Koreans: have any of you used 한권으로 끝내기 textbooks EXCLUSIVELY to pass the JLPTs?

안녕하세요,

2024년도에 의대 입학 원서를 준비하면서 JLPT시험을 볼 예정입니다. 12월에 N5시험을 보고싶은데 ‘한권으로 끝내기’로 복습하신 분이 있으신지 궁굼해서 여쭤봅니다.

Korean is no longer my primary language as I’ve used English for the last twenty years, but I don’t think it’s too terrible. I don’t know the grammatical *rules* of Korean (but that also applies for English). I chose 한권으로 끝내기 after using Genki in university because I figured it’d make more sense to learn via Korean than via English, which has a totally different grammatical structure.

Someone a long time ago recommended these books (and I find Korean textbooks to be very to-the-point and mark-oriented) and I believe she said I could pass the JLPTs with just these textbooks. Just wondering if there are any Koreans here who concur, and if there were any extra tips. If not, what other textbooks/resources did you use?

For anyone reading this thinking ‘what’s the point of JUST passing the JLPTs without taking the time to actually learn the language,’ it’s because I do genuinely want to learn Japanese but I need a certificate (of any level) that I can shove into my resume before next year. I don’t like it either, but it’s how the world spins sometimes.
