How was your test?
I was finally able to pass the N1 after falling three points short twice. Got carried by my reading section. Looking forward to diversifying my Japanese study now.
How about you? Were you able to pass and which level? Which sections did you struggle with or excel in?

I passed N2! Listening score 60 out of 60 . Vocab and grammar super low… I need to work on my kanji.
Passed N3 with a 29/60 in Grammar. I thought less than 30 in any category would result a fail, but I’m glad I passed. On to N2!
I haven’t taken the test for long but failed N1 few times as I didn’t study well just went by luck.
How did you study for N1 from N2? What materials did you use and what did you focus on?
Where do you see the results? I logged into myJLPT but don’t see them..
Passed my very first jlpt exam(just N3 though).
Pretty satisfied at the result because I got 129/180 just by self study. Now I think, I am going to prepare for N2 starting now.
I passed my N3 and my wife passed N2 today. What a mood to start the week.
Passed N1! Never have to waste my time on that again!
Passed N1!
Passed N3!
Vocabulary 50%
Reading 50%
Listening 80%
Congratulations everyone
Managed to pass N1 while sitting for the exam 4 months pregnant haha. Super thrilled because my husband promised me a pizza party if I passed so we’re about to eat GOOD in our house.
I’ll have to formally thank our lil guy for passing me his inherent Japanese knowledge when he’s born and grown.
Been here for 8 years. No Japanese before coming. I have gone through various waves of enthusiasm for Japanese and studying. I am happy to say I passed N3 on the first try with no prior JLPT experience with a 134/180. All self-study.
For the folks out there who have given up on improving: You know more Japanese than you think. You have probably picked up a lot and just need a bit of formalizing and test prep.
Passed N2 by self study. It was my first time to take the test. I was really worried but somehow it worked out well. Need to study more on the grammar though!
Failed N2, which came as no surprise as had zero prep. But I only failed by 4 marks (just the vocab section) so it hurts a bit 😅
I passed N1 (with 131/180)!
I am so happy because it was my last shot to take the exam in Japan before I move to a city that doesn’t host the JLPT.
It was my second time taking N1, the first time was in 2018 and I failed 80/180 at that time.
I can finally sell all the books I used to prep.
Congratulations, /u/amisare 🤩
