    No, literally no one has ever done ordinary level Japanese. They have to make out the exam, just in case, but nobody has ever done it. There's about a 97% pass-rate for HL.

    It's probably a bit tough if everyone else in your class is total otaku, but it's not too late to catch up. The syllabus is pretty short and there are so many great resources online. See the nihongo forum under soc->languages for some links.

    Heh,Myself and a friend of mine in another school are both doing the pass,It feels great to be the first :rolleyes:.

    Pretty much my teacher told me at the level I'm at now I would fail even ordinary so I really need to srtart working.

    Luckily though she's organising grinds for me:D
