hey guys ~
good luck to anyone taking the JLPT soon! I wish you all the best :)
I would love you hear your thoughts about the JLPT in the comment section.
the long overdue JLPT video…
I took the JLPT N2 in December of 2021 when I was 17 (and my japanese was much better than it is now lol) and here I am finally sharing my experience and my tips for getting through it.
I managed to get 171/180 which is really impressive to me considering I had the worst test day imaginable. I was also self-studying and used zero paid resources. This was also my first time taking the exam so I was going in with no experience. I hope this video can be helpful to you in your JLPT journey ~
