i have a big test coming up in April, but several of my cards are not scheduled until after the test date- and I'm a little uncomfortable with the idea of not seeing them again before the exam. Any ideas to solve that? Like is there a way to reset the learning data on that subset of cards somehow? 

Maybe I should just trust the algorithm...

Hi,

you could use the cramming plugin, or export the cards as tab-seperated text. The default algorithm is only for long-term memorization.

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply! Doing the cramming mode would be tough because it's over 4000 cards (it's to prepare for a boards exam) and I think the reason some of my cards are scheduled so far out is because many of the cards were created years ago and haven't been seen in a long time. So if I haven't seen a card for 2 years and happen to guess it correctly now, I think Mnemosyne assumes I could remember it for another 2+ years without seeing it. Some of these cards say next repetition will be 6 years from now!

However... maybe I could sort all the cards by next repetition and add a special tag to all the ones that are scheduled so far out, then activate only those and then do the cramming scheduler?

Hi,

 

Bear in mind that if you feel you’ve only obtained the answer after a lucky guess, there’s nothing that prevents you from grading the card 0 or 1 (i.e. failed). You’re in charge of your own learning evaluation and you can grade the cards accordingly.

 

You can indeed selective cram based on an activated tag. That’s how the system was designed.

 

Cheers,

 

Peter

Thanks! I'll do the tagging/cramming combo to review those cards and mark lucky guesses with "1" from now on. Thanks for your help!
