> [@prashantng](#): > > Please let me know so that even i can start doing that way. In order to level up, you need to guru _at least_ 90 % of the level’s kanji. Usually, you need to guru the radicals first in order to unlock enough kanji to level up. Given the following SRS interval charts: |SRS Level|Next Level|Total Wait|Review| —|—|—|—|—|— |Apprentice 1|4h|-|Lesson| |Apprentice 2|8h|4h|1| |Apprentice 3|~1d|12h|2| |Apprentice 4|~2d|1d 11h|3| |Guru 1|~1w|3d 10h|4| |Guru 2|~2w|1w 3d 9h|5| |Master|~1M|3w 3d 8h|6| |Enlightened|~4M|7w 5d 7h|7| |Burned|-|24w 6d 6h|8| You need **3 days and 10 hours** to guru the radicals + **3 days and 10 hours** to guru the kanji, leading to a ideal level-up time of **6 days and 20 hours**. However, for some levels (the ones @Arban completed under 5 days), you already unlock more than 90 % of the kanji right away, so the ideal level-up time drops to **3 days and 10 hours** , but only for these levels. ---

I can say that I took N2 right after hitting 60 and passed. Granted I took longer to reach 60 (a year and a half), but I had no background before that. And my vocab score was like 50/60, by far the strongest part. Jah bless wanikani. ---

But you did do grammar and reading and so beside WK right? How much of that (and what), if I may ask? ---

WOW ! That’s incredible ! well done. Did you study the kanji in between reviews, or do you just have an awesome memory? Seriously impressive achievement. 😁 ---

Congratulations! The fast levels are no joke. Also impressed that you managed a decent level of grammar at the same time (you might think it wasn’t enough but N3 is way more than I managed). Good luck keeping on. 👍 ---

All 60 levels in just a year - I don’t know if that is amazing or disgusting. A bit of both I think. Most impressive. ---

I’ve been living in Japan for two years so it’s kind of cheating haha. But if you push through a little more of WK I’m sure you’ll be at N2 in no time 🙂 ---

Yeah, I live in Japan so I’ve gotten a fair bit of listening and reading exposure through everyday life. Grammar’s hardest for me but I really like the kanzen master books. (And love tae kim for the earlier stuff). Once I finished WK I also started reading harry potter on kindle which has been pretty enjoyable; the built in Japanese-\>English dictionary makes it very doable. ---
