Hi everyone! I started WaniKani in late 2014 and got to level 19. During a trip to Toukyou the following summer to take a language course, my kanji experience proved amazingly helpful! I was a level I student, but better at reading than most level III students in the language course, and was able t…

I was in a similar position as you about a month ago, after coming back from a 7 month-ish hiatus, I had about 1500+ reviews and 180 lessons or something like that :see_no_evil: I just did as many reviews as I could every day and didn’t touch my lessons until I finished all the reviews. It took me …

I’m going through that process again right now, signed up as a beta tester in 2014 and didn’t renew until last month. If you’ve forgotten stuff, think you’ve forgotten stuff, or are worried about your SRS being completely out of whack, consider resetting your level. You could power through reviews, …

Not quite as severe a case as yours, but I just let my reviews pile up for about two months and ended up with 1300-ish items. I tried diving in and doing 250 a day or so, but quickly found that I wasn’t retaining anything, since even 4-hour apprentice items would have days between consecutive review…

There are a couple big threads floating around concerning this type of problem. I don’t remember the exact titles but they are probably easily searchable and had a lot of tips you might find useful.

This is one of my favorite for how someone handled a large review queue. [image] Defeating ~1300 reviews and 600+ lessons Tips & Tricks So, a while back I had a large back log (see title) and I wasn’t too enthused at getting back into a good routine, however since I knew …

Thank you all so much for the advice/suggestions! Yes, I tried searching for similar threads first but maybe didn’t look long enough (and couldn’t narrow my search wording well enough; for one search, most of the results that came back were different threads of people impatient about the ‘slow start…

I had to deal with 4200+ reviews when I took a break for a year without setting vacation mode on when I was level 40-ish. As you can see, it was pretty bad: [image] I just did as many as I could per day until they were all cleared, I feel like what motivated me was sheer anger. I’d see the review…

Just do the reviews. I frequently have to catch up on large amounts. Yes, it will suck (a lot) but it feels great when you actually get there, and you actually learn a lot from failing them. I recommend using KaniWani to revise the vocabulary for the previous levels (start at the bottom, and then wo…

I’d suggest installing a reordering script. I had a huge amount to get through recently (I still have an 800 backlog), but letting WK serve you random reviews from such a huge stack doesn’t work, and it is far from efficient. The script will allow you start from the most recent/oldest, rad/kanji/vo…

After posting I actually took some time to read the thread. I see you’ve seen this recommended elsewhere. Totally agree with whomever you read the post from. I didn’t search for answers, probably should’ve done and saved a week or two of anger towards myself and the review system itself. This method…
