steps to JLPT 1Archive for December, 2008
今日
JLPT1 is over.
How did everyone else go?
Not sure if I can pass, but I did what I can.
The listening wasn’t too good, unfortunately. I wish I did that part better.
Finished the grammar part really fast and I think it was alrite. But the reading wasn’t too good. I don’t understand that soundscape thing. Agh. The vocab, some are very familiar words, but some are not. Not sure.
It’d be great if I can pass then I can put it in my resume. If not, hmm, not sure if I’m gonna take it again or not. Maybe when the harder exam comes out in 2010. That is if I still feel I’d need a JLPT certificate.
Hmm. So. I might still continue this blog as I’m still learning Japanese. あたしってまだまだだなあ〜
What am I gonna do now is probably do Kanji Odyssey, which I heard good comments of. Try to fix my basic kanji again. And read novels. And manga. And websites. Then if I’m not lazy ANKI them. =d
But yeah, will start on Kanji Odyssey today, and make sure I ANKI them well.

読解・文法 : 20/24 (83%), 24/35 (69%) = 148/200

Decided to skip 2003-2004 and on to 2005. The vocab is a disaster. Argh. But the listening was good again.
[edit] Was worried with the result for reading, as I couldn’t concentrate nor understand well. But it turns out okay. And yes, over the limit time again due to distractions. I’d better concentrate well on the day.
[edit] Barely passed it. I thought I had a good feeling about the grammar at the beginning, but it turns out bad =( But at least I passed this one.

The kanji readings were hard… The vocabs were hard… ;_; I don’t even want to review the answer again… It’s 4 days left… orz
[edit] Not a bad score for grammar.
[edit] One question I completely don’t understand. What’s “yure”? Other than that, listening was fine.
[edit] This is the worse reading ever… I wonder why… Will check. *sooobs*

Hahah, I’m so glad with the grammar score. Does it really improve because I listen to the grammar CD? Hm. I have time calculating, and seems like I only need around 75% in reading to pass 2001’s exam… which I hope I’ll get tomorrow. Gonna sleep now.
