Hi all, I hope you are getting stuck into your revision. Personally, the more I study the more areas I find which need attention. It's quite depressing.
I plan to study in the coming week and then do very little on the Saturday before the exam. How about you?
Here are a few links (more on my website) which may or may not have been posted here previously:
hello, thank you!! i was wondering how to study kanji to confirm my knowdelegde...and is like you said, quite depressing but it helps me some way.
THANK YOU!!
Just a few more days.. good luck everybody!
My pratice tests are going ok, but I can't shake the feeling it's all going to go horribly wrong on the day. (笑)
I'm just going to keep going with the practice tests and brush up on anything difficult. And panic, and avoid studying lots, probably.
Hi MoniCat. Good luck with your kanji and thanks Wesu for providing the link again.
Kat, I'm trying my best not to panic either. The way I see it is that a few days of cramming is worth the effort but probably won't make a huge impact. It's what we've done until this point that will be the big factor.
last year i studied my butt off and passed 2級 but this year i've taken the opposite approach. i know i won't get
the 70% i need to pass 1級 so i'm not studying very much for the actual test. i live in Japan and use Japanese everyday, but not the kind of grammar that is on 1級.
i'll be perfectly happy with 50% on the test this year.
no practice tests, no stress, just my regular study of 1 newspaper article a week with my private teacher, and a book on Japanese history. the 紅葉 are at their peak in Kyoto now, and it's breathtakingly beautiful. cramming for the test will improve your score by about 1 to 2%, so for those of you on the border line, it's really useful. the atmosphere at the test in Japan is nice, cuz you always run into old friends or people that you met at last year's test. it's also fun to see who gets kicked out of the test (there's always at least 1 red card every year) good luck to everyone. don't forget to bring a lunch!
tomorrow is the day. I finished the 語彙 practice (the 完全マスター book) for 一級. and actually すでに完全に忘れてしまった. i'm sooo afraid of the test tomorrow, coz i'm not ready, not ready at all. anyway, i try to do my best. お互いに頑張りましょう!
On my side it seems too late to worry about the issue of this.
試験の前に少しだけ赤ワインでも飲もうかな。。
And for those like me who'd a lack of study this year, just consider that you have still 25% to find randomly the correct answers, at least better than 宝くじ。。
