JLPT N2 study plan

Build a 300-item N2 vocabulary deck tagged by part of speech, adding 50 new items on 6 days and reviewing all due cards daily

Write out 60 N2 kanji compounds by hand, then read two example sentences aloud for each

Enter 20 N2 grammar patterns into a notebook with meaning, formation rule, and two self-written example sentences per pattern

Read 6 short passages (300–500 characters) on a timer at a maximum of 4 minutes each and log each time

Add 60 more grammar patterns, bringing the running total to 80, and mark the 15 you confuse most with a one-line contrast note

Produce 40 original sentences using week 1–2 patterns and correct each against a reference grammar dictionary, logging every error

Complete 8 medium passages (600–800 characters) at 6 minutes or less each, underlining the sentence that answers each question

Run two 15-minute listening drills on ポイント理解 to keep listening active without pulling time from grammar

Review all 600 accumulated vocabulary items and retire every card answered correctly three times in a row

Complete 10 timed reading sets covering 短文・中文 content comprehension and 統合理解 (cross-referencing two texts) at 6.5 minutes per set

Condense the 80 grammar patterns into 5 summary sheets organized by function (concession, reason, condition, comparison, modality)

Run three 15-minute listening blocks focused on catching question keywords in 課題理解

Sit one full N2 mock under exam conditions: Language Knowledge・Reading in 105 minutes, then Listening in 50 minutes with no replay

Classify every incorrect answer into vocabulary, kanji, grammar, reading, or listening, and rank your three weakest categories by error count

Convert the error ranking into a written 4-week repair list naming the specific pattern, word class, or passage type to re-drill

Drill 30 即時応答 (quick-response) items, writing out why each wrong option fails

Re-drill the top two weakness categories from the week-4 report until each reaches 80% accuracy in a fresh 30-question set

Add 200 new vocabulary items drawn only from words missed in the mock and its reading passages

Complete 6 long passages (900–1,200 characters) at 9 minutes or less, writing a one-sentence summary of each before answering

Increase listening to three 20-minute sessions covering 概要理解 and 統合理解

Run five 25-minute listening sessions, one per N2 listening task type, and transcribe the key sentence of 10 missed items

Shadow (repeat aloud in real time) two 3-minute audio segments daily to build speed of processing

Complete 8 mixed reading sets under a strict 1 minute per question cap

Review all 5 grammar summary sheets and self-test 60 patterns from memory in 20 minutes

Sit a second full timed mock and compare each section against the week-4 baseline

Cut the total time on the reading section by 8 minutes relative to week 4 while holding accuracy

Review the full vocabulary deck and permanently suspend all mastered cards, then isolate the remaining 150–200 stubborn items

Do 40 listening questions in shuffled order to practice switching task types without warm-up

Sit a third full timed mock in the first three days, then stop introducing new material

Re-read the grammar summary sheets and the week-4/week-7 error logs twice, out loud

Do two 20-minute light listening passes and one 30-minute reading pass at exam pace to hold rhythm

Write a one-page exam-day routine covering section order, time checkpoints, and what to skip when behind
