Card schedule

[Marcin M.]

Hi,

I've just noticed that a word I don't remember anymore has a revision in 1.2 years. I marked them as usual and remembered with the last revision.

Any ideas why it's like that?

[Peter Bienstman]

Hi,

The algorithms can't read your mind, obviously. This is not exact science, and it's certainly possible you forget a word earlier than it's supposed to come up for review in Mnemosyne.

Cheers,

Peter

Yeah, but the interval is clearly too long. What my behavior (the way of giving the notes, etc.) could cause it? So that I can avoid such situations in the future. The algorithm can't read my mind, but I can adapt to the algorithm.

Hi,

A straightforward option is just to give lower grades.

I had the same problem for a while and decided about a year ago to adopt Peter's suggestion (before I saw his suggestion, of course). I don't give myself a grade of "5" unless the answer is immediately obvious to me, e.g.,

Q: "What is the next letter in the Roman alphabet after 'A' "?

A: "B".

I would gladly give myself a grade of "5" for that question. I would probably use grades of "4" for most of the Greek alphabet, but I give myself a maximum grade of "3" for most other questions. As a result, I may see some questions pop up more often than I think necessary, but it is never an annoyance to me.

Hint: if grades of 1.5 or 2.5 were allowed, the resultant flexibility might be more helpful to me.

Thanks! I'd rather Mnemosyne had grades 0..k, k in {6,7,8,9} than having half-grades. This way you can give yourself a grade with the keyboard quickly.

And what is the grade 2 really supposed to be for? I'm in two minds.

[Peter Bienstman]

Grade 2 means you remember it less than grade 3 :-)

Yeah, but practically? That I make a small mistake (e.g. confuse the article)? Or that I half-guessed the answer?

[Peter Bienstman]

Giving a grade 2 will result in a shorter interval than grade 3. Don't fret too much over it, just go with your gut feeling :-)
