Awesome, that kind of sounds like my routine though Iāve been using an excel sheet for grammar and use FloFlo for new vocabulary. I really enjoy Shin Kanzen for Grammar and the vocabulary SouMatome book. And when I took the N3 one of my friends gifted me the N1 ę°å®å Ø Grammar book so thatās finally coming in handy! Even though she said it would be for the ādistant futureā I guess itās not so distant after all!
I try to read every day for about an hour. Iāve also been playing games in Japanese every day for the past couple months as well. (Sounds like a super hard habit to keep up, I know, but I somehow make time in my day to play games. 
)
Grammar is still my weak point despite how disproportionately I try on studying it. I might have just get one of those drill books because idk if I can bank on just winging it on the actual test.
Also I didnāt want to think too hard about it at the time, but when the answers were posted I realized I missed some stupid easy kanji/vocab questions because I was going way too fast and didnāt read the sentences properly. I still have a good score but I could have had a way better one. Ugh. Tip for everyone: Slow down! Even for things youāre good at!
I think you meant to reply to @IanD that time, but Iāll take it.

I had to guess my password, which turned out to not be my birthday, but my birthday in an unexpected lay-out, so props to me for trying everything.
I, the fool, passed the N2!!

It was meant for you, since I edited that in afterward!

Took the N4 a second time, and passed a second time 
(I would have felt really stupid if I had failed after passing last time, but I was again very insecure about the listening, as always.)
Still the results are not much better than last time 
Time to move on to N3, I guess!

Since I wasnāt feel too hot the day of the test, I wasnāt expecting anything great.
BUT I passed with flying colors and even got a perfect score on the reading.
Language Knowledge: 44/60
Reading: 60/60
Vocabulary: 51/60
Total: 155/180
Pretty sure that that perfect reading score was thanks to Wanikani and the reading clubs with yāall here. Now that Iām done traveling here and there, I need to get caught up with the intermediate club.

Hi everyone, just wonderingā¦ where do you see your results? I took the test in Singapore - categorie other countries - but I canāt find the SG results anywhere?
Just enter your participant number (it includes the site where you took the test) and your 8-digit password on the page, and it will take you to your results. There is no further distinction by countries.
I passed N4 
ā¦barely, though (95/180) haha.
Language Knowlegde & Reading: 66/120
Listening: 29/60
Vocab: A
Grammar: B
Reading: A
Didnāt expect many points in the listening section but was a bit surprised about the low score in the Language Knowledge & Reading section but I guess I sucked at grammar.
So the results basically show how I acually felt after the test: kanji was best, vocab and reading was okay, grammar and listening were definetly my weak points.
Will try N3 next summer. (Glad that I donāt have to re-take N4 in DĆ¼sseldorf in December 
)

Iām planning to register for December soon and could use a bit of advice as Iām very much torn between N3 and N2. Iāve made it pretty much through the end of Tobira and just got back from a two-month language program in Japan. I had mostly decided on doing N2 but have definitely started to second-guess everything, especially as Iām seeing people here who are level 50+ saying they failed or barely passed. Kanji is definitely my weak point and Iāve only just come back to wanikani after about two years away. I went through the sample questions on For Examinees: Let's Try Sample Questions! | JLPT Japanese-Language Proficiency Test and got all but two on the N3 and a bit less than half on the N2. How close are these samples to the real thing? I feel pretty confident that I could pass N3 with a bit more kanji and practice with the format of the test itself, but is it realistic for me to even consider N2?
For context, I hope to apply to research grants for after I graduate grad school and even though itās a little way out, this year is my only shot to get a score that will be able to be included in the application. I canāt figure out if itās better to pass N3 or to possibly fail/barely pass N2. On the one hand N3 isnāt nearly as impressive even though the certification does mean something, but on the other hand if I go for N2 it will show that Iām challenging myself and have the motivation to aim high even if Iām still working towards it. Basically what Iām asking is doesnāt a close fail on N2 technically still show that Iām higher than N3?

Itās possible to pass N3 once youāve walked through Tobira. For N2, youāll need more than that as the gap is wider than N4-N3. Have you tried JCAT to test your level?

I passed N4!!
147/180
Vocab/Grammar & Reading 99/120
Listening 48/60
Iām not feeling confident enough with myself to do N3 in December like I said in my new yearās resolution, but Iād rather feel bored in the test and ace it than risk not passing it. My ultimate goal is N2 by summer 2021, and Iām still well on track for that!

You might be in a tricky spot, where youāre above the material N3 tests you on, but N2 really will kill you for a lack of kanji knowledge, especially in the reading passages.
Itās up to you whether you want to go for a test thatās probably too easy just to guarantee some sort of cert., or just want to take N2, as itās the more substantial milestone anyway and you could at least get some practice, if not pass. You could also grab one of the JLPT book linesā N2 kanji book and take a pass through to see just how much you actually feel you fall short, and assess whether or not you can cram some amount in. I would definitely start long-term planning for the N2 next July, either way.
(Iād say by the time youāre in the 30s on WK though, you donāt have an enormous amount to fear from the N2, as far as kanji. There will still be unknown ones (and that could ruin some vocab questions for you ā¦ as could any unknown vocab, really), but you shouldnāt run the risk of being totally without footholds in any reading passages.)

Finally got my results!
ć®ćŖć®ćŖ but at least I got N2 after 2 years of Nihongo. I want to retake N2 again but my company will automatically register me to take N1 on December, which Iāll fail. Lol.
Itās actually weird that I got the listening section highest when it was the section I wasnāt really confident of. Also, I thought my first part was the highest but it was the contrary.
