Reviving my account just to post my results 
Thank you WaniKani, even though I’ve graduated from you more than 3 years ago, I couldn’t have done this without you 
Congratulations to the passers and the others who tried!
The scores I saw are really impressive - seems Wanikani is a good tool & some of the people using it work really hard!
Now I’ll have N3, N2, 不合格 and N1 certificates, what else to ask for 
Any newly certified C1s in the chat?
Only got B2, but yeah I’m realistically far from C1 anyways 
Barely passed N2. Such an interesting feeling of happiness and pride, yet, disappointment.
Nether less, I will take this one and attempt N1 in a year.
Good luck to everyone this year and remember it is not about the certificate, but the language itself 
The gap of overusing wanikani is clearly seen in low grammar section 
. Reading and writing it is then!
Narrow pass on the N2 here, as well. I was expecting to fall under the passing grade on listening, but it ended up being my best category 
I’m quite happy about this. It was my first time taking the JLPT, and I’d been debating with myself if I should go for the N3 or N2. After the test, I was certain I’d failed and wished I’d gone for the N3 instead, but with the gift of hindsight, I’m not glad I went for it.
I’ll probably wait two years before going for the N1; N2 had a lot of things that were repetition for me, but N1 seems to have a fair number of challenging grammar points and even kanji that I’m unfamiliar with, and I don’t want to rush through that.
Just sharing my personal experience. I passed N2 the first time with 94, and the second time (wanted to have a good N2 grade before tackling N1) with 156, which I think is a pretty high score.
Even then, after that I had to take N1 seven times to pass.
Just to give an idea of the jump in difficulty between them.
Ah, good to know. I’ll probably still wait two years for my first attempt, then, but regard it as a practice run
Hello! Is anyone else trying to take the JLPT in Paris FR in December?
The registration opened last night at 12 AM, this morning at 7 AM I looked at the website and I couldn’t see the button to click to register and I’m worried that the registrations are already closed. I sent an e-mail to the organizers. Anyone manage to register ?
Edit : Oops, I got 12 pm and 12 am mixed up, and the registration actually starts at noon.
In Japan, applications for N5 and N4 closed on 27th August.
Applications for N3 closed then too but have reopened since then.
Applications for N2 and N1 closed on 31st August.

I wonder if they’re going to start taking seriously the need to provide more test capacity now it’s obvious even for sites in Japan…
And this is even after they limited places in Japan to those with a resident card 
Honestly, I think the system is working as intended. Make it harder for people to become more competent in Japanese, means fewer people coming to Japan.
