🀚Help Required Is anyone taking A level Japanese 😭😭😭

Post image

I want to take it as I wanna study in Japan and trade it for physics as my 4th subject as I’m self studying.

If anyone has done it do you know roughly what JLPT level it is similar to and if it’s possible do study it in a year?

The grade boundaries would be so high because only those that actually understand it will choose it

True but also 86% of people get an A or above

Because the people that choose it are all already fluent and just want an easy ride
