How big do your review stacks get?

Every so often now, I get review stacks of around 100, which is usually the amount where my brain starts to melt during the review session lol. This question is mostly for those who are in the 20s and above and level fairly quickly (like 7-10 days per level), since I’m leveling at about 7 days per level and want to see what’s waiting ahead for me.

So anyway, I’m curious to know, how big do some of your review stacks get or have gotten in the past? Just asking about the bigger to biggest chunks you’ve gotten, not averages or anything. Thanks!

Edit: More just talking about reviews in one single session rather throughout the day

I’m not the 20’s yet, but I am the kind of person who does all their lessons in one fell swoop, meaning that It’s not unusual for me to have 100+ reviews at one time!

Yeah, after posting this, I did consider how much bigger mine would have been if I did all my lessons at once. こわい!

The biggest I had was during the last stretch of WK, where you can level twice as fast (3d10h per level). I got some stacks of up to 400 items (that was almost all the reviews of the day, though).

400, jeez. I’ll definitely have to mentally prepare myself for those kinds of numbers, haha. That makes sense though.

Obviously you won’t get that bump if you stay at 7-10 days per level. :smiley:
Also, I used the reorder script to make sure I did the time critical reviews on time but then used the wrap up button to do reviews whenever during the day. As long as you reach inbox 0 at the end of the day, you do not have to do everything when it pops up.

I’ll most likely be going at 3.5 days per level in the fast levels, so it’s probably something I’ll have to deal with too. :sweat_smile: Yeah, that’s true. I just have this compulsion of pushing reviews down to zero as soon as I see any. Can’t help it, haha. It’ll be a lot easier to deal with now that I know what’s coming though.

Hmmm, between a demanding three year old, twin infants, and a wife who doesn’t like my hobbies, I recently had my reviews stack up to 450’s. Over the past couple weeks, I got it back down to zero. A lot of them keep coming back because I get things wrong often but I’m getting through them. I just had almost 60 lessons stack up and slowly working through them too. I’ll get to the next level one of these days.

Wow, that’s a lot to deal with along with WaniKani. Makes me glad I’m doing this as a college student. Good luck on getting to the next level and learning more!

Yeah, that’s what happens when “life” starts adding up.

I think the most I’ve done at once was ~250 because I ignored reviews for a day and I had a bunch of stuff returning for burning, had just started a new level, and went through over 100 new lesson items in one go. Most days, my estimated queue would grow by ~100-130 max.

No scripts or anything.

Right now I have a stack of 196 sitting that I’m about to do. On average I do like 160 reviews a day, though lately that number has been around 250 reviews due to quick leveling. The most reviews I did on a single day was 560. I had a little bit of a burnout during the new-year :sweat_smile:

560, whoa. I can definitely see where the burnout came from, haha. :smile:

I’ll leave these here. Just note that this is not because reviews piled up.

Dang, pretty high numbers. I’m assuming you didn’t do all those 600 or 700 in one review session which is more what I was asking about, but if you did though… wow.

My Wednesdays have high numbers because I would level up, do all the lessons, do Apprentice II and III reviews in the same day. As for my highest number of reviews in a single sitting, I think it was about 350 reviews + 100ish lessons in the same sitting.

Oh don’t you worry, that compulsion fades with time.

Wow haha, that’s still impressive to me.

Maybe it will, but I doubt it. We’ll see! If that ends up happening, that’s a sign I probably will quit WaniKani soon after, lol.

I meant it as a joke! Haha don’t give up when the going gets tough!

I get you! I just wondered for a second what would happen if that compulsion did eventually go away, haha. Will try my best not to let it get there though!
