didnt realize there is a thread about this.

hi guys, i took N3 and N2 (in 1999 and 2000) and then studied in Japan. was there for 6 years. didnt find the need to sit for N1 as my 6 years there was good enough and there is no requirement for me to sit for N1.
its like no meaning.
like asking a nihonjin to sit for JLPT, lol.

anyway, if u guys have any question, can ask me, maybe i can help.
