Well, I didn’t do the mock exam when i planned, but i did it today. Mock exam 3 of Todai News full size tests, and I… Passed! 
Was actually really disappointed when I clicked “submit” and saw that I hadn’t passed. Apparently I was worse at the listening section than last time? How’s that possible? So, I went to the listening section, and checked my answers. There, I saw this:
Ah, yep, that’s my bad.
LMAO. It had counted this question wrong, even though I ticked the exact answer it’s saying is right. No idea how that went wrong, but it went wrong 5 other times in the listening section. So, with 30 questions in the listening section, and 60 attainable points, I just added 10 points to the listening score to set my real score straight. (The other sections were completely fine, and I made sure to check that it didn’t count wrong answers from me as right, that’d be unfair)
So, My final score being:
Vocab & Grammar: 30/60 (sectional pass, +3 from July)
Reading: 21/60 (sectional pass, same as July (I gotta work on this))
Listening: 46/60 (sectional pass, +6 from July)
Total: 97/180 (Overall pass, +9 from July)
As a reminder, 19 or more is a sectional pass, 95 or more is an overall pass
So yeah, I passed by the skin of my teeth - but I passed! And there’s two more months to go! Will be sifting through this mock exam and clearing out all questions until i understand it all.
As for my Wanikani studies…
I’ve got some lessons to do. I want to get to level 20 at least, might take a breather then & catch up on vocab lessons. Postponing them for too long.
I highly recommend doing a mock exam right now! Hugely valuable, shows you your exact weak points. がんばれ！
