Same here, I also can’t tell you how many times they went over the same set of instructions but I’m not complaining cause it seemed to keep anyone from messing up

Pumpernickel is very nice. Had to experiment a little bit though. Rye bread already has a rather mature taste by itself, and the fact that Pumpernickel has a bit of a sweet taste makes it difficult to combine. I tried just cheese at first, but cheese + sweetness isn’t a great combination. Adding mustard however, perfectly counterbalances the sweetness. Pumpernickel, cheese and mustard is a fantastic combination. Very full-bodied and rich.

So glad to finally get an update on the real story in this thread 
I knew it! That’s why you couldn’t get pleasant dreams until late on the night before the exam!

Absolutely - my proctors had physical cards that they showed us while explaining the rules and what would get you carded.

I also took N3 and Japan and found two parts of the listening part very hard and had to guess for parts of them. If I end up not passing it’ll very likely be to the listening section.

Jeah, especially near the end. I feel like I might have done slightly better if they’d switched the questions in the beginning and end. I found the first few questions pretty easy, but it got harder in the end when focusing was already getting harder anyways.

Yeah, the proctors in my room even showed the respective card for every rule they read out.

Are the online results next Monday?
I hope so, it’s the day I have to register if I want to pass the next session in my home city instead of taking a train, but December results where a bit late. Last year for the July session, they were released on the 25th iirc
pokes the jlpt website sadly

Do I logically know that there’s probably a lot of moving parts involved in the curving and scoring of the JLPT, as well as their process for booking venues and the time involved in doing so, and that their decisions regarding score releases and application periods are decided accordingly? Yes.
Is it still mildly rage inducing that we don’t get scores until applications will have been open for three days already? Yes.
**Note: This is for the test in Japan, I have no idea about elsewhere.
Anyway. Yay, scores incoming! Fingers crossed for everyone

just one more week of waiting…
Plus the time the server will be down when the global population of JLPT takers descend on that website 
I was hoping the results were being released on Monday, don’t think I can take another three days of waiting.
