Huzzah! N1, here I come (next July)!
Thanks! I felt the least confident with the listening portion, but mostly because a Chinese guy in front of me was coughing during a few of the questions. Turns out it was my best section of the three. I took 2kyuu last December and failed, but passed the new N2, which I actually felt was a bit harder than the old 2kyuu. N1, here I come (next July--this December is much too soon)!Kizyr wrote:Congratulations!
I passed it a few years ago. I have to say that it remains to-date the most difficult test I've ever taken.
I actually technically failed the listening portion, and had to make it up in the other two sections to compensate (reading I had nearly perfect scores on, so that helped). KF
Oh I didn't realize there was a difference between 2kyuu and N2... 2kyuu is what I passed; I took it before the new ones were rolled in.JediLeroy wrote:Thanks!

Well, according to official documents, the N2 is supposedly "about the same" as 2kyuu. In my experience, though, it was a bit harder. The listening section was actually much easier, but the vocab section seemed much more obscure. Not surprisingly, I did the worst on the vocab section.Kizyr wrote: Oh I didn't realize there was a difference between 2kyuu and N2... 2kyuu is what I passed; I took it before the new ones were rolled in.
...great, so this means that the books that I have to prep for 1kyuu aren't as accurate, or what? Does N1 still cover the same material? KF
The change, according to what I read, was meant to address the big jump in difficulty between old level 3 and level 2 - so prep materials for level 1 ought to be fine. I'm counting on that myself, since I'm now signed up to take that bastard.Kizyr wrote:Oh I didn't realize there was a difference between 2kyuu and N2... 2kyuu is what I passed; I took it before the new ones were rolled in.
