JLPT N5 and N4
Hi, has anyone taken the JLPT N5 and/or N4?

I wanted to know what level of Japanese you had when you took the test.
Is 4 semesters of college Japanese enough to pass N4 and/or N5?

I wonder if it's useful to take the JLPT below level N2 and N1 anyway.

Answer

I've been studying Japanese for 3 years out. Past year I took JLPT N4, and it was easy enough (I'll take N2 this year.). If you study for 1 year, you can pass N4. (I don't know how long have you been studying Japanese.)   If you'd like, you can get sample question on the official JLPT website. http://www.jlpt.jp/e/samples/forlearners.html

Well, to be a translator/interpreter you need N1. To teach Japanese you need N2.

Answer

I have seen job opportunities asking for a N3, but is rare. At least N2 is usually necessary. For university or senmon gakkou I think they ask for the N2 too.
