What Level Should I Reset To?

With 50% accuracy or even 70–80% percent accuracy, I wouldn’t worry about losing a few additional days/weeks, but rather how you can get more out of the lessons to remember the kanji from the start.

[I used the self-study script to directly repeat the new material a few times until I remembered it without thinking too much, in addition to the lessons.]

If you accumulate more content you struggle with it gets more and more difficult to remember new content. I would reset rather more than less :slight_smile: With the wkstats site you can objectively see where the problems start.

As someone who has had to reset to level 1 twice, level 7 is where I got to before I could no longer just breeze through the content on both resets. So I don’t think you should need to go any lower than 6.

keep in mind what a pain all those counters are during the first levels.

install Reorder, set it to ascending level order and take note where stuff becomes shaky.
that was lvl 20 for me when i came back, and the 23/24 stuff, i couldn’t even remember having learned. so, 20 it was for me. a good, healthy cut, right to where i wouldn’t say i was clueless, but where i had my doubts.

yeah, I think this is a good approach too

Also, don’t stress too much about it. In the end a few levels above or below what might have been the ‘optimum’ won’t matter too much. If you don’t reset far enough - oh well, you can always reset lower. If you reset too far - oh well, it won’t take long to catch up.

How do I do that? I just installed the script, but I don’t know how to make it reorder stuff.

there’s 2 scales, one weighs レベル vs タイプ … click it, so レベル has more weight

Where do I click on it though? Is it in settings? Is it in the review section? I tried to do reviews and nothing new popped up except something saying it was installing (but it also said it was at 100% and nothing was happening)

Hmm, the reorder script should result in a whole little thang appearing at the bottom of your review screen. Do you have the WK Open Framework installed as well, and are both scripts set to run? You should be able to check that by clicking on the little tampermonkey icon in the top-right of your browser when you do reviews.

I’ve done that and made sure WK Open Framework is running first. It’s still just giving me this: “WKU::Please Wait::Currently updating UID list… 100%”

#17

In a popup? I would suggest posting in the Open Framework thread or the Reorder Thread then :thinking: I’m not gonna be any further use :grin:

I’ve been having this too with the reorder script recently!!

#19

HOOO BOY so this problem goes deeper than I thought. I got the reorder thing to work, and I have forgotten things as far back as level 4. That’s really not encouraging at all. Most of them I was like OH YEAH DUH after I read the answer, but some of them…not so much.

Do you think I should really reset that far…? :fearful:

EDIT: Yahhh…I’m only getting like 50% on levels 4 and 5…this is not good…

Don’t worry too much about it. It’s like a new game+
First time around, you probably knew much less than that. Assuming you knew 10%, you now know an additional 40% of those level.
Similarly, you will be much more familiar with the following levels than you were the first time around.
So, yes, it does sound far, but it will be much easier to go back to your current level than reaching it the first time was, and you will have better foundations for what comes next.

頑張って :crabigator::sparkles:

if you forgot lvl 4 items, reset back to 1.
make a clear cut and enjoy the breeze through 1-3, build some confidence. then, when you get to 4+, take more times with the lessons.

there’s also another alternative.

don’t reset anything. no lessons. unburn lvl 1 kanji, then lvl 2, then 3, and so on.
start lessons again when all lvl 13 kanji are guru.

i’ll do something like that when i hit 30, unburn only kanji, starting at lvl 15 or so.

How would reviews work, then, though? I always have over 300+ ensuring I never review all concepts at the proper time (because I don’t have the time/patience to slog through a 300+ backlog every day).

just don’t do any new lessons for now. work your reviews till the apprentice count is below 50 before you start to unburn.

set yourself a limit. x reviews per day, or x amount of time, then just stick to it.

#25

As someone who just reset a second time to level 1, I recommend resetting to the level you’re having trouble with. I do my reviews on several devices, and not all of them support reordering.

I’ve been doing this for almost a month. I get so many wrong that it hardly makes a difference. :cry:
