Are the results viewable online?
No, that would require them to bring the test into the 21st century. It's still hovering around 1967. 
They also posted an "explanation" of the new scaled score calculation method... which when I read it, came across as complete gibberish, even in English.
It reminded me of the Monty Python skit where John Cleese in drag plays a "scientist" called Anne Elk who starts going on and on about "This is my theory, which is mine," about dinosaurs.
No results yet in this part of the US... not that I expect to see mine for another 2 weeks or so, nor do I have high expectations after reading the scaled score stuff.

Wow you passed by a long shot, well done I hope I get some of that reading love, because I didn't think I did well at all.

That's weird though, because last year I saw my results online first, then got the mail.

It's because of the database getting hacked or whatever this year. For some reason, canceling the online-registration also meant canceling the entire database of scores. In the past you could check online (testament from Ryuujin27 [i mean myself...maybe?]), so it's not necessarily that they're 'stuck in 1967.'
Although I will say that this is probably the longest I've ever had to wait for results for a scantron test.
I got my results for taking N1 and I PASSED!!!!!
Vocabulary/Grammar: 49/60
Reading: 24/60 (hahaha)
Listening: 39/60
Total Score: 112/180 合格!!!
what a relief!! on one hand, it's freeing knowing I never have to take the test again, but on the other, it's harder to continue to study without a clear goal. the JLPT was definitely my biggest motivation to study, and now that motivation is gone.
it's weird though -- before I got to this level, I had this idea in my head that once I got there I would automatically have amazing, flawless Japanese by necessity, as if in order to pass I pretty much had to be "done" learning Japanese... but really, that's not true at all. level 1 is just the beginning. there's still so much to do.

Pretty much all true, it is only the beginning. Still got more learning to do!
JLPT N2
Language Knowledge (Vocabulary/Grammar): 34/60 (Vocabulary: A, Grammar: B)
Reading: 33/60
Listening 31/60
Total score: 98/180
合格！ PASSED!
But ぎりぎり
(Btw, nobody posted it yet I think, so: (R=number of correct responses)
A: R > 67%
B: 34% < R < 66%
C: R < 34%)
The result surprised me. I was kinda expecting to pass, but when I was preparing (in mock exams) my vocab and reading were pretty good, around 80% correct. It was also what I was expecting, since my vocab and reading skills, due to RTK and Core 6000 (or Core 10000 in my case) are comparatively good. During the test I also felt it went somewhat similar to the mock exams, so 33 out of 60 is (a lot) lower than I expected.
On the other hand, I thought the listening part was a disaster. I understood somewhat, but could not quite get the grasp of what was being said. I wouldnt say I just guessed, but I wasnt sure of around 60% of my answers. After the test I was thinking: 'well I screwed up the listening part, but maybe Ill get the required 19 for that section and Ill make it up with my reading and vocab.'
Anywho, I passed, and with a balanced effort I guess If I ever take N1, I will not do it this summer, don't feel like wasting money on a test Im (pretty) sure I would fail

Looking at the wikipedia data for N2 pass rates, they went down by 15% for Japan test-takers just from the July-Dec tests, and down by 10% for overseas test-takers. (33% pass rate for December overseas test-takers?!? You gotta be kidding me.)
Looks like only N2 showed such wild swings in the data, too. Figures.
I just wish they didn't have to decide to make me their friggin' guinea pig when it's the last thing I need.

If you can pass with a 24/60 in reading then maybe I have a chance yet!
