# Study Plan (14 Weeks)
N2 demands cross-context understanding: academic, professional, and formal social. Build your strategy step by step:
Grammar & Argumentative Reading
Focus on N2 Grammar that dominates editorial openings, expert opinion, and official system or machine instructions.
Unite Work-Domain Kanji & Vocabulary
Combine memorizing N2 Kanji with N2 Vocabulary organically so they do not fragment during workplace reading simulations.
Long-Text Reading Modules
Aim to read long discourse quickly without needing 100% of the vocabulary; put extra focus on cause-and-effect conjunction paragraphs.
Aggressive Listening (Full Natural Speed)
Prioritize fast note-taking to catch urgency, cross-cutting conclusions, and implicit agreement in group dialogue.
Integrated Mock Tests & Focus Stamina
Passing N2 hinges on mental focus reserves. Run a full 105-minute non-stop mock to train against late-section grammar fatigue.
