Woowee boy, I think you’ll like this one. We added two new Review Queue options.
- Apprentice First
- Lower SRS Stages First
Apprentice level items need to be studied more on time than items at higher SRS stages. Your memory’s just not going to be as strong so early on when you’re learning something. If you miss an Apprentice review by days (or even hours), there’s a decent chance you’ll forget it. This, along with the new Priority Review indicators, are designed to help you out with that. Basically, they frontload your Review queue with Apprentice items first, so you can study them on time when you have too many reviews to do.
Some details on both new review order options:
- Apprentice First: This prioritizes your Apprentice Items in Reviews first. Then randomizes the rest of your (Guru+) items. If you usually finish your Reviews, I think this will be a good option for you. On days when you’re busy, or have too many reviews to do, you can finish your Apprentice items first and then go back to carving shokupan sculptures.
- Lower SRS Stages First: This Reviews ordering is similar to Apprentice First, but this one just does all your Reviews in order of SRS stage groupings. Prioritizes reviews by Apprentice → Guru → Master → Enlightened.
That said, if you’re pretty much always caught up on your Reviews pile, I’d still recommend Shuffled as your ordering of choice. It’s the best one for study, if you actually do all your studying. But, for those of you who are busy and can’t spend every waking hour doing Reviews, you can use one of these to at least make it through your Apprentice reviews. Others (cough) might use this to help them level up as quickly as possible… But hey, it’s not a race, it’s a marathon, which I guess is a race, but a really long one. Anyways, I hope these new Reviews ordering options will be helpful.
You can change your Review Ordering in your Review Settings.
