So I'm in no place currently to be taking the JLPT N1. But I would eventually like to be able to do so, preferably by late 2026/mid 2027 or whenever I'm actually ready. It may take a long time or a shorter amount of time. We'll see.
Currently, a lot of my study has been input-based with Visual Novels being my main source of reading and YouTube being my main source of listening (I mainly watch comprehensible-input based content).
I don't particularly use Anki or sentence mine, but if I ever feel like I need it, I'll pick it up again. I have also done some research and will be looking to pick up the Shin Kanzen Master books later down the line. I'll also probably read NHK (I read a lot of NHK easy) in preparation for it too, but that's pretty much all I am doing/would be doing to prepare for the N1. It's a long time away and while I am more focused on having fun with my learning, prepping a tiny bit early wouldn't hurt to do either.
Are there any other resources that I should be considering either now or later down the line?
