How to pass The JLPT 3 Test
It made me
happy 
"It is wonderful to hold a certificate that stands for my love of Japanese. I know I will someday also hold my own against the JLPT 2 and 1"
How I did it: Took the exam on December 2006 after two and a half years of college classes. The college classes which I attended followed and completed the Situational Functional Japanese book series, which I believe are wonderful textbooks for the adult learner, even thou perhaps they didn't call for my attention like a younger-student-in-mind textbook would have.
Resources: I specially recommend

Spice up my December 7th

I think I could see myself working in Japan for some strange reason. This is the first step for me. I think I could pass level 4 today, so I’ll work on level 3. I have one level 3 book from Unicom, and many kanji books, so this should be fun.
I intend to pass JLPT 3 This December...

Can I do it? Will I do it? Will I make the necessary sacrifice?

results are out

Well results are out.
With 52%, I failed.
Really if I had studied, I could’ve passed. Though it I took the test now I’d do worse. My Japanese ability is getting worse and worse and it’s all thanks to my lack of studying…
really though, it’s not a big deal to me anymore.
I don’t know if I’ll ever be taking the JLPT again, it was just something to do. I don’t intend to ever need the certification.
Good luck to those of you shooting for the JLPT this year. It’s not difficult, if you prepare. :)

I’ll find out sometime this month if a passed. If I didn’t, I’m giving up for now. I don’t actually need the JLPT for anything it was just something I did to try to motivate myself to study. It didn’t work. >.<
Really, I’ll be more surprised if I pass than if I fail.
This Year I will do This

I’ve been studying Japanese for just under a year and I’m close to knowing all kanji on the jouyou list, I’m more than comfortable with JLPT4 so my goal is to reach JLPT3 level of grammar/vocab by the end of this year ‘08.
Burning out
2 years ago
Well, two more weeks left till I take the JLPT 3. I’ve taken two practice tests so far and scored 73% on last test. I’ve got 2 more practice tests. If I work on my listening and vocab, I think I can get my score above 80%. When I take the test, I wanna walk out knowing that I passed it. I can’t wait two months to get the result. I’m feeling burnt out. I’ve been studying day and night. I had the whole day off today and planned on studying, BUT after watching tv, taking a nap, and going to the beach, its now 5pm and I’m surfing the internet. Gotta hit the books.

I’ve been here for 10 months and in that time have gone from nothing at all to spending the past week writing a 90 minute presentation about the political history of the U.K.
I set my sights on level 3 but the presentation has made me realise that with a little more dedication to the kanji study, level 2 must at least be feasible.
What would be the point in taking the level 3 test in December when I’m fairly sure I could pass it today? It’s hardly going to motivate me to study more.
Time to set my sights a little higher.
Oho yes. Level 2, here I come.
Probably fail it atrociously but let’s be honest, is having a certificate on my wall going to make that much of a difference in my life? I think not. Whereas the study I would do in order to attempt to get the certificate really will make a difference to my life here. Just imagine, being able to read! Good god, I’ve almost forgotten what literacy feels like!
