2007 Results

[Applecart]

Results have reached Australia (at last!).

So here we go:

文字．語彙- 84 (TKO)


聴解 - 53 (draw)


読解．文法 - 153 (won on points)


A not-so-grand total of 72.5%. I's the pass I said I'd settle for, but I'm expecting much more next time around.

Thanks to all the JLPTstudy team for your support and assitance!

By the way- since it seems that the original results post has gone for good, maybe the others could repost their scores in this thread.

I got stuck at 263 points which is no surprise since i didnt study at all. Not to mention that i got a 36 from Moji-Goi.

So the lesson we learn from here is: Dont underestimate 1級

Yay! Congrats, Applecart!!! Your 文字・語彙 score is amazing as always! 　さすがだね！！

Sparda, that's too bad- you were so close!! Are you going to go for it again this year?

Here's a repost of my scores:

文字．語彙- 80

聴解 - 73

読解・文法 - 182

TOTAL 335 / 400 合格 !

It will be interesting to see what the average scores were like for the test- I bet the majorty of people did horribly on the listening part! I still can't believe I even managed to get the score that I did.

All of the effort that I put into studying last year has really paid off- reading books, listening, and communication in general has become much easier for me. But I know that I still have a long way to go ^^;;;

I had the chance to test out how JLPT 1kyu is received in 就職活動 a couple of months ago. I was surprised that every person I interviewed with had heard about it, and the majority of the foreigners I interviewed with told me that they also hope to pass it some day.

So, JLPT 1kyu does look good on a resume (unless you're aiming to be a translator/ interpreter- I assume candidates with 1kyu are a dime a dozen). But by far the best benefit that I got from the experience was increased skills and motivation to keep going. The posters on this board helped a lot, too!!! Thanks again, guys!

To the 2007 1kyu 受験者 - have you been continuing your studies? I've been slacking over the past few months, but I think I'll take the BJT this year, just to see what it's like. How about you guys?
