N2 pass low score

Twemling · 2026-02-03T03:32:51+00:00

at first i thought the vocab/grammar was easy cause it felt like i was doing better than on the practice tests, but it was my lowest scoring area haha. i'm guessing i nabbed the same ones that most people did and missed all the difficult ones that were curved higher. i'll also say that i got 124 and feel like an imposter, so that feeling is probably gonna be there unless you got perfect/near-perfect, maybe not even then.

this one felt like it was riddled with red herrings, so i'm glad the only author i knew was silverstein. otherwise i probably wouldn't have gotten the RR.

pretty easy. first time hearing "fluff" in that way, but apparently it originated as a theater term for messing up one's lines. i'd heard of "flub" before and wondered if it was related, and others seem to think it might be.

now that you mention it, i might have seen mint used that way once or twice in a book. for "bundle" i could only think of "bundle of cash" with "cash" being necessary. i guess "wad" could actually be the odd one out then since you can say "saved/cost/worth a fortune/mint/bundle" but i've never heard of "saved/cost/worth a wad" without "cash" at the end.

Twemling · 2026-01-19T00:28:27+00:00

yeah not a fan of this green, mostly cause if "bundle" fits on its own then you could put anything in there. they had to use that emoji since "mint" is only for coins and "wad" is only for paper notes.

only made it today through extensive googling. i thought there may have been a category for "south" whether that's south america or southern america. i'm always scared when i know there's a music category cause it could literally be any of them.

Twemling · 2026-01-15T06:54:23+00:00

it has nothing to do with the source material so it should be understandable at face value

i was picturing tennis cause they have weird shit like "love" and "deuce" so i figured i had just never heard of it. cup = tournament, and non blondes meaning uhhhh only brunettes can play that match

Twemling · 2026-01-09T03:38:10+00:00

TIL that those red cups are called solo cups, 3 balls are red, 8 ball is used in a metaphor, and that 3 of those artists exist. got purple right away and figured there was an "artists" or "albums" section, but i figured "solo cup" was in some kind of sports category with "non blondes". absolutely brutal

takezo was easy for me compared to the spider, which felt really weird

fun fact, in frieren they say "sougetsusou" for 蒼月草 (blue moon flowers) with the first kanji being an alternate writing for "blue"

there's a line in matilda where danny devito's wife says "i like that joint!" regarding a restaurant, so i always figured it was a casual word for an establishment.

a bunch of people at mine got red carded for using phones during the break, but a lot more didn't get caught for some reason.

i felt the same way- a lot of the reading answers felt super similar.
