Japanese classes, in my experience, do not teach to the test. I would suggest studying Japanese for a few years, then decide where you feel you are.
To tell the truth, my first goal is to be able to read or watch any media in Japanese without relying much on dictionaries, so I will do only self-studying for a couple of years like you suggest. This is also the method I had used for studying English, and I think it applies well to me.
