I just passed the 200,000 total reviews milestone. That is…a lot.
Sometimes I feel bad about my studying but 200,000 total reviews shows I haven’t been slacking at least. Around 2.5 years averaging over 200 reviews a day. I may not be good at this but at least I’m consistent.
Hmmm, something isn’t right. My average is 210 reviews per day (per WKSTATS), BUT I generally do less than a hundred per day. When I do exceed 100, it’s generally about 110 to 120, with an exception several months ago when I was doing about 150 to 160 per day for about 4 to 6 weeks.
Seems like it’s counting my reviews twice because an average of about 105 per day would seem a lot more reasonable to me…??? Still high but at least in the right ballpark.
That was my first thought but after thinking about it, it doesn’t pan out.
In SSQ, if I have 7 reviews to be done, then my actual number of reviews becomes 14 (excluding any radical/kana reviews) because SSQ tests for both pronunciation and meaning.
But in our normal dashboard reviews, those same 7 reviews are indeed ONLY 7 reviews because those dashboard reviews only review the pronunciation or the meaning and the reversed reviews (meaning or pronunciation) occurs at a separate time with its specified number of reviews. So, if I did 100 reviews in a day (some of which may only include the pronunciation, or only the meaning). And, in some cases it may include both in which case it would be counted as 2 of the 100 and NOT 4 out of 102.
Hence, WKSTATS’ total for that day should be 100 and NOT 200! But what heck, 100,000 or 200,000, eh…what’s 100,000 in the end result of our learning journey! Let’s face it, until today I NEVER looked at that total and chances are pretty good I’ll never look at it again.
We’re ALL free to count in our own way, for our own benefit.
JPDB doesn’t track this stat, sadly. But I just passed the 1000-day streak milestone, and I average 150-180 reviews a day, so even if I wasn’t doing that many a day at the start before the workload ramped up that must be comfortably over the 100,000 mark, probably more like 150,000.
I’m in the same boat. 2.5 years of Wanikani so far. Around 250,000 reviews total so about 277 reviews a day. Kinda crazy to think about my learning progress in these terms. It feels good to know I’ve at least been consistent if nothing else haha. Keep it up! 頑張ってね〜!
Great to have company in the 200+ club lol. I’m currently 292,000 and still counting , though it’s slowed down quite a bit. I’m mainly just visiting to burn my remaining vocab and review previously burned ones.
