So, I have been studying for the N3 since February, I have taken a couple old JLPT test from past years and usually get 120-130 points with grammar being my weakest area by far.
My Routine right now is:
Vocab and Kanji flash cards 7 days a week
New Grammar lesson twice a week
2 chapters of Satori reader 7 days a week
In-person class with tutor 2-3 times a week
Grammar Review through Youtube videos (Game Gengo) 3-5 times a week
25 minutes of anime with Japanese audio and Japanese subs or JLPT Vocab/grammar review in Japanese 7 days a week
20 minutes of podcasts 5-7 times a week
If I pass the n3 next month like i think I will, I want to try and take the N2 in December. My work contract ends at the beginning of August, so I'm prepared to put 2-3 hours a day towards studying starting the third week of July and 3-5 hours a day once my work contract ends in August.
Do you guys have any suggestions for how to best prepare for the N2 given my situation. I have seen a lot of people mention the Shin Kanzen book series, I plan to grab the grammar/reading volumes for N2 once I have taken the N3. Basically, ill take a week to decompress then start studying again.
