Test Weirdness
So my test today with the pile of kanji and sentence patterns and whatnot was today. They totally didn't test us on what I thought they were going to, and in fact tested us for being able write a bunch of characters that we thought were reading-only characters.
When I turned in my test I confirmed this with the teacher, who agreed that it was strange. She decided that they wouldn't count, but if you were able to write them anyway, you get a bonus point per word. So 0-4 points, depending on how much you over-studied. At most, that's nearly an eight-point difference, so I'm glad I mentioned it.
They tested us on a couple of random things that I completely forgot they had explained - pure luck I remembered them anyway, I guess.
The sentence pattern ones weren't so bad, though I'm not sure if my "Sometimes you get tasty kuriimu-pan, sometimes you get not so tasty kuriimu-pan" sentence will do well.
In the end, I knew all the kanji we were actually supposed to know, and all the ones that came out on the test, and I can only think of one other place that I messed up, so if it were anything else, I'd think a low A would be very possible. It's Japanese, though, so I expect a high C at best.

Interesting.
It sounds like the kanji went well for you! Hurray!
Also, I know what you mean about feeling like you get one score and it turns out to be another...in Japanese, specifically.
Mmm...either way, kuriimu-pan!
You have my agreement there.
