Was horrible. The test was computer-based for the most part but we had 40 sentences to complete by hand at the end. Questions were multiple choice but with the time limit you really had no time to seriously look at the question. Listening part of the exam sucked and I was simply guessing in the end. You literally had 2-3 seconds to look over the choices and pick one. I felt rushed and there were a few questions in which I knew I picked the wrong choice (and I knew which one was right) as soon as I clicked it. Kanji part was ok but still missed a few. Written part was HORRIBLE. Did not have enough time in the end and left a lot blank. Maybe I should have studied my grammar more but I am not sure if that would have helped that much. They even asked us to grade ourselves. I put...14 out of 40. Seriously.
Well, hopefully this will not come back and haunt me. The levels are ranked from 100-700, with 100-400 being elementary, 500 being low intermediate, 600 being high intermediate, and 700 being advanced. Looking at the classes I took in college I should probably have tested into 600 or 700, but I am simply hoping for 500 right now. Do not want to retake elementary Japanese, hell no. Well, I guess this is what happens when you have a 3-4 month break where you stop using a language. Time for some self-study.
