I just did the later lessons a bit too fast I think, I keep forgetting the more longer grammar points like のなかで～がいちばん, なくてはならない, argh 
But dropping those back to srs level 1 with ghosts on helps a ton. Think it’s better doing these over and over again for a week or 2 before moving on.
My biggest mistake was using the undo button too much after I saw the correct answer, thinking ‘ah yes I knew this’. Turns out I didn’t
Just another week or 2 repeating these lessons before starting to move on to N4. I’ll get there

I was in the same situation with N4 where I finished N5 on a fixed schedule to complete it on the same day as I reached my 2nd year Anki anniversary, so I ended up taking about a month off from adding new grammar afterwards. I also took 2 weeks off completely and let my grammar queue build up so the next 2 weeks I was clearing it and building on my N5 knowledge while being careful to not overburden my study load. I was doing heavy immersion for that month so I wasn’t wasting my time. But now I’m down to about 5 reviews a day so it’s time to ramp up again and get to working seriously on N4 grammar.

That can be
That can be helpful but be careful not to overdo it. Those N5 points are going to come back endlessly in your practice anyway so you’re going to get ample exposure regardless.
Also I would recommend setting “ghosts” to “on” in bunpro to generate a ghost after every mistake. This way you get a lot of extra practice on things you struggle with that way.

Thx for that feedback. I kept making the same mistakes for quite a few lessons, I became a bit frustrated with myself. So I set the ghosts to max and now I’m getting those reviews over and over again.
After a couple of days doing this things go way better. After finishing most of the ghosts I’ll move on to N4

So I waited a month or so to get rid of most of my N5 leeches, then started with N4. I did around 5 lessons per day, depending on how difficult they were. That made N4 go by pretty fast, took me around 40 days. Again I’m going to get rid of the leeches first before moving on to N3.
I did find N4 a bit harder than N5, mostly with the questions where the answer was combined with other grammar points. Sometimes I really had to search or ask on the forum to find an explanation for the correct answer, but that also helped me to understand combining grammar better. Still that’s an area where BunPro could improve I think, a better explanation in cases like these.
The good news is that I’m using Satori reader and so far most grammar I encountered was N5 and N4 so it does feel like I’ve done most of the basic grammar now. I increased my reading time per day a lot, feels like that is the best way to get really familiar with the grammar.
