Edit: This thread was originally posted in the Reality section (titled Show your Apprentice and Guru) because I was curious how many apprentice and guru people are getting there and because I was getting very overwhelmed, but I made it into a study log to burn everything. You’re welcome to share your numbers, but I thought it’d be a nice public thread for people to see how it’s like in Reality and post level 60.
I have always made it a point when vocab becomes too backlogged and when reviews per day become too great to put the breaks on and take time to slowly do the backlogs before adding more to my q’s.
I have always kept my number of apprentise under 100, although recently I have allowed it to at times go up to 150.
I got back to doing Wanikani after a 9 months break (vacation mode) to burn everything, I have an apprentice mountain now Luckily it’s holidays so I have time.
I’m definitely feeling much better at 100 Apprentice items compared to when I used to speedrun to level 60 in the past, so I’m just feeling like this is the right pace for me now.
Reached sub 100 apprentice for a bit, but then some master stuff appeared and dropped down. Guru dropping below a week ago is a good sign I feel, and my reviews are still between 200-250 daily so it’s still okay. Leeches will progress at some point also…
Antother day, more progress. Apprentice has been jumping up and down a lot, but the Guru is dropping a lot so that’s pretty good. I’m now doing Wanikani once a day. Beside that I’m doing the 2k/6k Anki now and I realised I’m missing a lot of common vocabulary, but I’m also reviewing some sentences mined from reading as well, so it’s nice that I can spend less time on Wanikani and more on other areas while still making progress.
A bit of a rough week, a lot dropped to apprentice. The Anki load has been getting higher as well, but on the plus side I’m almost done with Jalup / Nihongo Lessons, so that should slowly lessen the load with time. I feel I’m doing a lot of cards but also I feel I need to do so much, a bit of a weird dilemma. It’ll get easier at some point, for now gotta continue SRSing.
