To help you prepare your "paper" or study plan, keep these target metrics in mind: Requirement ~370 to 660 characters Grammar ~150 essential grammar points Study Time 700–1,300+ total hours (or a focused 90-day plan)

Don't study exclusively on screen. Buy a pack of printer paper. Print the pages. Handwriting kanji engages muscle memory that screens cannot replicate. Use the PDF on your tablet only for the answer keys and review quizzes.
