Anyone else waiting on JLPT results?

Postby ssb » Sat Feb 11, 2012 11:35 am

January and February have been an excruciating waiting game between JET and JLPT. I took N1 in December and I'm about ready to go crazy if I don't get my score soon. This on top of JET is just too much...

The Japan Foundation said for US peeps that they needed address confirmations by Feb 13th. So I have a feeling results will be sent out no later than next week, I think. Anticipating my failtastic N4 results. I knew I bombed that test. Left with such a major headache.

I know people in Japan got them a while ago, Korea too.. Canada may be different too, I guess.

I just hope and pray it comes soon so I can stop having a heart attack every time I check the mail :(

Whilst you're all waiting, maybe one of you clever folk can answer me this!

I'm doing JLPT5 practice questions at the mo, I'm hoping to take the exam in the summer. I got them all right except this one:

弟はへや*blank*そうじをしました

A:が B:を C:に D:の

Apparently the answer is D. But why? I'd have thought the room was the direct object of the verb clean so it's B. Or I thought it could be C because the room is a place.

Also, in JLPT5, how many time do they play each listening recording? I usually have to hear it at least twice before I get it. If they only play it once I suspect I might fail that section!

You don't (in most circumstances) double up an を. There is the verb souji suru (without the を) - so if they had used this, you would then use を. They're basically turning 'heya no souji' into a noun phrase, so the whole phrase becomes the object, the verb simply suru

Ah, I see what you mean. Thanks for that. :D This is the problem with learning the language on my own through textbooks. There's no-one to explain things I don't get. :?

You'll rue the day you made that offer; I'll be driving you mad after weeks of non stop questions! :twisted: lol thanks, I'll pm you whenever they occur to me. I'm doing a Michel Thomas audio course at the mo so it's nice and easy compared to my evil textbook. I'm in the Midlands by the way.

You have a CIR interview coming up right? Good luck! :)

I took Level 4 and we only got to hear each recording once. However, they spoke at a fairly slow pace and there were a lot of pauses for me to think about it, take notes, and pick the best answer. I'm pretty sure in Level 5 they will also only play it once, but they will speak even slower and it will be very basic stuff. I thought the listening part was going to be the hardest, and it was the easiest by a long shot! I could pretty much get everything by context clues.

I took N3 for the first time.... I'm not expecting passing results. Since I'm a Japanese major at my university we had a JLPT Prep class which we were able to take the actual JLPT or the final but that class was such a mess that I didn't feel I got ample studying done. orz

I felt the audio portion was a tad bit faster than anticipated on the n4. Specially that one question about the teams and the colors and what team the girl got put on. Like who talks like that.....

For N3, we were only allowed to listen to the audio once. There was this awkward "break time" music in between the listening sections that made everyone laugh. I didn't think the speed of the conversations was particularly fast or anything though..
