  1. I don’t remember the context since this is a sentence from a few weeks ago.

    > まさか部室の横に自転車を置いて、文化祭の間ずっと漕いで発電するわけにもいくまい。

    Is わけにもいくまい equivalent in meaning to [訳には行かない](https://bunpro.jp/grammar_points/266)?

    The まさか just emphasizes the impossibility?

    Attempted translation: Putting a bicycle across the clubroom, there’s no way I can generate power by continuously pedaling during the school festival.

  2. How do you determine your level? I can probably comfortably pass the N4 JPLT exam, and know some N3 vocab, grammar and Kanji. Since I am learning N3 level things still, what would I be considered? I’m in a few discord groups and always put N4 to be safe, but I’m not sure how people label themselves.
