Best of luck to you!

Best tip I can give is to continue the hard work. It will pay off.

Use the 6 P's

    Persistent
    Practice
    Prevents
    Pitifully
    Poor
    Performance


Keep practicing and refining your technique. Ask your sensei what you need to work on specifcally for your grading and then go and do it.

Good luck!

What do you have to do for your grading?

Heres the sylabus(sorry for the spelling error):

Kata:
-Tekki Shodan

Kihon(basics):
-step in punching
-rising block reverse punch
-outside block, elbow strike, backfist, reverse punch(combo)
-knife hand block, front leg front snap kick, spear hand strike(combo)
-double front kicks(not jumping)
-double roundhouse kicks(not jumping)
-side snap kicks in kiba dachi stance(horse or side stance)
-side thrust kicks in horse stance

Combinations:

-roundhouse kick, side thrust kick, reverse punch(off the same leg)
-sensei might throw in another one(depedning on how we're doing)

One-step Kumite(sparring):

-step in punch other side rising blocks and reverse punch
-step in punch body other side outside blocks and reverse punch
-front kick and blocked by downward block
-side thrust kick(block of any choice), reverse punch
-spinning back kick(block of any choice), reverse punch

thats about it. sometimes the sensei doing the grading changes stuff around a bit. i guess you'd have to be there to understand some of the things if you don't train in karate or shotokan.
