Method to prepare for the JLPT for any level in 4-3 months before the test

This is a method that a professor at the Osaka University taught me to take the JLPT exam for any lecel, which I passed.
First of all, the most important thing is not to learn as much as you can but to remember what you learned.
It’s s highly recommended to use books on: kanji, listening, reading, vocabulary. I recommend using books from the same series like all the books of Shin kanzen master of the level you want to study.
The last month before the JLPT, do NOT study new topics, dedicate yourself to taking practice exams and REVIEWING what you studied in the previous months.
From the beginning, set deadlines for the chapters of each book that you are going to study for each month.
Example:
-First month

Kanjis: 4 chapters

Grammar: 5 chapters

Vocab: 3 chapters

Listening: 1 chapters

Reading: 1 chapters

Now pay attention to the study method
Study kanji: study K
Study vocabulary: study V
Study grammar: study G
Study reading and read news papers: Study R
Study Listening: Study L

Any questions I will be glad to answer ☺️

  1. thanks for sharing this, just wanted to know what’s your current JLPT level and how much has this schedule helped you to reach that level?

  2. This seems like a well thought out and well-paced study method! Too bad the class I’m taking is designed to last from early January to late June so there are still new topics to be covered as of now. I would love to try this method next time when I self-study for N2. Thanks for sharing!

  3. Just looks like a manual way of Spaced Repetition w/ a text book.

    Probably works but isn’t as fun as Immersion + Anki + Italki sessions.

    Studying is important tho- just balance it with actual listening, reading, and speaking practice.
