  • If you have a question about grammar, vocab, the story, cultural things or literally anything else related to the book — ask! There is really no need to be hesitant. If it’s something you are wondering about, chances are someone else will be thankful you asked first, lots of people enjoy answering questions, you learn something new, and the thread gets more lively. It’s a win-win on all fronts!

Oh look, I did finish on tike after all. So proud of Maru-chan :sparkling_heart:

As for the answer sheet, I’m still not sure exactly what happened. At first it sounded like the problem was that she had skipped a question, and now she would have to go over every single question again to see which one she skipped, all with only three minutes left. But then she shifted all of her answers down one row, so it sounds like she wrote her first answer in the wrong spot, and then consequently wrote all other answers one spot above where they should have gone. But, wouldn’t an answer sheet have numbers corresponding to the test sheet? :thinking:

She mentioned that it was 20 minutes per subject back to back, so it’s possible that all the tests were sharing one of those “fill in the bubble” answer sheets, like the JLPT does. If she already had a bunch of stuff filled in for the other subjects I could see it being easy to put her first answer in the wrong spot. But, yeah. The author does not really explain if she managed to find the question she missed and moved on from there, or if she realized her first answer was just in the wrong spot.
