In August, I took a kanji test called the Kanken. I went for level 5, which is equal to a smart 6th grader's kanji ability, or 1006 kanji. I have failed it on my first two attempts, but I found out last week that I finally passed on my third try. Passing is 140/200. I got a 146/200.
The hardest part about the test is not the kanji, but the vocabulary. It's like a spelling test for a bunch of words you don't know. It's hard to spell out the antonym/synonym of a word you don't even know the meaning of.
