What sort of advice would you guys have in preparing for the Japanese exam? I know there's practice exams..and listening tasks. But is there anything else ?
I don't know where to start, and I've only kind of done one Japanese exam atm, lol

I'd recommend learning as much vocab as you can, if you have Wakatta textbook, try learn as many of the vocab as you can!
Knowing vocab will help you finish the exam faster, which allows you more time for rechecking, your essay, and doing the exam itself

Agree 100%
You know the grammar, now you need as much vocab as you can. Vocab is crucial for listening part of the exam and helps with the other parts.

for the listening section - 1st time you listen, write down EVERYTHING you hear, that way you can cover keywords and points without having to "wait" for the answer then write some details down and not have enough time to copy down the rest of what has been said

2nd time you listen, try to listen for the answer/confirm your answer if you think you got it right on the 1st listening or fill in the holes of what you may have missed
