Following on from my update two weeks ago, I've paused my work with 新完全マスター N2 読解. Instead I've started to work through all the N2 mock 聴解 tests I have. In addition I have a set of not terribly brilliant quality that are (possibly) from the old 2級 tests in the 1990s and early 2000s. So I'm going to work through those in detail backwards (i.e. 2009 going back in time) while listening to some of the early ones during my commute (say 1990-1999 or so). Hopefully that will give me a fair few tests to work through while also giving me plenty of listening practice to the sorts of questions that might come up.
I'm also going to make an effort to work through the same mock tests and possible-actual tests, looking at the 読解 papers. They changed more significantly than the 聴解 ones when the new style tests started in ~2010, so the older papers might be less useful there. However, it will all be good reading practice, even if the style of question has changed a little.
Apart from that, my usual activities are continuing. RTK and Anki are up to date. I've started a new series, スーパーサラリーマン左江内氏, which is a little silly, and I've made a very brief start on intensive listening with 嘘の戦争. I'll probably continue スーパーサラリーマン左江内氏 when I need a break from 聴解, but I suspect that 嘘の戦争 will be on the back burner until after the first Sunday in December.
