Some of these kanji/vocab are at master already. When I get this message, what exactly is happening? is the progress completely reset and I ha…

Guru and above, it goes down 2 SRS levels. Apprentice goes down 1 level. If you answer the same item wrong 3 or 4 times in the same session, it doubles the number of levels that it goes down.
