It is here at last! The June Exam! (It's actually a little late, but some unforseen medical problems arose...) Here are the rules of this examination!

- NO CHEATING! All the lessons have been disabled until the test is over.

- Copy and paste the whole test into a PM to me and fill in your answers. Any tests submitted in this thread or without the questions copied in will not be counted.

- This test will be taken down at some point during the 30th of June. Act quickly!

- Scholarship gold will be awarded as follows:

Top Score: 3000
Second Place: 2000
Third Place: 1000
Fourth Place: 500
Fifth Place: 300

Only five winners will be chosen! (I'm not that rich...) In the event of a tied score, whichever test was submitted first will be counted.

- After all winners have been named, all scores will be posted and the test will be analysed in this thread.

- Any questions about this test can be posted in this thread.

Best of Luck to You All!

Send in whatever you can complete. I don't expect that I'll be getting too many complete ones. XD

I haven't taken the test down yet, mostly because I've only recieved three submissions. I'll be leaving it up for a few days yet, and hopefully I see a few more submissions.

Aw..I asian failed xd
Thank you!! I need to work on my katakana sweatdrop I have a little question for the hiragana, does it say hajimemashite. watashi hagiko desu. watashi hakijuu gosai desu. douzo yoroshiku (?). Which translate to: Nice to meet you. I am Hagiko. I am 15 (?). I hope we get along.
