Something to remember in the last week of study

It's less than a week before the test and I need to start thinking about focusing my studies. Where am I weak? Which parts are fuzzy? Which parts can be left so I have more time to study the essential stuff? In short, and to use a nasty bit of management speak, how do I maximise my test score on a limited time-scale?

A book called "Pass JLPT in 30-hours" would be tempting but I think we all know (well, those that tried "Learn in 30-hours" would know) it wouldn't work. Instead, why not try this nugget that I found on renshuu.org's forum. The post refers to Level 2 JLPT but the advice is pretty much the same; there are 300 kanji you need to know, 1000 or so vocab entries but only 120 or so grammar points. The grammar (and reading) section contribute 200 points to the overall 400 points. "Thinking from a purely test-taking perspective, it's very proficient use of time in your studies" to quote the post.

Definately something to remember in those times when you start to panic in the face of the overwhelming amount of stuff you don't know.
