Scaling the 1569 review mountain Epilogue - Four Months Later

how annoying, I make the exact same mistake for this one, too

2 Likes

There have been a number of “missing synonym” items that I unfairly miss and fail to burn (to be fair, there have also been items I burnt that I didn’t really remember and just had a lucky guess on). Perhaps the most B.S. of all was 靖 this morning, where I put in “peace” for the meaning, but WK expected “peaceful” instead. (╯°□°)â•Żïž” ┻━┻

Anyway, I missed a total of 42 items today for an accuracy of only 58%. On the bright side, I did finally pass 8000 burns today.

Over 8000! :tada:

These are so insidious. I recently learned èșé€Č(やくしん) as “rapid progress” or “great advancement” so of course I input “rapid advancement” and “great progress” and fail.

Couldn’t focus this morning, so I only did 10 reviews. I missed 4, i.e. 60% accuracy. And one of those six was a leech that I’d missed recently and thus still remembered when it came back up for review.

Amazingly, I only missed 14 items today, for an accuracy of 72%, way higher than usual. Having missed apprentice items come back up for review does boost the numbers a bit, but that’s still way higher than usual. In particular, I burned more items (16) than I missed, something that rarely happens.

I was annoyed though that I failed to burn 矯, because I was so close. I actually did manage to guess/recognize it as the “correct” kanji, but I foolishly put “kei” as the reading on instinct, only suddenly remembering just as I hit submit that it is actually “kyou”. Oh well.

Today went a lot worse. I missed 22 items, i.e. only 56% accuracy, and I only burned 10 items. For some reason, a lot of my guesses seemed to be unlucky when the previous two days they mostly broke in my favor instead. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.

Today, I only missed 16 items, though I also only burned 11 (probably due to the stock of pending Enlightened reviews being mostly depleted now).

Getting a lot more reviews that I previously missed come back up again. I still missed some of them though.

Overall, I missed 34 items, for an accuracy of 66%.

One BS failed burn was èłą, where I put “wisdom” but WK demanded “clever” or “smart” instead. Come on! Holo even describers herself as “kenrou”, the Wise Wolf. I guess I can’t complain too much though, since I did get lucky on a couple of others.

On the other hand, I can definitely complain about ćș¶æ°‘çš„, which, like ćș¶æ°‘ before it, was another one of those “we recently changed the meaning” items where I was unable to guess the new meaning. What BS.

Missed 36 this morning (i.e. 64% accuracy.)

Of particular note is that I got èŠ±ćŁ‡ (flower bed) thanks to coincidentally coming across it in the wild the night before and happening to look it up while reading. There’s no way I would have gotten it otherwise.

Here’s a graph of SRS levels since I started the current challenge last month. It’s nice to see that the burned+enlightened count has gone down a lot less than I expected, barely a hundred.

I reached Lvl60 roughly a month ago an then went on vacation
 That obviously includes WK :grin:

In these few weeks, my review count raised to almost 2000 items so, while I don’t intent to unburn things (my expectation is to keep expanding my kanji knowledge in the wild), I’ll join you happily in the effort to burn everything.

As you said, those remaining items are certainly the hardest, more obscure words and some crazy leeches that don’t stick in the brain for some reason :face_holding_back_tears:

See you around and keep burning :turtle::fire:

Missed 35 today (i.e. 65% accuracy). The number of burn reviews has gone down a lot in the first place, but I nevertheless got another BS failed burn today, on 逝, where I missed it due to putting “pass away” instead of the expected “die”.

I normally do a double-length 100 review session every weekend and holiday, but this morning, I couldn’t focus and decided to stop early at only 34. I missed 14, for an accuracy of only 59%.

I “only” missed 16 today, i.e. 68% accuracy. Helps that a lot of leeches I reviewed before keep coming back up immediately while I still often remember them.
