やった

Bring out the wine, uncork the champagne and break open the sake barrel. I finally got the answer and I am now the proud owner of a JLPT level 3 certificate.

Here are my scores:
Writing-Vocabulary: 88/100
Listening: 78/100
Reading-Grammer: 187/200

Total: 353/400

I was quite surprised that I did my worst in listening. I thought that I had watched enough Japanese anime and old samurai movies to give me perfect listening skills but I guess I'm just not used to listening for whether Tanaka and Suzuki goes by bus or train to the airport. If only they would make the theme of the listening test more in my area of expertise, like how to kill the Lord of Darkness Shabranigdo and save the world from total destruction or how to protect a village of poor farmers from certain death.

But no more time for contemplation. I'm already busy studying for 2級.

今度も、頑張ります！
