Interesting. At this point, I can only wonder how I would've handled kanji that early.
You mean that some students took it upon themselves to study for the JLPT in their own time. In other words, knowing all of the JLPT L1 material was not part of the school cirriculum, correct?
No, my roommate's class used the previous year's JLPT 1 test in class as a measuring stick. I think he took it in class 4 times over the semester, and they were expected to improve every time. They were "strongly encouraged" to take the test, but it's true they weren't required to know all of Level 1 to pass. Unfortunately, that was the year or the year after they changed the format of the Level 1 test to something much more difficult...or so I'm told.
