Are you sure you didn’t mean already?
In order to level up, you need to guru at least 90 % of the level’s kanji. Usually, you need to guru the radicals first in order to unlock enough kanji to level up. Given the following SRS interval charts:
|SRS Level|Next Level|Total Wait|Review|
—|—|—|—|—|—
|Apprentice 1|4h|-|Lesson|
|Apprentice 2|8h|4h|1|
|Apprentice 3|~1d|12h|2|
|Apprentice 4|~2d|1d 11h|3|
|Guru 1|~1w|3d 10h|4|
|Guru 2|~2w|1w 3d 9h|5|
|Master|~1M|3w 3d 8h|6|
|Enlightened|~4M|7w 5d 7h|7|
|Burned|-|24w 6d 6h|8|
You need 3 days and 10 hours to guru the radicals + 3 days and 10 hours to guru the kanji, leading to a ideal level-up time of 6 days and 20 hours.
However, for some levels (the ones @Arban completed under 5 days), you already unlock more than 90 % of the kanji right away, so the ideal level-up time drops to 3 days and 10 hours, but only for these levels.
I can say that I took N2 right after hitting 60 and passed. Granted I took longer to reach 60 (a year and a half), but I had no background before that. And my vocab score was like 50/60, by far the strongest part. Jah bless wanikani.
Damn, N2 in 18 months is quite impressive. 4 years and still N3…
But you did do grammar and reading and so beside WK right? How much of that (and what), if I may ask?
WOW !
That’s incredible ! well done.
Did you study the kanji in between reviews, or do you just have an awesome memory?
Seriously impressive achievement. ![]()
Congrats!
Where’d you find that data?
You just need to enter your API key, which can be found here (scroll down a bit)
Congratulations! The fast levels are no joke. Also impressed that you managed a decent level of grammar at the same time (you might think it wasn’t enough but N3 is way more than I managed). Good luck keeping on. ![]()
All 60 levels in just a year - I don’t know if that is amazing or disgusting. A bit of both I think. Most impressive.
I’ve been living in Japan for two years so it’s kind of cheating haha. But if you push through a little more of WK I’m sure you’ll be at N2 in no time ![]()
Yeah, I live in Japan so I’ve gotten a fair bit of listening and reading exposure through everyday life. Grammar’s hardest for me but I really like the kanzen master books. (And love tae kim for the earlier stuff). Once I finished WK I also started reading harry potter on kindle which has been pretty enjoyable; the built in Japanese->English dictionary makes it very doable.
All you guys living in Japan //jealous
Wanna too!
That being said, keep up the good work!
Congratulations!
And omg, such insane dedication, you are my idol ![]()
I’m new here btw (my first post). Now I feel even more motivated to work hard
Me too Kalas, but that’s okay, we’ll get there at our own speed ![]()
Congrats! I hope I’ll get there anytime ![]()
