JLPT December 2023

138/180 N3

I can‘t believe I passed. The listening was giving me anxiety and doubt. And I was not familiar how the test formst etc.

Even if you didn‘t pass. Taking the test will just give you a hint on what to work on and help you get familiar with the test setting for next year. :slight_smile: See you guys at the next test.

I passed N2!!!

127/180

Vocab/Grammar 31/60
Reading 43/60
Listening 53/60

Vocab A, Grammar B.

Surprised that vocab and grammar was my worst, and while I always struggled more on reading than listening, listening felt much harder on the day.

Very happy to have passed.

Thank you!

Ugh, I wish. Contemplating taking it in December just to see how I do, but not sure realistically how much time I’ll have to study with other commitments. I’m planning on moving back to Japan in 2025 though, so hoping I can pass it soon after that since I’ll actually be immersed again.

I passed N4! I got 139 / 180. Vocab, grammar and listening were all graded A.
I was so nervous, because during the test I felt like the listening part was kicking my ass so bad. And afterwards I started to realize stupid mistakes I made in that section. So all considered, I’m very happy.

Passed N1! I can’t sing Bunpro’s praises enough. Big time thank you! Just under two years of on-and-off studying got me here from the seemingly impassable upper N4/low N3 plateau that tormented me for years. I’m forever indebted! :heart:

Well, 10 months from zero to taking the N3.

N3 合格 Passed :partying_face:
Total Score: 96/180 (95 points required) :scream:
Vocab: 35/60
Reading: 24/60
Listening: 37/60

That was too close for comfort with the cut-off being 95 points. From here on out, it will be N2 all the way until July for me. Might consider sentence mining and reading more stuff. I also understood fairly quickly after the test that grammar is one of my weakest points, so ended up buying lifetime Bunpro during the sale to catch up with my Kanji knowledge.

Well done to everyone pass or fail!

N1 不合格
Not surprising as it was a first attempt and 2023 was a busy year.
Did decently well in Language Knowledge (thanks in part to Bunpro), so really I mostly just need to get more practice with reading and listening. I have a kindle loaded with books and a phone loaded with podcasts to that effect. Then I’ll hit the practice exams closer to the end of the year.

Ended up passing the N2!!

Total: 120/180
Vocab/grammar: 38/60
Reading: 32/60
Listening: 50/60

Honestly quite surprised I passed, given how bad I felt after taking the test. It was a bit close all things considered (reading is pretty yikes) but otherwise everything looks pretty accurate. Funnily enough I also scored a 50/60 on listening last year on the N3 last year, which just goes to show how lopsided my japanese ability is ww

Great job to everyone who did and didn’t pass!

I passed N5! I would not have even know results were out without this thread - I’d just assumed I would get an email saying they were out but apparently not.

I only got 93/180 so barely a pass (I think 80 is the minimum?) but that’s because I sat much more important exams for my life in 2023 so Japanese studies really fell by the wayside from like March-October. Happy I passed anyway and hopefully I can get back on track in 2024
