I’d love to learn more about their scoring criteria, I took the N3 as well and ended up receiving a 34/60 on Grammar but still only received a B on reference information. I wonder what ended up curving the grades, if it’s the comprehension of more obscure grammar, specific portions of the test, or something else.

「よ」を使いすぎることは注意してください。例えば、「頑張ってね！」って言いた方がいいですよ。「頑張ってよ」って一方で、ちょっと失礼だと思います。でも、僕は日本人じゃないから、その情報が正しくないでしょう。
I often hear this as 頑張ってぉ
Reading is definitely the way to improve with Japanese! Have you tried reading 漫画 or 小説 every day? This is my new routine and my reading level has been increasing quickly!
Good luck.

I received my results certificate by mail, so all people who took it should be receiving soon.
You should be getting a letter even if you failed, unless you got a red card during the exam.
Otherwise contact with the institution where you took the exam.

Got mine this morning! It’s getting framed and going on the wall of my office for sure! Whilst I was a bit underwhelmed by my N5 score (my ego writing cheques that my ability couldn’t cash to paraphase an old movie line) it said I was in the 88.5% percentile, which is better than expected.
Cheers, onwards and upwards

I’m not getting mine because it was mailed to my address without the apartment number, so as it’s my fault for putting in the incorrect address, they will not resend it. There is no way I did not put my entire address in because I am not an idiot, so I suspect the system has trimmed a line or something. I make online forms for a living (and also do a lot of address validation stuff) so I know how to enter an address! I don’t remember what the signup form looked like but actually, if they used google address validation, that would have removed the apartment number. When websites use that, I have to select ‘enter manually’ because only the building address exists in their system. It’s very annoying.
Regardless of how it went wrong, no certificate for me. Unless if turns up somewhere and
someone sends it back as return to sender, then they will send it again to my correct address.
I still have my yellow envelope of shame from when I failed it years ago, so I am kind of upset I am not getting the one I actually passed. If I ever actually need a physical copy I guess I will have to apply for a reissue.

how frustrating for you
That sucks.
If it’s any consolation, I guess you probably already know that the certificates look really crummy and arrive all folded up anyway, not really something I’d frame and put on the wall 
what the…
here in germany (vhs) we get the certificates in board backed envelopes so they are in pristine condition. i wouldnt tolerate anything else when i consider the sign up cost.
Oh really?
Very jealous then.
So the certificates don’t look like this when you take them out of the envelope (after any unfolding)?

they look like this (not mine) real high quality paper, the 2022 versions even have some fancy glittering special marks right upper corner. damn i feel sorry for you guys, is this even normal? i always thought worldwide ALL certificates come from the same place in japan.

I didn’t wanna say anything, but mine also came in pristine condition. It had a cardboard backing to prevent bending.

Every time I look at this thread I think, ‘oh I really must my certificate framed’, then promptly forget all about it, then a few hours later I’ll look at it again, ‘oh I really must that framed’

Update: Gave certificate to mum to get it framed for me as she lives near a good place that does it. Bad news, she told me it was quite expensive. Good news, she’s gifting it to me for my impeding birthday.
Really need it up on the wall to give me motivation to revise for N4 if I get a seat.
