Card Review is one session over everything due for review, from all your collections and the learning paths you are enrolled in. It serves words, kanji and kana, most overdue first. You need to be signed in.
Open Card ReviewStarting a review
Dashboard
The Reviews tile shows what is due. Press Start review.
Mastery Dashboard
A Review button with your due count sits above your items.
A learning path, waypoint or collection you are enrolled in
Open the arrow on its Continue button and pick Review only. It serves just the reviews due there, the number on the button corner, with no item limit or timer, then ends.
Card Review itself
It has a page of its own, so you can open it or bookmark it any time.
What counts as due
- Each skill on an item has its own review date. Once that date passes, the item is due for that skill.
- Only what an exercise can ask you about is counted, so the count is one you can finish.
- Items excluded from all study or from reviews are never due.
- Items coming due within 24 hours wait at the back. The start screen tells you how many.
Before you start
The start screen shows how many reviews are ready and about how long they take. Edit settings to change any of these:
Source
Narrows the review to one learning path, one waypoint or one collection. Choose All sources to get the whole queue back.
Skills
The skills you want to be asked about. Remembered for your next review.
Priority
The order items come in. It never changes which items are due.
- Most overdue leads with what has waited longest.
- Weakest first leads with the items least likely to stick.
- Balanced urgency mixes the two, which keeps a long backlog moving. A review of more than 200 items starts here unless you chose otherwise.
Review Sources
- An item on a learning path you are enrolled in is named by its waypoint.
- Anything else is named by the collection that brought it in.
- Small sources, and items nothing names, are grouped under Other.
A word linked to one of its meanings is asked with that meaning, the same as when you study its collection or waypoint. A link on a learning path you are enrolled in comes first. If your collections link the word to different meanings, the collection that has been in your library longest wins. A review narrowed to one collection uses that collection's link. A word with no linked meaning is asked with its main meaning.
How a review ends
- It runs through everything due. Session length can cap it at a number of items or a time instead.
- Items you miss come back later in the same review, on top of the count.
- With the due items done and more coming due within 24 hours, you choose: Done, or Keep reviewing to get a head start on them.
- If your answers moved a waypoint on a learning path you are enrolled in, the end screen says so.
- Done takes you back to the page you started from, as do Close on the start screen and the back button. Try again goes back to the start screen with fresh counts, so you can review what is still due.
With nothing due, Card Review says so and tells you when your next review is.
In Study History
- Card Review sessions have their own Card Review tab.
- A session's By source list names where its cards came from.
- It does not count toward a waypoint's Study Stats. The Study history tab on that collection or learning path does include it.
