Then you don't take it.

Do you usually take one if you can pay for the test?

 

[nice gaijin]

I can afford it and I've never taken it. Unless you have a job prospect that requires it I don't really see the point, except to give yourself a goal to work towards (or a sense of how advanced you are in your studies).

There are free practice tests out there, maybe start with those?

I took level #2 a long, long time ago (barely failed). Then I didn't bother again.

Level 2 is N2? Did you fail or not?

Yes. I failed. But almost passed. I think I took the Japanese Business test a few years later. That one is more practical.
