A study session tests each item with one of a few exercise types. Each has its own guide.
The exercise types
Writing
Write kana, kanji and words by hand, stroke by stroke.
- The prompt sits above the boxes; Undo and Hint sit under them.
- The dots over the box are your tries; fewer misses rate higher.
- A pass shows the green panel. Use up a stroke's dots and the red panel offers Try again, Skip and Continue.
- Turn Handwriting on in the Practice tab's exercise types and Kana, Kanji, Words, Words up to and Write what you hear show under it.
- Stroke style on the Display tab of study settings picks Brush or Line, the same choice as the stroke order viewer and Write it.
Not tested
Knowledge cards are read and revisited, not scored. New item cards show a word, kana or kanji the first time you meet it, with its meaning or sound, a few exercises before it's tested. Turn them off with Introduce new items on the Practice tab of study settings.
A session picks the exercise for each item from its skill and how far along you are.
