That’s the wrong way to look at it, and not just because of the resets.
In the last 2.5 months, I burned 889 items, and that’s not counting the many non-burned items that have risen up the ranks.
In case you’re curious, the actual number of reviews I did over the last 2.5 months was 8576, of which I got 5245 right (61.1% accuracy).
Incidentally, the numbers for just the last month are 68.296% (1635/2394). It looks like I’ve been doing fewer reviews on average lately but getting a lot more right, which makes sense.
What do I know, you’re much further along than I am. But it’s kind of frustrating to watch. 100 reviews tops a day is kind of half assing it imo, especially when you got that mountain to climb. I wish you the best either way and hope you know what you’re doing.
I’m sure you will get thru this eventually, but I am wondering if the time to get to 0 reviews remaining might be greater than the time it would take to go back up to lvl 47. if you reset to lvl 20, for example, might go back up more easily. i am sure you can get thru this eventually but, in my own opinion, to get thru this completely in a way to make it worth it over resetting, would need to pass more time, although I’m sure irl stuff is more important ofc.
Just something to think about. The time over reset to a certain level VS the time to get thru them.
realistically, by doing 20-30 minutes a day, how long until things start to go back to normal?
I am not trying to be discouraging, I am just a very logic-thinking person and thought its a good point to bring up. your accuracy and burned items are great … you have definitively more patience than all of us!
Well, when you can’t reach 0 reviews daily (or nearly daily) that makes the SRS less effective, as not seeing the items at the natural SRS intervals (=going way too long without seeing individual items) will cause you to fail more items and decrease your accuracy - so a pile this huge actually can slow you down a fair bit (if you can’t reach 0 reviews). I think this userscript helps a lot to fix this problem though:
Unless I’m misunderstanding something - isn’t it disadvantageous doing a few reviews out of 6500 and then usually not seeing those items again until many months later, making you just forget them over that duration and fail them again? Wouldn’t the SRS interval reordering help with this even with an enormous apprentice pile? Either way, best of luck to you - persistence is key & you can do this
Wanikani has no idea what the theoretical “true” SRS interval should be, since it has no idea how well you actually know an item. And that’s before you get into issues like how there are often multiple related items, etc.
Anyway, I did start manually doing an extra review of leeches outside of Wanikani every Saturday morning.
I actually do not think I said level 1. I think that would be counterproductive as you obviously retain information of past levels pretty well, it seems. I meant resetting halfway. You can reset to a specific level. In my opinion it would be faster resetting halfway, like, lvl 20, and then would be relatively faster to cut thru the pile then levelling up, as the reviews would go to 0 faster… that’s how I understand how the system work. Also level 18/20 is when the amount of work goes higher and stuff gets hard, as I saw in some charts. Which is why I mentioned that level.
But what’s important is you enjoy your workflow and are happy with how things are going … at end of day it’s your learning system and if you’re doing well and are happy then don’t mind us like I said I believe your stats that you pump up are good stats.
This morning’s review session went great. At that rate, I’ll hit 5000 reviews in just a day or two (though I was expecting to hit it very soon anyway). And unlike on July 11th, this time I expect to actually stay there once I hit it. My review count has steadily been dropping since the peak at over 5300. It may have taken a long time to get here, but slow and steady wins the race.
If you use the reorder ultimate 2 script you can do it by level btw and that has been super helpful for me as I have also had a review wall recently, although mine only got to around 1800 items.
like I said I believe your stats that you pump up are good stats.
