Hello! I wanted to make a post to those who have taken any Japanese test at all, to hear what you guys thought was the most difficult part of the tests. I have taken and failed JLPT N2 once, as well as years earlier taking and failing the JTEST, I plan to take both of these again (and hopefully pass) this year for the JLPT and probably whenever I’m forced to for the JTEST because I hated the writing portion so bad.
It was a couple of years ago, and I was fresh out of living in Japan for a year, so I was confident but easily the most difficult part for me at the time was the lack of kanji I had memorized! Nowadays I find I struggle the most with comprehension, not the lack of ability to read per se but simply putting it all together in my head.
I wanted to ask you guys what you found was most difficult about the tests you have taken and what you did, or are doing to improve on that perceived weak point, I figure if we share these perhaps there will be some solutions we could find for our own struggles. I look forward to your replies!
