Falck, All the applications don't cost 5500 yen. In South Asia we pay around 1000 yen (that too after the recent endaka)

For the new levels 1 and 2 (as well as 3, 4, 5), just like with the old levels, you don't have to write anything. Not even kana. You only have to be able to spell your name in latin characters. The rest is multiple choice indicated on a mark sheet.

So for the level 1 and 2 you don't have to be able to write anything (beyond kana and hiragana)??

Hi,
Thanks for your comment. In order to get to Japan I got a job at a company doing business with a lot of Japanese customers, and then transferred here.
Currently I guess it might be a bit hard to get a job like that because of the economic downturn, but things will be better soon and hopefully you'll have passed jlpt 2 by then, which can be enough to land you a job in Japan.
I intend to write down all the tips I have on studying for the JLPT… currently my writing is not progressing much, since I should really be studying myself. Anyway, for listening try to get some real Japanese material and not only textbooks… I guess podcasts should be good. Good luck on the JLPT!
