No more JLPT!
The results for the 2006 Japanese Language Proficiency Test are out. It’s official: NO MORE JLPT FOR DM EVER AGAIN! YAY! I passed JLPT level 1! WOOHOO! I am now officially qualified to look down on lousy fansubbers and stir up intarweb doramas.

The Victory Pose!
I scored 335/400 overall with the breakdown as follows:
Vocabulary: 69/100
Listening: 90/100
Reading & Grammar: 176/200
I was 8 points short of my goal of 343. For the record, I scored 381 for JLPT 3 in 2004 and 362 for JLPT 2 in 2005. I did quite badly for the vocabulary section. I guess this is what I get for being too lazy to memorize kanji.
So, how did everyone else do?

Congrats DM!
What is the JPLT like exactly? I’m going to major in Japanese so I’ll take them. Any hints or tips?

Congratulations dude! I’m impressed with your reading and grammar score (it should be 176/200 though).
I took the level 1 test too, but I didn’t pass. T_T Oh, well, I’m sure I’ll pass this year because I’ve actually started studying.

Wow you’re so amazing, you got 176/100. 76 more than the maximum mark! No wonder you’re the premier anime blogger in Singapore. LOL.

Thanks everyone.
Koji Oe: It’s completely multiple choice and is very bias towards comprehension ability as opposed to application ability. Speaking is not tested at all and I suck at speaking so it’s just as well.

Congrats. Now you’re qualified to be Japanese. Next I hope to see you get Japanese scholarship.
