Oh! I just assumed that you've applied for the Research Student scholarship.
I am not sure how the embassy personnel are handling the screening process. Myself, I didn't want to mail the application so I handed it by hand, and the nice lady told me I will be contacted the following week if my application was accepted, and if it was rejected, I will not be notified at all.
You could call the embassy and ask them; that's the best advice I can give you, unfortunately!
hey guys, so sad..don't know how to express my feeling..I still did not get any email from Ms Yin until today..is that a sign that I'm not selected for the interview???? Oh my God...someone please tell me that's not true
I'm sorry to go back over this but I have a huge mess in my head:
English paper: Similar to 2010. I have no questions about it, is clear.
Japanese paper: Similar to 2009, 2008, 2007...?
You can choose the paper A B or C?
The exam contains long passages and questions about the text (like 2010)
or
Contains grammar and vocabulary exercises (like 2009, 2008, 2007...)
Thank you for your help!!! I really need this information because my japanese teacher has to give me precise material to reinforce more kanji/reading/grammar, etc.
Yes...The English paper is quite easy. I think it needs 90% to get an interviewI've just taken both tests this afternoon and the Japanese paper is like the year before the last. No A B C level for choose. For me, the first reading passage is very difficult and I got lost on the last three questions of the first reading passage.
The English paper is like last year's except the final part of finding mistakes. Overall, the English paper is quite easy, easier than the previous years as I see.
The embassy lady here told us that they will only inform eligible candidate to come to the Interview after 10 days.
lool!! I called the Embassy and they told me that they haven't started notifying the candidates yet! The good news is that they had received my application. I feel less stressed now!!
damas17 ! me too i was wondering if they had already started notifying candidates ! thanks to you i feel a bit relaxed now ! so did they give you any idea about the exam's date and how much we still have to wait for their notification :?

thank you pout for helping me! I really appreciate it !
one more thing, how does the screening process go? what things do they take into consideration?
hey qwie,
I'd say try calling the embassy. Either Ms Yin or the education counsellor. They are pretty helpful. Calling them up is definitely better than waiting indefinitely (each day seems like years, i know).
Unfortunately, I didn't get much information. The funny part is that I ran out of money, and the phone hung up before I could get any information whatsoever.
But, don't worry! inshallah ikon ghir l khir
I don't know if they have a policy like how many marks you have to get to go to the interview or it is like the top xx percent of the students in either Japanese or English test can go to the interview. Or they just set the mark at xxx and people who pass it can go to the interview. Do you know anything about that?Yes...The English paper is quite easy. I think it needs 90% to get an interview
for the Jap test, I think the first comprehension is quite difficult. But other questions are normal.I don't know if they have a policy like how many marks you have to get to go to the interview or it is like the top xx percent of the students in either Japanese or English test can go to the interview.

Actually, for the English paper, I think the only place I have made a few mistakes are the last part of the notorious mistakes finding part. But I'm not sure.
Good luck!
What marks do you think it's needed to get an interview in the Japanese test then?
Hi blurcheryl,
I've sent an email to Ms Yin asking for confirmation yesterday...just waiting for her feedback today...I don't know what would happen to me if I did not selected for the interview..I can't concentrate on my work as long as I do not receive any news from Ms Yin..oh my God..
Seems like you are pretty strong in both languages. Hope we both get the chance for the interview.for the Jap test, I think the first comprehension is quite difficult. But other questions are normal.

Dude, my major is biology. I'm interested in languages so I have spent some time learning Japanese before. Actually, you are quite good at languages I think. Have you taken the JLPT test and which level is that? Just wondering. I'm from CU btw.Perhaps I just forget the mistakes I have made.
BTW, are your major Jap./literal art? It seems u're quite good in language.
My major in Science
No, we are not allowed to take the test sheets home, obviously because the same tests are conducted in different countries at different times.Excuse me, but does your answer mean that you've taken the test (the booklet) home with you?
