What a hack! All these past papers would cost a fortune if you bought them at a bookstore - not that any bookstore would have all these in stock!

I don't think much of that site - it's all stolen content, and they're running AdSense.
Bloody thieves.

Obviously I don't condone stolen content, but any organization that claims to be "contributing to world peace" (according to the Japan Foundation's website), should be giving away these past exam papers to libraries and international centers for free, not profiting from them.
The website NihonHacks points us to might be breaking all the laws and earning some pennies in the process, but all they are doing is exactly what the Japan Foundation should be doing! We want world peace too, and we want it for free!
Edit: Also, just wondering how they got all those past papers onto the site, did they buy them all then type them up? Even scanning them with one of those OCR programs would've taken ages.

What better way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon than to scan reams and reams of documents?
I would have just walked into one of the JLPT centers with my trusty USB drive and "borrowed" an unmonitored PC, though. It's downright scary how many opportunities I've had to access data while visiting various companies in both Gifu and Aichi ....

Nice resource.
