My humble 2016 JLPT N3 thread

So I didn't pass the JLPT N3 this time around. Yes, I know that I don't have my official score yet. But basically, I was doing ... um ... enough guessing on the reading and listening parts to know that I didn't pass. Or if I did, it was simply out of luck. 

Either way, it's not a problem. It just means that 12 months wasn't enough for me to go from passing N4 to N3. I'm thinking that if I put in the same effort this year, it shouldn't be a problem. Or at the very least, I should see a huge jump in my score.


Having a dedicated thread to the test last year was very helpful, since I mostly self-study. And I just finished another chapter of my kanji book, so I thought to write it down somewhere and help me keep up my motivation. If anyone else wants to join, it'd be fun and help liven things up for me.

So my latest mini-milestone was finishing chapter 7 of my kanji book. There are 25 chapters. So if I finish 1 a week that's about more 5 months. I'd like to finish this book, as well as my remedial grammar book, sooner rather than later. It's too early to get a firm deadline for myself, but I'm thinking that the first half of the year would be good.
