According to a mailing from the Japan Foundation, they are conducting a Trial Exam of the New JLPT in Tokyo on 11/23.

2009 December will be the last JLPT in the old, current format.

Key Points:
1. Only those who are scheduled to take the JLPT on 12/7 are eligible
2. Volunteers will receive 2,000Yen
3. You cannot pick the level (N1-N5): they will decide based on your application to the standard JLPT, and probably on how many people sign up for each...
3. Deadline: 10/30
4. They will inform you of your test results at a later date

Links to more info or how to sign up? I'm having trouble with the google. She won't give me what I want.

Man I really hope I can pass JLPT1 in December 2009, would suck to have to learn a new format ^^

If you signed up for JLPT DEC 08, you should receive the application in the mail.
Google may yield nothing as this is just a special practice exam.
