MEXT Scholarship 2014

Hello everyone,I applied for the first time for this scholarship,and I find it out to be hard enough at the exams,what do you think about it,I'm applying for the undergraduate program Electrical Engineering which forces me to take up 5 exams: Maths,English,Physics,Japanese and Chemistry! (what...I haven't learnt chemistry from some time now,like about 2 years in a row ) )
By the way,I'm Mihai. Usually how does this test takes place?:?

I read that it's quite expensive even if you get this scholarship like managing to stay alive in Japan....or it was just a false rumor?!:?

Here in my country the exam is supposed to take place on July 12.That means I'm close enough,what about yours?!
