  If this Achievement is left over at the end of the game, you'd probably be better if you rolled over your character into a new playthrough. You keep your level, but lose some equipment. Completing the game gives you a +25% bonus XP on all future experience.The story missions also give much more XP than wrapping up side missions. The first two missions go very quickly, earning you a nice 2500 XP in under an hour. You'll also gain a new power, which can help with some other achievements.
  
  Edit: It's been mentioned to me that, with the plentiful, good DLC, this solution is less important. I'll be leaving it, but the DLC missions provide enough XP to easily reach 30.

  I also hit level 30 on the second playthrough. Maybe they fixed the issue?

  I imported a lvl 35 from ME1 does this mean I have to go to lvl 65 for the achievement to tick? Or should I start a new character?

  **TIP**
  
  You will earn a new level once you complete each mission; you will also gain 40 xp for completing various conversations, alignment actions and hacking. You don’t earn experience for killing enemies so just make sure you complete as many free-roam missions as possible. You shouldn’t have any issues with leveling up unless you try to rush through the main story. It is possible to attain this in one playthrough if you do all the side missions. Avoid talking to the Illusive Man as much as possible until you level up; he will normally give you a mission to do which you have no choice in doing. The mission will start and there only way to end your mission will be to complete it. It takes 1000 experience to level up. Here are the values for each kind of mission: EXP Values: Story Mission: 1000 EXP Loyalty Mission: 750 EXP Anomaly Mission: 125 EXP Miscellaneous Side-mission: 40 EXP Note : Once you have completed Mass Effect 2 , you will earn a 25 % experience bonus on all subsequent characters, making this easier to attain.

  Also, you receive that bonus after you complete the main storyline and finish up all of the side missions afterward if you survive. Therefore, the N7 side missions net you 156 EXP everytime, making the achievement a little easier in one playthrough.
