Jlpt is over - how does everyone feel?

Discussion

Jlpt n1 and n2 just finished in Japan.

I took the n2 and feel pretty crappy about it - the reading seemed harder than the one I took (and failed) 3 years ago. That brain question messed me up.

But conversely, the listening felt fine compared to last time, maybe even a little easy.

My test centre staff were super strict, 3 people failed due to not having their phone in their envelopes despite it being in their bag - we all had to wait for it to be resolved at the end for like 20 mins. To their credit, the explanation wasn't entirely clear - many people could've easily assumed that having it stowed away in their bag was enough. So please be careful and follow the rules to a T. One guy failed for simply coming in when the door was closed, despite it being before the explanation of the exam. This was only in a room of 60. Another girl failed because she touched her phone in her pocket during the break.

How does everyone feel about it?
