I am assuming that the SRS score for a word gets docked the same amount no matter how many times we get it wrong in that review session (i.e. mistyping the reading vs getting both reading and meaning wrong vs taking twelve attempts to type the reading correctly … all have the same effect, yes?) …

I believe it is set up that an item drops two SRS levels each time you fail a review. It does drop more if you fail it more than once in a session. Could be that it drops 1 level after the first time, but either way it drops each time you fail it. See above No, they do not lock again once th…

They are going to add all the kanji meanings as invisible synonyms to radicals at some point. It’s part of a major update to the radicals that has been in the works for a long time. For what it’s worth, 本 does mean real. It also means book. And origin.

it’s probably worth trying to remember 久 as ‘long time’ because that is what it will be in the vocabulary: 久しぶり (long time no see) and 久し (long time) when you get to the vocab. It’ll help you remember the vocab much more easily later. I encountered exactly this problem with the same kanji. I suspec…

Yes, they all have the same effect, unfortunately. When your item is at a guru level or above, it gets bumped down 2 levels. When the item is apprentice level, it gets bumped 1 level every time it is gotten wrong. This happens even if you get it wrong in the same session. This is good. This is …

To answer #1, I believe the formula is RoundUp (wrong answers / 2) * penalty where penalty is 1 if the item is Apprentice and 2 if the item is Guru or higher. Therefore you will not be penalized more for a second wrong answer, but you will be penalized for a third (and fifth and seventh and so on). …

@seanblue is correct regarding #1.

Sometimes, I do multiple wrong inputs after I got a review item wrong the first time, so that it drops down to apprentice 1 for more exposure. I wish I could set items to apprentice 1 without having to do a review on it. Sometimes I do a review wrong because of a kanji in a vocabulary. But its no…

[image] VegasVed: I would relock items and throw them back into the lesson queue. Any items that depend on a relocked item would get their SRS level reset to 0 and would also get relocked. For me, that would be horrible! Just imagine you get a radical, that has a crazy mnemonic meaning and no…
