It was good! Listening was easy and readings were pretty good...the dad thing was so cute. I wrote too much/not enough for writing but oh well. Pleasantly surprised overall.
@Snoople ~ Really? How'd you run out of time? I had time to double check my writing 8D
Oh - the second reading passage: the last question about Osamu's advice to Masa. That was a weird/complex question... :/

bahh, yuck.
Rushed my 10 marker cause I didn't balance my time properly. Wrote like a page for the five marker and one of the four markers lol.
Ah....balls.

Haha. When the question asked "What would Osamu tell Masa?" I felt like saying:
Osamu would tell Masa to man the hell up and stop complaining like a little b***h about the size of buttons. And FYI Masa - children's toys are "embarassing" colours because they are for, well, CHILDREN!

well i dont know..
i probably ended up wasting 10 minutes after listening finished to fix my answers and look up pointless things in dictionary..
i wasted too much time on those readings mainly
by the time i got to the responding i had about 40 minutes to do it and the writing and from there i panicked and mental blanked ..
I EVEN FORGOT HOW TO WRITE 'A' in hiragana..
well probably wont get a band 5..
anyone know approx cut offs?

Aren't cut offs determined by a panel after the exams have been marked. That's my understanding, anyway...that they look at the top mark and the bottom mark and moderate from there.
over all i thought it was a good test. it wud have been nice if they made it a bit harder for scaling purposes...
anyway wat did everyone get for the multiple choice question??
it was really weird, but i settled with "neigbours"

^ I chose neighbours as well.
From what I could hear, the lady came back from vacation and I assumed left the keys with the man (her neighbour) as he said something about giving them back to her? They couldn't have been flatmates because the female speaker mentioned a husband and the man mentioned a son? (And there were two obviously incorrect options that could be easily crossed out).
I don't know, but thats my assumption.

^ yer i was tossing between flatmates and neighbours, and assumed neighbours bcoz a son and a husband was mentioned.
also they used plain form, which is probly much more typical of neighbours than flatmates..so i think were right

yeah .. my whole class was like .. why did this paper seem so much nicer than all the past papers? haha.. but oh well .. it was a fun exam to do (because all my other exams had weird surprises ew.)
but yeah .. for that question .. i chose neighbours .. because he returned the key and she said she went on a trip with her husband -- and idk about you guys, but i dont think many married couples actually have flatmates.

and i ran out of time to finish off my 10 marker writing!! daaammn.
