Level 1 sounds horribly scary to me - although, I haven't even had a chance to take Level 4 yet, so anything's scary! I've had enough Japanese to take 4 for the last two years, but my parents wouldn't fly me out last year (apparently 17's too young for them to fly me out overnight on my own), and this year I had previous obligations. Next year, ne? And, *cringes* Fill-in-the-blanks?! *runs off and hides under blanket* I don't want that. Not at all! TT_TT I hope you did well, though! *crosses fingers* Gah!

I hope you did well, though! *crosses fingers*

That's much worse than the pressure we face in the JLPT exam. Thanks, and I'm hoping for the best as well! :D @mrkstphn: Confident but not quite. And as I checked the 'leaked scans', I've been greatly humbled to know that I sucked, much more than I thought, especially in the writing/vocab and listening. Just have to do better from hereon! @Zeroblade: heh, totally. Oh well, this bitch won't get me next time! @Shin: Thanks! As for applying, well in our case we get the application forms from the Japanese embassy and submit it to them as well. Not sure how it goes for other countries though :| @metzkie: Ate Metz!!! XD But I just checked my score just now... saw that I failed, and I felt quite relieved! Surprisingly... =O @Diego: I should've done that approach in the reading section, argh. Well that's what I plan to do in my next take. I'm dreading the changes that will come in 2010 as well, especially this rumored "fill in the blanks" section. I'm still hoping that you'll pass! @C.I.: Don’t worry, I’m not brooding over it anymore, at least not as much XD I’d rather keep myself busy than worry about it :3

Worked well enough for managing time until part 3, when I finally caved and actually started revising my answers. There's a fair chance I failed Level 3, but no worries - at least I've had some practice for next year's retake! (Either way, I'd like to get my certificate no later than next year. I don't want to get caught in the maelstrom of changes planned for 2010 onwards.) I used a different approach: read, shade, forget.

It would be by a long shot if i do. Oh did you caught wind of the news that the exam has been leaked by Chinese pirates. :idea: Well their forums which had scans for level 3 to 1 has just recently been torn down (around 10 AM today Philippine time) but it was posted mere hours after this part of the world took the exams. So people in the Western countries could have seen the scans and "benefited". I got to see the level 3 scans early morning today of the moji&goi part and lo and behold they were the exam I took yesterday. It pissed me off. :vangry: Well based on what you said, I guess you can still pass the exam. There is just a drawback but it seems you are quite confident. Well I guess I would not pass this year.
