Last year, I passed the JLPT N5 112/120. Lost points for listening only. Taking the N4 on Dec. 4th. I did not study much since last year as I was slacking. I remember all of N5 material, but feel like I know nothing for N4. What is the shortest path to barely passing N4 in a month. Currently, I am using the PDF’s for vocab and grammar from this Udemy course: [https://www.udemy.com/course/japanese-n4-course/](https://www.udemy.com/course/japanese-n4-course/). I am only on lesson 2/15 and inputting everything in Anki. I feel like I am screwed for this test. Any advice on what material to use to give me the best chance of passing?

Following for myself. My studying has been fruitful but work has kicked my ass since the summer started and feel the need to kick it into gear.
If the goal is to pass the exam, cram in as much vocab as possible
Taking a whole year just to not make it to N4 from N5 is worse than slacking, it’s just taking the piss. Maybe write this one off as a lesson learned and put in the work to pass N4 or N3 next year.
