So I'm booked in for the first stage of JLPT this summer, for vocabulary I started going through the Kaishi 1.5K deck in January and intended to finish the whole thing at least a month before the exam. But, due to lots of unforeseen circumstances surrounding daily life, I've fallen really behind and am only 600 words in. To catch up to the pace I intended atp I'd probably have to do speed up to around 150 words a week, but I preferably really need to focus on balancing immersion and grammar as well.
I've read elsewhere that the deck can confidently carry you up to N4 so presumably I didn't ACTUALLY need to aim to finish the whole deck in the first place, but seeing as it's arranged by frequency order I was wondering, what point through the 1.5K do people here think is generally think is enough to confidently pass N5?
p.s. for additional context I'm level 21 on WaniKani (taking a break from new items to focus on my JLPT study routine) and have been able to blaze through portions of the deck due to being familiar with the vocab or kanji, and since I have access to the Wk dictionary I've been borrowing mnemonics from further levels for Kaishi kanji I haven't encountered yet.
