Omg, went to take my Jap test the other day at Bunka; 45 minutes paper, marked on the spot after completing, took less than 20 minutes before I got my results after finishing the paper. The paper was so much more difficult than I had expected. Maybe because I'm taking it individually, they decide to increase the level of difficulty so I'd fail, and end up retaking the basic course again >_>
Anyway my result was 25/80 for the paper. I couldn't understand quite a lot of the questions as there was quite a few usage of katagana in the close passages. And they weren't translated into romanji or hiragana for me to read or understand. Also they tested how to join 2 sentences together using the "te" form. There was also the polite and non-polite sentence changing. Not forgetting, changing the sentence from present tense to past tense form.
The most unforgettable question is the last part, translation of sentence.
1. Mr Yamada is good at playing tennis.
2. Who is reading newspaper over there?
3. I want a dictionary.
4. I have an umbrella.
5. What kind of movie did you watch?
Not too sure where I went wrong, but yeah, I failed.
Following that I went to TNT to collect my extravaganza Nagato.

Here comes the best part.
As my brother has already completed the basic EL1, and is proceeding with EL2, I went to read and check out the Vol.2 book. And I found that most of the stuffs that are tested in the paper was in that book. -_-
Now why the hell did they gave a EL2 paper to some1 who has not even completed the EL1 course fully?
Went to clarify with them this afternoon, booked another date for retest, and they reserved me a slot in the same class time as my bro =D
So now I just have to pass the paper and I'll be in the same stage as my bro =)
