For the past few weeks, I’ve been reviewing my kanji cards everyday. I entered all of the words from n4 and n3 saomatome kanji books. I finished adding N3 a few weeks ago. I plan to take the n3 JLPT in July.
My reviews are at 100 a day. When I add new cards, it’s 20 new a day. So my question is should I start adding N2 or give it more tone reviewing. Also, is 100 review cards enough?

The JLPT is mostly a vocab test in a way, but reading speed and listening are two areas you will want to be good in. When it comes right down to it – how many words do you know now and how many do you think you can effectively learn before the test? If you are doing the JLPT might as well test off its word lists at least.
I suggest before taking any jlpt you take a bunch of practice tests
Also, soumatome isa great resource (only book series i ever used…i used it for grammar all the way to N1) but to ensure you are ready for a particular jlpt level I’d use an app like [migii](https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/jlpt-test-n1-n5-migii/id1463267540) which has a roadmap and can prep you for any jlpt level
Remember 総まとめ means overall summary…meaning they teach you the gist of that jlpt level…but it does not c9ntain all content you could possibly find on the jlpt. Migii helps fill that gap. They even do practice jlpt tests every now and then..using migii I was taught a lot of grammar points not in 総まとめ…just dont trust it for pronunciation….it has a lot of wrong kanji readings, specially when reading passages is concerned
Some people do say they passed n2 with just memorizing soumatome cover to cover…andmaybe rhat does work…just be sure you are trully ready to take n3…
To answer your main question, yes, if your are done adding n3 stuff you could start directly with n2..but I would take the n3 roadmap from migii and add what i dont know from there first
