What would you do if you wanted to get from N4 to around N2 in 6 months?

Like I know it will be really hard but I think I might be able to do it, so looking on advice on how to schedule the few months. Any advice is appreciated thanks.

Why mine words instead of using a frequency deck?

So I finished the 開始 1.5k a few days ago and started to focus a little bit more on consuming content that just studying, I also now started to mine my own sentences but I have been thinking what is the point of doing that at such a beginner level like mine, let’s say I mine the word 死亡 from the GTA fail mission text 「マイケルが死亡した」 that a frequency dictionary puts it at around 2.9k wouldn’t it have been much better to spent that time learning a word more frequent and then eventually getting to 死亡.
Even though my Japanese is bad when I watch a yt video I feel that I actually can understand a pretty decent chunk of it due to the words I know being very common, therefore the advice that I see all the time of just mine your own words after finishing the deck doesn’t make much sense to me, it would if this was at around 10k~15k where vocabulary starts to become more genre specific. But I feel that I would benefit more from just doing the core 10k.

Thx

Struggling with the lack of kanji on N4

I know it probably stems from a lack of confidence in the vocabulary but I really struggle to read the parts that have no kanji especially verbs (either conjugated or not), this has made pretty slow on reading or understanding some parts and I am little worried about it in the actual exam. Is there any tips or suggestions to improve this.
Thank you
