Did you ever do too many lessons at once?

N-no… never :upside_down_face:

The most I’ve done so far is about 51 lessons in a day. I could have done more but I wanted to try and set a pace for myself.

I think “did you ever do too many lessons at once?” is the Wanikani equivalent of “Does a bear s**t in the woods?”

The most i did was around 50 i think… then soon after that i got crashed for weeks (35 days)

That was way too much in one day as evident in the rest of my heatmap.

I’m trying to do the 0/0 Streak Challenge so I’m sure I’m going to end up with too many lessons still left and level up approaching and end up doing a ton at once. Since I reset, I think I’ve done 50-ish at a time but no major issues so far. Just gotta watch that apprentice count…

0/0 doesn’t mean finish everything at once–just to bring it down to 0/0 at least once per level. It’s meant more as a check for you to finish the previous level before starting the next one.

Oh yeah, I get that. It’s just this time I kept unlocking more vocab over the course of the level and haven’t managed to get down to 0/0 even once… Probably will tomorrow.

shout out to june 4th 2019 where i had the brilliant idea of doing 124 lessons… this is a bad idea.
If you’re ok with doing 100-200 reviews per day for the next few days, then doing up to ~50 reviews once every few weeks isn’t too bad, but those 124 lessons burned me out a lot and are probably on the the many reasons for me being so darn slow at this…
Doing between 3 and 21 reviews every day like I’ve been doing for the last two months has been a lot more comfortable at least for me. Even if it means I’m slower at that one point in time, I’m faster in the long run, because i have less multi month gaps because of burnout
(until i do something stupid again, only to have another 3 months of only doing 10-20 reviews a day with no lessons and basically not making any progress…)

I wanted to say no, I did that and it fried my mind so I ended up resetting.

Checked…
dang!


Guess I didn’t learn! (these only show after last reset)
Largest day I found (might have missed some) was 70, but SO many of 60! D=
And here I thought I only did a few a day, I had no idea O_o

i try to be verrrry careful about this, because i get so overwhelmed so easily when i see 90+ reviews waiting for me at once lmao. so i try not to go above 100 apprentice items at a time, and i set a cap for daily lessons for myself at about 30 maximum. unless it’s just REALLY easy stuff, then i don’t mind blasting through it.
it’s probably much slower than other people’s progress, but i try not to think too hard about that.

I reset myself back to level 1 recently. I had learnt everything up to and including level 60 but had let the reviews pile up to the point that I couldn’t get motivated to clear the backlog. Plus when doing some reading I realised I’d gotten rusty on a lot of Kanji.

Anyway, in this case I figured it was fine to do 80 or so lessons all at once since it was easy stuff I already know. It’s been ok so far.

For your first time through, learning new stuff, I wouldn’t recommend it. My approach was to do maybe 10-20 lessons at once (the amount would depend on how easy you find the items you get), then do about the same again after the first review of those items. So you’re basically doing lessons every four hours or so. Then in general I try to keep Apprentice items to around 100-150, which seems to work in terms of keeping the pace manageable.

ive been doing all my lessons at once almost as soon as i get them. I’ve seen that its a bad idea and im sure it is and ill regret it when i get to the higher levels. But so far ive had pretty good accuracy and it hasnt felt like too much yet.

Let me throw my highest lesson count per day in there too. Not topping Kumirei’s 172 or so, but it’s something.

Tbh, on level 6 it’s fairly easy though.

I usually do all lessons at once as well, and if that means I will get too many wrong once they show up, so be it. I’m here to learn after all. But I gotta say, so far it hasn’t really be a problem except for a small amount of annoying ones here and there that just take a bit longer to click than others.

130 is plenty insane!

To find the absolute maximum on WK Heatmap (for lessons or reviews), there’s a hovertip on the average lesson/review count which will tell you which day and how many…

Nope. At most I take 10 lessons in a day. Rest of the time is spent on reviews.

Thanks! Ok, 78 then =D

I thought I did max 30-40 D=

First time around I did 100+ multiple times, all that got available at level up I did in a sitting

No, I only usually only do one lesson a time.
