Bring it on!
Just sat a mock level 1 Japanese Language Proficiency. I'm happy to say that I passed the sucker with a 79! My grammar was still lacking, but I managed to pass all the individual sections - as per the guidelines for the new test. Hell yeah! I know the new test is going to "measure slightly more advanced skills," but I'm ready for it. I was planning on a really harsh study menu for the next month in preparation for the big day, but with everything else that's going on, I think I really just need to focus on grammar and reading.
