks for the links

Cheers

I'm no expert but Japanese doesn't change that much from other languages in that the spoken and written language is different, nobody in any language speaks like a newspaper. Although it is compounded a bit in Japanese because you have distinct polite and formal ways of saying/writing things, but it is not too hard to master.

Dunno how I went, the results come out in mid February. If you are trying to learn Japanese, taking the test is a great way of motivating yourself to study, considering it's so expensive and is only held once a year.
