Sorry for late thread this week! Had a weird Sunday, so it slipped my mind.

So yeah, have you done any language learning this week, and how did it go?

AHHHH I PASSED A FULL MOCK EXAM!

I cried, I laughed, I ate celebratory pizza. And I still have two full months of runway to build in a nice buffer for bad luck on the real thing (it was a barely passing score).

Got lots of data now for a good plan: mostly improving reading speed, but also grammar flashcards and some targeted listening practice.

Onward and upward!

    That's awesome to hear! Congrats! I'm fully confident you'll pass the real thing as well.

    That said, building a buffer is easier said than done. What's the plan to improve reading speed? I guess it has to be just read a lot?

    Pretty much. I've actually got tons of Shin Kanzen Master's reading comprehension book I haven't finished yet, which is a nice, big pile of content at the same level and in the same language registers. I imagine all I have to do is go through it. That said, since I'm doing so well on the practice questions in the book, I might do some quick research on what I can do to concentrate especially on speed, since I imagine I'd at least double my score on the section if I didn't run out of time in it.
