So I took the JLPT 2-kyuu test on Sunday, and it was a bit harder than the practice tests, but that's how it always is with me. I get nerves! It makes it hard for me to do the listening portion, especially.
Anyway, it might be presumptive of me to give advice on writing the JLPT, considering that I might not have even PASSED the damn thing (I was getting 70-75 on my practice tests, so there's a chance I messed up and failed), but I figure I should write down my study tips while I still have them fresh in my mind. It's partly for my own benefit--the next time I take the JLPT, I want to study better instead of harder.

p.s. This Chinese site already has scans of this year's tests (except for 4-kyuu). 0_o
[Edit] This is NOT an ideal way to study Japanese. It is, however, not a bad way to cram for the JLPT.
