JLPT - Level 4 - Take 2!

After only 3 hours sleep I had to be up at 6am to take an early train to Fukuoka. All across Japan, foreigners are taking early morning trains, buses and subways to various JLPT test sites. Yes it’s test time again! I was disappointed not to pass last year and I failed by such a small amount which made it more annoying.

There were a lot of familiar faces as the test is popular and many ALT’s take it. The test itself wasn’t bad but the listening test was trickier than the previous years and the harder questions towards the end (where I usually start as those are the ones I understand) were also harder than the past papers I tried.

As soon as the test was over I felt sick. I think my body had been waiting to give out but thankfully it lasted until the JLPT was over. After a long, uncomfortable train ride home I dosed up on hot lemon and went to my happy place – bed!
