As a result of my poor planning and overly optimistic outlook on my time management skills, I find myself 3 weeks out from the JLPT with a, shall we say… “deficient” study plan. When I registered back in August, I thought it would be no problem to study the language on top of the full course load I’m taking. In my defense, one of those IS a Japanese class… but it’s a culture class and there is way less focus on language than I expected. I’m still confident that N4 is the correct level for me, but I’m feeling a little rusty and getting anxious about the timeline. What are some resources you recommend for a quick crash course/refresher?
Tl;dr: Overestimated myself and now I need some N4 study resources for the next 3 weeks.

Game Gengo has a video of [all the N4 grammar points](https://youtu.be/M0yEOIEuaDg) you’ll need. You can watch through, note down any that aren’t familiar, and look those up individually.
Good luck on the test!
I’m also doing the N4 in December and here’s what I’ve been finding useful.
This site has *plenty* of material formatted like the JLPT – [https://japanesetest4you.com/](https://japanesetest4you.com/) (all JLPT levels)
This game is fun but has quite a few extra kanji – [https://kanjigame.com/](https://kanjigame.com/) (all JLPT levels)
I’d also recommend just doing good old practice exams – [https://www.jlpt.jp/e/samples/sampleindex.html#anchor02](https://www.jlpt.jp/e/samples/sampleindex.html#anchor02)
Hopefully this helps, and good luck with your study!
