The Mastery Dashboard is the record of everything you have studied: how well you know each item, skill by skill, and when it comes back for review.
Open Mastery DashboardWhat the dashboard shows
Tabs
Words, kanji, kana, and knowledge cards, each on its own tab.
Skill levels
Every skill runs from New up to Mastered, so reading and listening stand on their own. A level can drop back after a miss; the item is back in review, ready to build up again.
Core Mastery
The average of your core-skill levels, shown as a percent. Each level step is 20%.
Next Review
When the item comes back: overdue, today, tomorrow, or a later date.
Search and filters
Narrow the list to what you want to see.
Knowledge cards
Track opens and how often you return, not scores.
Mastery levels
A level is an estimate of how long your memory of a skill holds. Kana are a small set you meet in every word, so their spans are shorter.
| Level | Words and kanji | Kana |
|---|---|---|
| Novice | under 2 days | under 1.5 days |
| Learning | 2 to 12 days | 1.5 to 6 days |
| Familiar | 12 to 48 days | 6 to 19 days |
| Proficient | 48 days to 6 months | 19 to 52 days |
| Mastered | 6 months or more | 52 days or more |
- New means you have not studied that skill yet.
- Rises at any review, by as much as your answer shows. There is no daily limit.
- Back in review after a miss: the item takes the level your memory shows and comes back sooner, so you can build it up again.
- Holds through a break. Time away never lowers a level; it only makes items due.
When an item is due
Each skill on an item carries its own review date. Once that date passes, the item is due for that skill.
Reviewing what is due
Card Review is one session over everything due, from all your collections and the learning paths you are enrolled in.
Card ReviewWhy the count moves
- Rises on its own as scheduled dates arrive.
- Falls as you finish reviews, since each one takes a date further ahead.
- Misses stay close and can return within the same session.
How reviews are scheduled
Every item keeps two estimates for each skill:
- How long the memory holds.
- How much work the item takes you.
Your rating and how quickly you answered update both. The next review lands near the point you would start to forget.
Until an item proves it holds, it comes back sooner. The level it holds going into a review sets the longest wait:
- New and Novice: within 3 days (kana 2).
- Learning: within 12 days (kana 6).
- Familiar: within 49 days (kana 19).
- Proficient and Mastered: the full gap.
Studying an item before its date still counts. The gap grows a little less than it would on time, and the level can still rise. A correct answer within 12 hours of its last review is practice: it adds to your counts without moving its date or its level.
Excluded
The Excluded status filter lists items with either mark. Each row says which:
- Excluded from all study: never comes up. Open the item to restore it.
- Excluded from reviews: no reviews, still studied in paths and collections. Open the item to add it back to your reviews.
