Am I proficient?

I just spent the morning taking the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, Level 2. I went into it with no worries and no expectations. This is for two reasons: 60 percent is passing, and I didn't study. At all. I signed up for this test in September when I thought I would devote my first three months in Japan exclusively to Japanese. Well, the only studying I've done since then is watching TV. But I have to say that I'm confident I aced the listening portion. So at least my passive studying worked. As for the other parts..let's just say I started seeing pictures in the answer sheet dots. I'm hoping for a 65 percent. This will sadly prove my lack of study while still leaving me with some confidence in my Japanese ability.
