During my practice with 完全マスター I discovered that there are so many grammar structures which are not mentioned in DIJG (like 90%). Is it that DIJG is too hard or too easy or what?
Anyway, working with 完全マスター is a little harder because it doesn't have an explanation for 3 pages about how to use gramatic structure. Instead you have like 5 lines.
I was trying to figure out the meaning of "~きり(だ)". First is ~だけ (how laconic) and I get this one but have problems with second: ~たままの状態が続いている. Two examples are:
-寝たきり老人が増えている。
-あの人は、アメリカへ行ったきりだ。
And to me none of them make sense. "Number of still sleeping elders is rising"? No way.

Yay, finished 完全マスター!
Ok, figured out what's going on with ~kiri. At least with the second sentence about America.
"あの人は、アメリカへ行ったきりだ。 " means "That person went to America (and didn't come back)", right?

I have the exam on Sunday at 12:00. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
I can already say that I will fail reading part :D Well, I will choose just the same answer for every question and I can pray for 25%! Probably kanji part and listening won't be that bad. With vocabulary and grammar I'm not sure. If I get decent amount of points from grammar, honestly, I will write a guide entitled "How to pass grammar part of JLPT lvl 2 learning 4 days before exam from Kanzen masutaa with hyper-brief explanations".
See you in two days!

I've just came back from the exam. Well, it was hard. Definitely they should have given us more time. Contrary to my expectations, my weak part was listening. I did surprisingly well on grammar and vocabulary.
So now I'm waiting 3-4 months for the results. I want to pass so much...
Let's begin TAC!

My TAC has begun!
I will complete information in first entry soon. Now I want to sort all my current knowledge of Japanese because it's kind of messy after learning for the exam. So training already known kanji, vocab and grammar!

Sorry I never noticed your thread before, Mistral.
"寝たきり老人" refers to seniors very advanced in age (90 plus), who are bedridden and can no longer participate in
the activities of daily life.
