I likely will not be able to take the N2 exam this July due to schedule conflict. It's 4 months away and I believe that's enough time for me to be ready for it. But since I can't take it, then I'll have 5 additional months for studying making it a total of 9 months left.
I want to know, are there any of you who actually, purposely studied N1 material but only aimed to take the N2 exam for that time?
Right now I have about 180 grammar points still to master for N2, but have familiarized myself with half of the N2 grammar points in Bunpro.
As for vocab, it is said to need about 6000 words (number just estimated). I started N2 vocab study since the day after the July 2024 exam and have gone over this lists.
Kanshudo 1-6000, still 531 entries left. There's only 2500 words in this Deck because I didn't add what I already know from before.
Shin Kanzen Master N2 Goi, still 98 entries left
N2 Tango 2500, completed. Just reviewing them when they pop up in Anki.
I also have an Anki deck where I add words I encounter in my immersions. There's around 1000 words there with 340 words still New in anki.
So my main question. Let's say I have gone over all these stuff by around July, and I also continue my immersion with VNs and anime, should I continue with N1 stuff in the period of August to November? Or is it just better to stick with N2 stuff and master it even more?
My main reason for asking this is because I found a good Anki deck with entries from the Tango series and have actually started with the N1 Deck. The thing is, I really love the deck. It has good example sentences and even audio. I even learn additional words from the sample sentences. I wish I'd known about this deck for when I studied the N2 Tango 2500 because my deck is just exports from Yomitan. I do input some notes for the N2 cards but I don't have the time to make them as good as the N1 deck I found.
