And I am totally not ready yet.
Grammar and kanji are not up to snuff, though I’ve definitely made progress. I still have a month to go, but Japanese of this level is not something you can cram for in such a short amount of time.
All that’s left is to bank on that 50% pass mark, or to truly believe that courage will turn 50% into 100%.

You’re not alone!
My wrist is starting to hurt from copying so many kanji. I’ve got ice on it right now but I’m still worried about tendinitis, and I’m not finished for the day yet. >_>
お互い頑張ろうぜ！

I’m not so confident about how my exam will go either… for sure I’m gonna fail the kanji part of JLPT1 because I’m not studying enough, orz.
Not sure what you’re using to study grammar, but I found the Kanzen series of grammar books (also the Unicom grammar study guides) to be extremely helpful for that.
