For me, the biggest difference was spending more time up front on lessons. When you go through each group of 5 items, don’t go straight to the quiz. Click the ‘I need more time’ button, and just cycle through those five items until you can recite them all without hesitation. That makes a huge difference on accuracy, and your reviews will go faster for the rest of your days on WK.
The second biggest difference for me was always reciting reading-then-meaning during study and reviews, no matter which one the question is asking for. The brain has a powerful instinct for memorizing things that occur (a) together, and (b) in a consistent sequence. In fact, those two factors are it’s most fundamental learning mechanism at the lowest level.
