Oh, I should add: a main reason for the vocabulary push is that I really want to finish my kanji book not only before the exam, but sooner rather than later. I still have a ways to go for that.
Update: I should also mention that right now I've finished the first 10 sections of the book. But this isn't a complete picture of my progress through it. Because the book comes with a pamphlet and says "before reading each chapter we recommend going through this pamphlet and familiarizing yourself with the following kanji and words. And since I like anki, I often just go through the pamphlet, ignore which words are part of which chapters, and just add the words that look easy to me.
