Took time off - 902 reviews: what to do

[charluca]

i wish I had that many reviews to do !

[lekseiftw]

Take it one step at a time, and don’t feel overwhelmed! Do 150 plus a day and you’ll catch up

[Micki]

Your 696 items on enlightened have been answered correctly at least 7 times so far to get to where they are. Assuming most of these are kanji/vocab which need a review for meaning and for reading - you’ve done at least 14 reviews in the past on these items. So it would take you 696x14=9744 reviews to get them back to where they are!

So don’t reset to level 1!!

You got this! Just do extra reviews each day at your own pace!

[Seironsou]

You just do them, it is up to you fast you finish them, but in cases like this, the only way to make progress is to go through them and complete the batch. I would like previous answers to break it up in pieces and take them in chunks, maybe during one-2 days, do 100 rest, and then the next 100 etc. Technically its only half of 900 aka. 450 as one meaning in English and one Japanese meaning of the same word/phrase, so if you know half of the meanings in one language or the others that is already half the battle won. Keep on fighting and you can do it!

If I can take a hiatus of 5 years, and go through two levels in under a month, I believe you can keep going. =)

I put it down for a couple years and came back to I think 500 or so reviews…I just dug my way through them and caught up. But for me, even my current level is all review. If you don’t feel comfortable with what you’re reviewing, sure, reset, but it’s gonna be a lot of work to get back to where you are now.

[evolutionxbox]

Same here. A one level reset was worth it in the end (in my opinion).

Progress report?

[konekush]

1. Install this script:
   [Userscript] WaniKani Prioritize Overdue Reviews (reorder script)

2. do every day the same amount of reviews will pop up the next day + 10

3. once you’ve caught up on WK, disable the script.

Good luck!!

We haven’t given up on you, so don’t give up on yourself! A week of 100-150 reviews a day will definitely show results.

Thanks everyone for the advice and support! I came back from all the 出張 I had and now am back on the horse.

Lets see how long this takes…

[neosim]

Ok so I took more time off and even went over 1000, BUT NOW IM BACK BABY!

Finally back down to zero except by tomorrow I’ll have another 200 reviews

The lesson is, if you take time off, pause it.
