They actually managed to get all the mock exams graded in one day. I guess that's why the whole office was full of teachers when I went back Monday afternoon to pay tuition. I pulled out a 215/400 which sounds pretty bad but you only need a 60% to pass and at just shy of 54%, that's pretty close. All I have to do is squeeze out an extra 6% in knowledge or educated guesses in December and I'll be straight. We had to play with the rabbit drawings again today and sing the kindergarten song that goes with it. I have to admit that is a pretty big slap in the face but being able to get so close to passing level 2 means something must be working out.
It's not all good news though. The test on Chapter 13 this morning was pretty much garbage. If I got over 70% I would be surprised. The worst part is the last few questions weren't short essay style like previous tests but simple one question, one sentence answer format. Even with that working in my favor I found that I forgot tons of kanji over the summer break and I was struggling to remember words to make anything like a coherent answer. I'm also running on fumes, funds wise. At least until my next GI Bill payment. Paying tuition and rent back to back kills. At least when I come back to Japan in January I can score a legit part time job and get the cash flowing again.
