I studied minna no nihongo lessons 1-12 and found jlpt n5 pretty easy. I would like to give n4 in December, so would the second book, that is, lessons 13-25 be enough for n4 level? Or do I need book 2-1 as well?
Which MNN are you using? As far as I know, the one with 12 lessons per book is the chuukyuu. The shokyuu has 25 lessons in each book. I did N5 after MNN1 shokyuu (lessons 1-25), and N4 after MNN2 shokyuu (lessons 26-50) and it was all good. I would recommend checking a quick summary of N4 grammar online because there are a few N4 grammar points not included in MNN2 shokyuu
book 1 = n5, book 2 = n4.
book 3 and 4 should be n3 and lower n2 range, but i never did them so take that with a grain of salt.
Also isnt mnh 1 and 2, each 25chapters long? atleast my copies here are 25 chapters long

Chapter 1-25 for N5, Chapter 1-50 for N4.
Good luck.
