Here are a bunch of links to tests for different grades in Japan.
Even if you are at an intermediate level I bet working through the sheets you will find some new words.
For those of you at the advanced level of your Japanese studies and want a challenge I also posted worksheets for 4 Kanji combinations at the bottom. Have Fun and learn something new!!
For those of you that want to learn more about culture there are sets of 4 Kanji that make up lots of expressions and are very difficult to remember. I have only run into a few living here in Japan but Japanese people are impressed if you understand them. Here are some of those worksheets.For this first sheet there is the 4 kanji along with how to read it. You are supposed to put the meaning of the expression in the lower box. I would recommend maybe having two of these sheets and writing the meaning in your native tongue first and then translating that into Japanese. http://www.kanji1006.com/yojipdf/yoji200.pdf
I hope people decide to use these to help them study and even learn new words. My wife, a Japanese Elementary school teacher, uses these sheets along with books supplied by the schools.
Thanks for these ones! They are pretty neat, in particular the 4 kanji ones (which also are lethal to me), thankfully I have a dictionary of those expressions but it's another whole world to learn those so I think I'll stick with the grade ones first.
