I finished the JLPT N3 official test practice book and although the listening and reading was pretty easy, I had a hard time with Kanji. My biggest problem is the correct reading of certain Kanji and they make it really hard by giving such similar options! From now on I need to work on vocabulary and make sure I have the correct pronunciation down. I realized I took a long time to read as well, but I also saw that the allocated time for the reading test is quite long, so I'm not too worried about that. I wanted to photocopy the pages with the reading drills, but I know I'll remember it better if I write it by hand. Here's some of the reading sections I wrote down last night. I'm keeping track of the hours I study. Last night I studied for 2.5 hours, and a bit in the morning as well. Feeling good!
