Use Quartet to get yourself most of the way there, then Somatome to review and find your holes.
The JLPT N3 has about 3,750 vocabulary items. Assuming you’re coming from Genki (1,700 items), Quartet 1 teaches 700 new words. You’d need to learn about 1,350 more words.
Genki has 317 kanji, plus the new 327 kanji in Quartet, so you’d need to learn only about 6 more for the JLPT.
Not sure how to count the grammar, although Quartet does explicitly teach certain grammar points, but includes them (e.g.: 〜だけではなくて、〜もです or V-ます直す).
Using Quartet in combination with the Dictionaries of Basic and Intermediate Japanese Grammar might prove useful.

[I wrote a review sometime ago.](https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/oqjjzs/quartet_textbook_series_review/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) I conclude that Q1&2 isn’t quite enough to get you to N2, but it helps. Somatome is more of a review, IMO, but it can be used to guide further study.
