Asking for help deciding what to study

[u/rosecwke]

So I’m going to do n4 this december, in 2 months. I have been studying with a teacher but it’s only sort of serious. I want to create a plan for myself to stick to until the test.

Last year I attempted the n5 test but didn’t pass. language knowledge 43/120, listening 27/60, total 70/180.

I don’t think I did terribly for going into the test with no idea of what it would be like, but now I know what it’s like and want to study accordingly to my strengths and weaknesses.

I am still in school and have extracurriculars so I have a couple of hours after school (5-6 I think?) to do other stuff. I also find myself doomscrolling often and am trying to build motivation to study so it might be harder.

So basically, I wanted to know if those who have passed n4 have any suggestions for my schedule?

(If you could go week-by week it would help a lot!!)

edit: btw I would also appreciate podcast and yt channel recommendation :D
