i didn't need LPI back then, but i just did it just to have it.
i had no idea what LPI is on... and it's only English test... so how can you study for English? so me and my friend didn't study.
the moment we walked into Douglas College NW campus, our hearts skipped a beat & we freaked out. all the people inside the room had books 5 inches thick with font 60 title that reads "LPI"
we did the test
once & for all...we passed! that's how i got my level 5
but i know other friends back then took it 8+ times. so don't feel too bad about it. even my mom's friend's son.... who had straight A's... had to take it like 4 times. so i guess it really depends on the person geh~ as long as your grammar is ok, you should be able to pass ga bor. maybe improve your grammar?
