@jessicahull96 Congratulations on your silver medal. So close! We met you at Noosa Boathouse in March where you were having lunch before playing golf. You were too modest to tell us what a great athlete you are. We've followed you since and hope you win the mile! John and Sue

@soasjlpt Yesterday's JLPT exam organisation was a complete disgrace. Loud announcements and music played throughout the entire exam time. It was SO distracting and negatively impacted a lot of participants, myself included. We paid £100 for that and you should consider giving a refund

@MiniMico @soasjlpt @SOAS I am so angry. It was impossible to focus during the exam and SO distracting. I went to the organisers to complain afterwards and they just said there's nothing they could do. When she said "well this is London" I nearly lost it completely. Happy to take our money though!

@maiku_akahane @soasjlpt Yes! unbelievable racket throughout the whole exam. Completely unacceptable
