Hey everyone, so basically, I'm a busy uni student who is trying to learn Japanese in parallel, but I'm inconsistent due to being busy/procrastinating sometimes (it's not really a priority for me and I don't mind the process being slow). So I began by learning kana then started WaniKani, and when I reached level 10 in WaniKani and found out I knew almost all the Kanji needed for N5 and the registration opened, I thought why not apply for it and then see later if I'm ready or not in other aspects, and I know that WaniKani isn't built for JLPT but I thought that the amount of vocabulary I learnt from WaniKani would be a good percentage of the vocab needed for N5. I later learnt it's only like 40% or something. And for grammar I reached about 44% of N5 grammar on Bunpro (not mastering all since I started late and was rushing, but surprisingly I was able to solve in practice tests a bit better than I expected)
So anyway, sorry for the long paragraph, right now I'm not 100% ready, maybe not even 70% ready. I tried some practice and they don't go so well but when I tried solving most of a full test I think I got about 60% or something.
I don't know if I should go. **I know N5 is useless, etc,.. it's just a kind of motivational and mental thing for me, would feel nice to have N5 certificate, and that could motivate me to learn faster/do more work.**. Also the test is not in my city so that's something lol Idk if I should travel just to fail. Another point is if I fail, it may actually demotivate me lol.
**TLDR**
I'm slowly learning Japanese, may have a 50/50 chance of passing JLPT N5, which I know is useless but would feel good and motivate me to study more, at the same time if I failed it may demotivate me. Should I attend the exam?
