In fact after taking some practice tests before the real thing I was not sure whether I could pass or not because I had underestimated the reading comprehension part of the exam, hence why I got almost 50% in the reading/grammar section score. It doesn't really matter now because a pass is a pass. Now I just need to work on filling in the gaps of my knowledge which includes improving my reading comprehension and listening skills.
These are the two books that I mostly used to study from. The grammar dictionary was very helpful as it listed which grammar points you needed to study for each level of the test.

hi, just wondering where you bought those books and if the dictionary was a special one for the JLPT. thanks!
I bought the one of the books while I was in Japan and I bought the grammar dictionary from the Kinokuniya Japanese bookstore in New York.
The grammar dictionary tells you what each JLPT level requires (although it will be outdated soon as the JLPT will switch to a 5 level system next year).
The Kinokuniya bookstores can be found in various cities on the West Coast and New York in the United States.
