Knowing how Wanikani works is making everything way more stressful now

At some point I also started to worry too much about my accuracy and if I made mistakes early in the review session, it would just get worse and worse. So here are my suggestions to try to relief that stress:

  • Hide review accuracy: until I tried this script, I didn’t realise how much the accuracy percentage during reviews was bothering me, distracting me, and influencing my review session according to how well/bad I was doing in the beginning. You will still see the percentage at the end of the session, but it’s something less to think about during the actual reviews.
  • Disable the SRS update indicator during reviews in the App settings. That way you won’t see a red arrow when you get something wrong. Instead, I use WK Review SRS to know at which stage the item I’m reviewing is at.
  • I have also hidden the progress bar during reviews because it moved very slowly when I have more than 300 items in my review pile, but this may not be a problem for you now.

Hopefully this tips will help you focus more on your answers and Japanese learning!
