JLPT N4 textbooks and listening practise advice needed

What textbooks and what chapters of them would people recommend for the JLPT N4 exam?

I am now at lesson 14 of Genki (so the second chapter of Genki II) and also have completed Japanese for Busy People I. I also use Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar (I also have the other two volumesh.

I use the website JLPT Sensei for some guidance.

Last: can anyone give me some advice for listening practice? That was the biggest bottleneck for JLPT N5 even though I had listened and practised a lot!

Genki 2 is N4, completing it will teach you enough grammar to pass the grammar portion. If you want to review specifically for the JLPT, theres Try!, Nihongo Sou-Matome, and Shin Kanzen Master. For listening, Comprehensible Japanese and Nihongo-learning on YouTube were indespensible when I started listening practice.
