Been using Anki since July last year to prepare for N2, and since 2 months ago have resubscribed to Bunpro for grammar. But I actually have a year premium of Migii JLPT app which has been with me since November last year. I used it to get words to add to Anki by looking at the Kanji and Orthography tests, but I stopped. I thought I should just continue with my anki decks and keep on adding vocab.
It kinda worked, but I should have shifted time with the practice questions. I thought I should learn the words first before tackling the word formation, paraphrases, context and usage questions but maybe I was wrong. Maybe I should have taken these practice questions sooner and learned from them and gotten the words to put in Anki from them. Because I didn't try them, I didn't know the the explanations were actually quite good. It actually has the definitions not only for the correct answer, but for the other words as well. And the wrong choices also had explanations as to why they are wrong or not the best choice in the given context. Trying out the questions made me realize how dumb I still am to higher level usage and how it's hard for me to differentiate words with similar meanings.
P/S: So actually the reason why I'm using the Migii app now is because it's in my timeline to start with the vocab tests yesterday. If only I scheduled it sooner.
I also tried the July 2024 JLPT Vocab and Reading test (a website has them compiled) and got 24/30 in the Goi, 12/21 in the Grammar and 11/20 in the Reading in raw scores. Big yikes in Grammar and Reading and could do better in Goi. Taking the test as mock yesterday motivated me to spend more time with the app. 78 days to go.
