93/100 Days of Productivity

got my J.Test certificate out and attached to it are THREE (3) pages that breaks down my marks section by section??? holy shit. I'm never taking any other japanese test again. this test rules!

Keep reading to see WHY the results are cool because I am in love with how detailed and helpful it is!!!

First one is simple. There are eight sections in the D-E (N3-N4) level test I took and this tells you how much I scored per section and what the level I got means in actual world terms.

Then this page tells you what level of Japanese ability I have per section. So here you can see where I had JLPT N3 equivalent ability (All Ds) and where I had N4 ability (That one E) and where I scored too low to get N4 (That writing section where there's just a dash instead of a word). So this way, I can actually SEE where my weak points are and rate them accordingly.

This should be over right? But WAIT.

A detailed breakdown of every single question they had in the test. This includes columns of numbers and a detailed explanation of what the each column means.

No. of questions in terms of appearance

The section they appeared in (1 to 8)

The answer I gave

The actual right answer

percentage of people that got the answer right (so 90% means this is an easy answer that almost everyone got right and 2% means it's so hard only 2 out of a 100 people got it right)

o x to indicate if I got the answer right

given points per question

points I got per question

Not only that, the paper notes that if your paper has * near an answer it means your marking was too light for the machine to process!

Look, I've taken so many language certificate tests and when the results come out, I'm left confused or annoyed or sad. "What did I get wrong?" "Was the question hard or am I just not studying enough?" etc etc. You get it. But like this test lays everything out for you to see. You can actually see the percentage of right answers and go "Oh, it was hard for everyone. Not just me."

I can't appreciate it enough. I love this test so much.

Also this test lets you take the question paper home and the right answers are released a week after the exam. I love that.

And the cost of this exam? In my country, it's $12 for any level. That's like maybe $2 more than JLPT.

I'm a week late lol but I have updates!!

- Started taking HSKK (Chinese Speaking Proficiency Test) advanced prep class :D We're all advanced learners in here with HSK 5/6 levels so the teacher is speaking in Chinese the whole time and I'm so happy that I can understand 99% of what she's saying but also I found out my Chinese speaking has really diminished 😭 Thank god I was able to introduce myself and answer her questions in Chinese but the mock tests are kicking my ass no doubt.

- J.Test (Japanese language exam) released the correct answers and I got enough marks to pass JLPT N3 level!! I'm still waiting for formal result announcements but I'm pretty sure I got it!! :D

- Started teaching a new basic Chinese class so now I have to teach 4 days per week. It's a bit tough but I think I'm making it work?

- the level 1 Chinese class I'm teaching is going to end in February so I'm gonna have to prep for the level 2 class and THEN prep and record my basic Korean classes. I'll tell y'all how it goes

- I have 100% grade but still missing classes for Pali Diploma and will have to make up a lot in the future. Thank god they don't grade attendances 😭

- I have a slight fever right now so I'm chugging Lipovitan-D to keep me going. I have a tarot session booked this afternon and a chinese class to teach so can't really rest Unfortunately :/ but Dimension 20 FHJY is helping me with my mood.

Anyways that's all! happy studying, y'all
