Re: Wrong Grade?
In Japan, two academic years would be enough for a shodan.
I dunno. I'm still in the kyuu ranks myself, but you know, it's just 2nd kyuu. Certainly there's something of "grade extension" outside Japan, wherein more is expected of kyuu ranks than is expected here. But I don't think kyuu ranks are really something you should be in awe of, or not feel ready for. Save that stuff for the dan ranks.
