4-kyuu passed! Thanks Jpod101.com
Actually, I took 4-kyuu back in 1999 when I was in high school. I did it again to see how things had progressed since then. I had no formal study since then, only Jpod101 and a kanji flash program. Onto the results!
Writing: 96/100
Listening: 71/100
Reading-Grammar: 155/200
TOTAL: 322/400
Very happy! I blew the first couple of listening questions because I was expecting the dialogue to be repeated, so I wasn't concentrating as hard as I should been. Had I known the format, I think I could have done better.
I don't have my results from high school, but I'm pretty sure this is an improvement. I know the listening score is much improved - I failed that section last time I took it. That's something I've noticed Jpod has helped me improve with in leaps and bounds - I was a terrible listener back then because I had no experience with any voices other than my teacher. Male voices? Forget it. So a massive thumbs up and thankyou for Jpod there - I'm so much more confident with listening now.
Now, onto 3-kyuu!
