All, I recently took a long break from WK - about 3 months. I came back to over 700 reviews, and I’m struggling to get through them. Having a hard time remembering everything. Does anyone have any tips on how to climb this mountain? I’m sure it’s happened before, and I saw some of the other thre…

Based on my experience from a ~7 month hiatus w/ no vacation mode (came back to 1500+ reviews and 150-200 lessons), my recommendation would be to go through the reviews at a comfortable pace and let the SRS do it’s thing – if you remember it, great!, if you don’t, it’ll get bumped down a level and y…
