Yes, N3!! Still a newbie, but not a complete failure anymore!
So, we have a deal? ![]()
Everybody else was doing it, I just wanted to be popular

You already are.
Thank you! Actually I don’t actively practice listening, I just like to watch Japanese dramas and anime. Recently I also found the joy of Japanese speaking Youtube!
Hides behind N4 in shame
Wow, it’s been great reading through all of this! Massive congratulations to everyone who managed to pass, and sorry to everyone who didn’t ![]()
To my enormous surprise, I passed N4! I wrote about it somewhere up there ^ after the exam, but was certain I’d fail purely on the basis of listening. I actually got an ok score in that in the end, as well as A, A, A in the other areas. I’m really proud of myself as I’d had such a tough time around then, and it wasn’t actually my original goal to pass in December. ![]()
I’d started N3 material after the exam regardless, so looking forward to revisiting this stress and worry at the next level!
Last year in december I passed N3, and I decided to try N1 this year. I studied so much but I was really nervous… I’m so happy I passed!!
Language Knowledge: 55
Reading: 46
Listening: 39
Total: 140
Finally I was able to check my results, and I passed! Yay ![]()
I was so worried because of the listening section, but the result is actually really ok ![]()
Yay, congratulations! ![]()
Maybe we all really collectively did so bad on the listening that it all worked out thanks to the adaptive scoring. But main thing is that we passed ![]()
Wow, what a jump in so little time! Congratulations.
That’s what I had really really hoped for, especially after everybody wrote that they were surprised how many points they scored in listening after it having been so difficult ![]()
I spent a week camping with no internet or mobile reception, but got back today to find that I passed N3. Phew. On to N2!!
I had to laugh when I remembered listening was multiple choice with only 3 options:
15/60 = 1/4 < 1/3. whoa hahaha

2017年第2回:N5合格
2018年第1回:N4合格
2018年第2回:N3合格!やったぞ!

Should I go for N2 this July? Though I don’t really have the confidence to do so, when my WK reviews are currently suuuuuuuuuuuuper piling up to 1200++ items… idk how to make them to 0 anymore. T_T
no harm in working towards it, in any case! You have a nice streak going there!
You are amazing! Definitely try the N2!
Failed N1 by 10 points. On to July.
Commiserations and hugs. Good luck for next time.
You must know more 日本語 than the most of us anyway!
I was torn between taking N1 and N2, and went with N2 after all because I generally take the safe route and didn’t want to risk failing N1 and having only N4 under my belt. Turned out I probably could have stepped a bit further out of my comfort zone…
Wow! Another perfect score! Now you can study for N1 with confidence! 感嘆符!
ナイス!! So N1 in July?
