does anyone know about the kanji section in the placement test?
ie to do level 5, do i have to know basically all the kanji from level 1~4 or will my mediocre vce kanji knowledge get me through?
No-one on VN knows anything about the Monash Jap placement test.
Though I'm glad this is soon to change, I'm the only one on here currently studying Jap @ Monash and I never sat the placement test.
'Tis a great mystery I tells ya
Anywayz, my recommendation is that you cram the kanji from levels 1 - 4... it's not too onerous, really... when's the placement test?
22nd i think
ive already started studying kanji, just wanted to know how well i need to know them
isn't the test just a "recommendation" anyway?
I wouldn't mind getting a decisive answer on this actually. I was under the impression the test determined what level you started at but when I called Monash the impression I got was that you could enrol for any level you wanted which is not what I have been told earlier =/
Also have any of the other first years doing a Diploma enrolled in the language subjects yet? I didn't put down any languages in my units because I was planning on waiting on approval/test results before I enrolled so I knew what level to enrol at. I was told that after the test I could contact the course advisors to discuss which of my units I could drop for the language one (I'm figuring I could drop one of the core commerce subjects from 1st/2nd semester and just do it later).
Also have any of you actually been approved by your faculty yet? I gave the Law faculty my application on the 28th and haven't heard anything from them since...
i handed in mine this morning so hopefully it doesnt take too long
since im doing BEc i think i have enough free units to do jap anyway (in 1st semester at least), once or if get into the diploma ill just drop jap out of my degree and put into my diploma (i dont know exactly how it works tho)
as for the placement test, im not sure how its done or if i HAVE to do it at all either
i once heard that the test wasnt strict, ie u can do any level but monash may just advice u on what to do
but yeah, ive goten mixed messages/answers too
btw, i just realised i forgot to include a copy of my vce results with the application (it only has my enter on the application), will they contact me and ask for it when processing or should i somehow go give it to them?
