What does Minna no Nihongo I cover that Genki I doesn't?

I often read that it's best to have both books in order to cover all areas that will appear in the N5 exam. I have Genki I, however, if it's for the sake of 1 or 2 grammar points, could someone please point them out to me so I can look them up online?

Aswell as Genki I, I'm using the White Rabbit Press Kanji Flashcards to study for the exam. Will these 2 be enough?

I'll also look around for past papers and audio CDs.

In the N5 test, how many times is the dialogue said in the listening section? I'm hoping it's twice, because I tend to miss a lot from the sample questions on first listen Sad

Listening it's only once

Although the conversation is only read once, the actual question is read twice.
Pay good attention the first time the question is read, as it provides a good clue as to what you should be listening for.

when you are listening the audio clip,listen the clip so many times that you would be able to speak the words with it
