掲示板 Forums - How are reviews tracked?

Hello,

Love using Renshuu.

I would like to know more about how reviews are tracked.

Recently I added a new schedule (N1 vocabulary). It has a lot of terms already due for review, and I'm not sure why.

I finished the N2 schedule of words about six months ago. I've also been adding my own terms to various schedules.

In my new N1 schedule:

3045 words total (sounds good)

471 words already learned (sounds good)

2574 words to learn (sounds good)

188 words to study today (why?)

This morning, I got up to date on all my other schedules. So, if the reviews are tracked by word, I wouldn't expect any reviews.

Alternatively, if the reviews are reset on the new schedule, then I would expect all 471 words (which I previously learned on different schedules) to now be due for review.

Instead it seems to be somewhere in between, with only 188 words now being due for review.

I'm a bit worried that I might end up reviewing a word twice as much as necessary because I have it in two schedules.

Is this likely, and if so how can I mitigate it?

​It makes sense to include words in multiple schedules.

I'm not sure what to do now. There are words like 意向, which I have reviewed 4 times in August. 52% mastery. It's not due for review in the schedule where I added it. But, it is still labeled as due for review in the new schedule. So, which schedule do I believe?

I trust what you say about it not showing the same word word twice in one day. I would just like to know a little more about how this situation arises. I don't mind doing 472 unnecessary reviews. In the grand scheme of things, that's nothing. It seems like you're hinting that this is a one off problem? If so, that's fine, and perhaps I don't need to worry about it anymore.

Thanks for replying.

The old schedules haven't hit their limits. I've been doing all the reviews they raise.

I don't have any experience reading the study goals. I've just had a look at it. For the N1 schedule, it shows 41, 30, 32, 34, 21, 19, 14 as forecast for the next week. I suppose those numbers are the number of reviews which I might be expected to do? Much lower than the 188 today.

@Bog Playmate "There are words like 意向, which I have reviewed 4 times in August. 52% mastery. It's not due for review in the schedule where I added it. But, it is still labeled as due for review in the new schedule." < My guess is you have different vectors selected? It will never quiz you on the same vector across multiple schedules. Reviews are tracked by vector on the terms themselves, fully independent of any schedule.

The next review date is set by the "Mastery level spacing" of the schedule you review the term from. This only matters if you have custom spacing, but it's still nice to know.

This setting also matters: "Vector handling | Allow a term to be studied multiple times in a day (once for each vector ready to study)"

Let's say you have two schedules: Schedule A, where the setting is turned on, and Schedule B, where it isn't.

Suppose you're studying 3 vectors in each schedule, and term X, which is present in both A and B, has all 3 vectors ready for review.

If you study X in Schedule A, you'll cycle through all 3 vectors, reviewing them one by one. You'll also still be able to study any other vectors for X in any other schedule.

If you study X in Schedule B, you'll study only 1 of the 3 vectors, while the other vectors will be "blocked" from being studied on any other schedule (including the 2 remaining vectors in Schedule A) for that day.

Basically, as soon as you study a term in a schedule where the setting isn't turned on, its reviews for all other vectors that are due today will be postponed until tomorrow across all schedules.

( edited for accuracy. Hopefully it's all good now. I did test it to make sure, but it can be a little confusing )

[ I'm just explaining how that setting works. You probably don't have it turned on anywhere, and I'm not recommending it to you ]

I think it tracks your progress and which words you don't really understand and change what you review to let you get stronger at your weak points, it may also give you questions you're already good at to make sure you really understand

​Tested it just now, and you're right. I guess I never noticed since I have that setting on pretty much all of my schedules, and that behaviour makes much less sense to me :D

I'll correct the information in my in my previous post. Thanks!

PS: I'll give you some points :D

Edit: Alright, should be good now. That's the behaviour I observed during testing anyway.
