Summary Percentages and lesson percetage

[NaomiLaura]

Hello everyone,

can someone explain to me why, when I do my lessons, WK tells me the percentage in the righthand corner (last time it was 93%, and yes I know that changes while I do the lessons) but once I finish the percentage on the lesson overview page is significantly lower (last time 87%)?
I find this incredibly and utterly demotivating and disouraging and wonder why it is even there if it will be different in the end anyway…

PLEASE fix the disparity between in-progress scores and final scores

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature During reviews, you are shown how many answers you have given correctly. After reviews, you are shown how many items you got correct. So if you review two items, and get the reading of one of them wrong, you will see 75% during reviews, because you’ve given a wrong answer to 1 out of 4 questions. Afterwards, you will see a score of 50% because you got 1 of 2 items wrong. You might want different data displayed during reviews, and I agree they…

Edit:

There is also a user script that changes it.

[UserScript] WaniKani Reviews Color Progress Bars And Real Percentage

In today’s installment of scripts that will make you feel worse, we have “WaniKani Reviews Color Progress Bars And Real Percentage” What is it you may ask? Why, it makes that white progress bar at the top green and red, so you can get a better idea of just how many questions you are getting wrong. And it gets even better. That percentage will now reflect your true score. The one you get at the results screen. Not that skewed higher than it really is one that is there now. You’ll even get …

thank you so much for your explanation!

unfortionately I am not confident in using user scripts to change WK, so I’ll just logg it as a reccomendation with WK directly and hope they wil change it at some point…

again, thanks a lot!

Any particular reason? Installing a script is super easy if that’s what’s holding you back

What if I’m being nefarious, and my script’s secret intent is identity theft?

You can always view the code before you install

I second suggestion to use some scripts, there are some super helpful for learning.

I’ve had a look at it and find the instuctions too confusing. I feel uncomfortable with instaling anything that dind’t come from a verified company (I know, those can make mistakes too, but I have to draw the line somehwere) and installing something on my laptop I dont know the origin of is pretty scary. I’m scared I’d screw up my laptop. I’m a Uni Student and this laptop is my life currently… no laptop = no essays

[NaomiLaura]

I cant read code, so that’s no help for me unfortionately…

Totally your decision. If you start using these forums more, you will find tremendously supportive community that adds to your learning experience for free, answer your language questions etc. And since a lot of WK users are coders, they developed bunch of browser extensions to enhance their own WK experience, and shared them with the community. I don’t check the code since it’s time consuming, but I trust bunch of other people recommendations. Anyway, it’s all in forums category on APIs, so check it one day if interested. All the best!
