>it was filled with tricks and turns
There are no tricks and turns in the N2. You either knew the content and have the ability to answer the questions in time or you didn't. You didn't.
Read content covering a variety of topics to ensure your vocabulary is not focused on just one area.
Read books. You need to be comfortable reading long enough blocks of text in a short period of time to pass the reading section.
Listen to news broadcasts.
Flashcards are fine but they shouldn't be your primary form of studying.
Writing and production are not part of the test. If you're studying just to pass the N2, you don't need to focus on these.

I got 86 points.
It was my first JLPT test, so I wasted a ton of time on the 読解 part because I didn't know you were suppose to do it fast.
Stupid mistake, really.

just do the shin kanzen master books

>There are no tricks and turns in the N2.
yes the fuck there was, slight misspelling or slightly incorrect answers on the listening.

>>46121796
yeah, that's the part I ran out of time on. Next time I will do that one first.

>slight misspelling
guarantee you there were no misspellings lmfao
just face the fact that you suck at japanese
and its because none of the "methods" you listed involve anything that would make you better at it
next time try READING AND LISTENING TO REAL JAPANESE
like a lot

>read a series raw and start writing paragraphs at least once a week.
Quick question, you mean reading a whole raw series per week, right?

YEAH

N2 taker here. I only got a 111, but at least I passed.
I also ran out of time because I didn't bother studying for the exam until the night before and didn't have time to do a mock exam to prepare myself.
The reading section's difficulty increase compared to N3 was quite unexpected for me. I ended up putting down random answers for 7 questions (which I got lucky to get 2 corrects on), but I completely lost my head during the listening section because for some reason I thought the reading section was only a total of 15 questions and there is no way I'm getting a 20/60 on that section (It turned out there was 20 questions and I got 40 something on reading).
Anyway, it was a shitty experience overall but I have no one but myself to blame since I didn't bother to prepare myself.

This is a mistake. you can very easily lose the track of time and waste all your time on the reading section, leaving not enough time to answer the language knowledge section which is the "point earner" section of the exam.
Correct strategy is to rush through the goi section to leave as much time as possible to dokkai. Don't make my mistake of wasting too much time on the "fill in the space marked with star" type grammar questions.
Also, the last few reading questions with flyers/schedules are very easy to do fast, do them first.
It's also generally better to skim through 2 reading passages and trying to guess the answers rather than fully reading 1 passage, if you feel like you are running out of time.

Can anyone tell me what this says?

>this guy who was top of his class in the number two Japanese language course in the country and only American in the Japanese university and was in the 85th percentile on the JLPT N1 sucked at real world Japanese (his assessment). Reason being he didn't engage and consume real Japanese or when he did, he was using English subtitles.

>I've translated hundreds of tankobon, subbed movies, translated video games (yes, for money), and I flunked the N1 by three points a few years ago. No real reason to take it when your resume speaks for itself.
Ah yes, so this is why their are so many mistranslations
