To be honest, a lot, especially between March to July (before my university life got in the way). Without WK it was probably at least 10 hrs/week, if not more. Since July I haven’t done much other than keeping my 7.5 days/level pace in WK and regular variety shows (without subs) and drama (with subs) watching. It’s more for fun and stress relief, but since I google some words I don’t understand, it actually helps with listening + vocab.
Gonna get back to regular grammar studying soon, after I settle down moving across continents next month
lol I was soooo lost in the Listening section and the grammar and vocab left me no time to read. ; ; In Reading I didn’t even know what I was supposed to answer. Oh, well. Hope I laugh at this in six months.
Listening 12
Vocabulary 40
Grammar 15
Reading 29
Total 96
Just took mine today. Not under ideal circumstances, but whatever ^^.
Everything went up by around 13 points from the last time, except for grammar which went down by 16 points.
I mean sure i’m not doing grammar currently since i’m travelling, but I don’t think i dropped in grammar that much and actually passed the JLPT N3 during that time.
I feel like the grammar score has way too few questions to say anything definitive about your grammar abilities. Same with the vocabulary section btw.

I felt so behind on all questions, but I did surprisingly well (I felt like I’d get waaaay lower)
I don’t know how I did this well on grammar considering I’ve only been learning grammar the last few months. Need to work on reading even though I felt like listening went a million times worse.
I just did the practice questions on the jcat site…the 30 second ones are way too fast. I can read and understand what is written pretty well, but I only get through reading the question and the first 2 or 3 options before the 30 seconds is up. I am a pretty slow test taker though, so I guess it might just be me. That is making me look forward to taking this a lot less now.
Oh shiii… xD I tried earlier today and it suddenly started checking if I had all the stuff (like flash) ready to do it. And I was likeeeee: NOOOOT NOWWWWWWWW! I WAS JUST TESTIIIINGG!! Apparently the flash didn’t activate so nothing happened
Oh, yeah the site just checks that before it lets you sign up and give your name and email, but the test does not actually start. To start the test you need to put in a password which they will email to you as well as your email. So you were probably safe anyways…
No problem. I was slightly confused at first too. I hope someone has a suggestion for the fast questions though…Maybe slow people are just doomed. Guess I will have to see.
Ok, I was afraid that that might be the case…oh well. I guess I will just have to give it a wing and find out where I suck and then improve…Thanks Kumi.
Going off of what kumi said, its adapts to what it thinks your skill level is. Because of this, the questions should always feel pretty hard. I thought I had failed, as each question was really hard, and was fully ready to get placed at N5 level, but I almost hit N2.
