&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Hey - I studied with the Unicom series last time so this time I want to try Kanzen Master. Now I find that it's not that easy finding all the books for Level 1 (not mixed Level 1 and 2 like amazon has), unless you want to pay $50 per book on ebay.
&lt;br /&gt;
TheJapanshop.com has grammar (for $20), but where do I get the rest? Please recommend a good webstore (USA), my google skills fail me today.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Argentine results were up yesterday, today I went to receive mine: 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Writing - Vocabulary: 96/100
&lt;br /&gt;
Listening: 82/100
&lt;br /&gt;
Grammar: 180/200
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Total's 358/400. Easy to know if you have approved or not, they had two kind of envelopes, the big ones with the certificate inside, and the small ones with the score report only.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A bit surprised, it is the highest I had gotten counting the test exams I did from previous JLPT. I wonder if they have been becoming easier, or if I just took the real one more seriously... anyways, now to study for N4.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Hi,
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
文字・語彙 : 76/100
&lt;br /&gt;
聴解 : 35/100
&lt;br /&gt;
読解・文法 : 148/200 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Total = 259/400(64.75%) 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Given the scores like this, i think you need to work hard on your listening which is pulling you down.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
With such scores, u need to work very hard to pass N3 which is a hurdle because it requires you to pass all sections before u pass the whole paper.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Watching Japanese TV via Keyhole is recommended.

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;It would be helpful if you would mention where you want to take the test. E.g. in Germany I just had to send an eMail and got some forms I had to fill out and send back by snail mail.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Title shocked you! ) well, that’s the idea. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It’s my very first so I wanted to write a post about it. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
But I did pass Level 3, although not with high score but still this was my first ever JLPT shiken and i'm happy that i passed the exam in my very first attempt. 
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally! They’re here! MY JLPT level 3 results! (Actually, they were a week ago). Three months of trepidation. Of nervously waiting by the letterbox and checking every JLPT website for some semblance of news. I kid, right..? 
&lt;br /&gt;
So, how did I do? so allow me to selfishly relish in my own achievement for just a moment more… Woooooooo!!!!!!! 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*Phew* Okay, now let’s look at the reality of the result and what it actually means. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Today morning i got a call from my sensei to come and collect my certificate. I took the level 3 JLPT test on December 6th and passed! I passed by the skin on my teeth, but I still passed. The passing level was 240 out of 400 and I passed with 259. I thought you had to pass each section, but apparently you only had to pass on the total score. 
&lt;br /&gt;
As you can see my score deatils below my score in Listening section refelects how horrible i am when it comes to listening, thats always been my weakest area anyway i'm working on it and trying my best to improve in this area! 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Any suggestion are much appreciated(esp. on listening section) 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The points I got were: 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
文字・語彙 : 76/100 
&lt;br /&gt;
聴解 : 35/100 
&lt;br /&gt;
読解・文法 : 148/200 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Total = 259/400(64.75%) 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Well, I guess that’s all.

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Thought I'd share this site, it's useful!
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.studycell.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.studycell.com&lt;/a&gt;  lets you create your own flashcards for online use, and also to download to your mobile (free!).
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I'm using the flashcards on a Nokia 5800 xpress music, and no problems.
&lt;br /&gt;
Romaji only though, as the N5800 doesn't read asian fonts &amp;gt;&amp;lt;  Kana/ kanji possible if your phone can read them.
&lt;br /&gt;
Still handy for vocab practice on the go!
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Approx 99 flash cards per set you create.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;I used Unicom's Preparatory course for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test.  You can get them for each level (going by old level system, that is).
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Had no problems passing the old level four in December using this.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
