I took the N2 and probably failed. I took it last July and almost passed, so I was surprised when it seemed much harder this time.
I think my methods are fine, I just need to work on my time management. This past study period I kind of coasted without much improvement. I need to create more time for intensive studying, which means I will probably have to distance myself from other commitments so I can focus on Japanese more.
I also want to start taking night classes at a local Japanese school to help with my speaking (a non-JLPT skill) but that means I'll have to rework my budget as well as my schedule.
