I’m really struggling to decide whether I should take JLPT N3 this December or wait until July next year.
The main reason isn't actually my Japanese level — it's my right hand.
I've been having hand pain, and sometimes even writing just one sentence can make it hurt. Because of that, I've had to seriously cut back on writing.
It might sound like a small thing, but writing is a really important part of how I study Japanese. I like writing grammar examples, making flashcards, taking notes, and actually putting what I learned on paper.
Now I can't really study the way I used to.
I tried switching to just reading and Anki, but honestly, I'm losing motivation. It feels strange because I want to study, but the way I normally study has suddenly become difficult.
I'm also completely self-studying. Before N4, I didn't really have anyone guiding me, so I mostly followed the Migi JLPT app. Later I realized that it was teaching me some lower-N3 grammar even though I was studying for N4, so fortunately a lot of N3 grammar isn't completely new to me.
I've seen people say they passed N3 → N1 without writing anything. Maybe that's completely true, and maybe everyone just learns differently. But I tried studying that way, and I've realized that I personally struggle to stay motivated without writing.
That's why I'm stuck between two choices:
December: Take N3 while I still have momentum, even if I'm not completely ready.
July: Give myself another 11 months, hopefully let my hand recover, and study properly without feeling like I'm fighting my body just to study Japanese.
Part of me really wants to take N3 in December because I've already come this far. But another part of me is scared that I'll push myself too hard, lose motivation, or make my hand worse.
I know July isn't that far away, but when you've been studying toward something, postponing it can feel really disappointing.
For those who went from N4 → N3, what would you do in my situation?
Would you take the December exam as a challenge, or wait until July and give yourself more time?
I honestly don't know what's the right decision anymore.
I'm studying for JLPT N3, and honestly this has been really depressing.
For about a week now, my right hand has been hurting. I can still move it and make a fist, but writing starts to hurt, especially my middle finger. I don't even know exactly what caused it. Maybe I just overused my hand from writing grammar notes, making flashcards, typing, hand-washing clothes, washing dishes, and other chores.
The worst part is that handwriting is how I study. I write almost everything—grammar explanations, vocabulary, and 4×6 flashcards. Now I can't.
It's even affecting simple things. I've dropped the knife a few times while slicing vegetables, and I've started using my left hand for a lot of things.
I'm trying digital flashcards now, but it just doesn't feel the same. I feel like I absorb information much better when I write it myself.
Has anyone else gone through this? Were you still able to pass the JLPT without handwriting? Did your hand eventually recover?
I really hope this is temporary.
I registered for the JLPT N4 exam this coming July 5. Since I'm self-studying and haven't attended a Japanese language school, I chose the N4 course in the Migi JLPT app and studied with it for about six months.
And I didn't even study N5 first. I jumped straight into N4.
Recently, I realized that much of the grammar and vocabulary it teaches seems closer to N3 than N4. My brain was fried because I thought I was preparing for N4 the whole time.
What's even stranger is that when I switched to the N5 course, it felt more like N4. When I selected N4, it seemed to jump to N3.
Has anyone else noticed this, or am I missing something? Its july 1 today I still have time to grind for my July 5 exam, but I wish I had realized this sooner. 😭
