Don't skip Recent Mistakes

Had one of those days where during the main review I only hit 85%…and at times was hovering down around 70%. Felt entirely discouraging. Then went back and did a round of my recent mistakes where it was good to see around 95% success.

The lesson I learned here is NEVER skip the recent mistakes. :slight_smile: That extra re-enforcement an hour or two later seems to make a huge difference to long term retention. And if nothing else, boosted my spirits.

Good idea, and the best thing is, it helps you to reduce your future mistakes and decreases your total reviews due to the improvement in accuracy.

100%. And the truth is, it knows what you got wrong, so clearly something you need to work on. You can’t really fudge it.

Yes! I do my recent mistakes most nights, and it has helped me tremendously! Even if I don’t see them again for a couple days, maybe longer, I remember them much better than before I started reviewing them.
