So tired. Just took a mock JLPT 2 paper (I believe it was from 2001’s test). The difference between level 2 and level 3 is… huge. Though I scored 381/400 for level 3, I’m no even sure if I can make the passing mark of 60% for this paper… Seriously. The grammar section consist of about nine comprehension passages on top of the usual one-line questions. Nine. Each one has anywhere from one to five question, and you have to read the entire thing even if there’s only one question for the passage. Finishing the paper within the time limit already took a lot of effort, so checking through once more is practically out of the question.

Sample question:

若いころはお金がなくて、その日の食事にも困ることがあった。そんなとき下宿のおばさんは、私に食事をごちそうしてくれたばかりか、＿＿＿＿＿。
１　払えずにたまっていた部屋代を払わせた
２　食事代のかわりに下宿の掃除をしてあげた
３　下宿代をかせぐためのアルバイトをされた
４　しばらく暮らせるだけのお金まで貸してくれた

なに？ T_T
