Is it possible to review more often? - Lazerbeat - 2011-06-17
Hey there, this is my first post so do be gentle! I have a kind of patchy knowledge of Kanji so decided to run through RTK1. I have gone through the first three lessons and love the way the site works. I would like to review my cards more often but none of my kanji have come up for review yet.
Is there a way to do this on the site?

This site uses a Leitner system to make use of the spacing effect to optimize memorization. There's no need to review more often; in the literature on spacing that's called overlearning, the reduction of which benefits your long-term retention of kanji/words/etc.
In short, just review the cards when they come up and move on till they reappear, which is in part based on how you graded their ease or difficulty. It seems counter-intuitive, but you'll get used to it and fall in love with whoever made your studying a million times more efficient.

Thanks very much for the help, I don't know if I underestimated my own ability or more likely the effectiveness of RevTK but I am doing pretty well with my first 100 kanji.,

If you really want to you can simply delete the cards and add them again and go through the blue pile. Deleting flashcards does not affect stories.
When you have 300-400 kanji and it becomes impractical to review them all everyday or even once a week, then let the SRS do its thing and focus on good stories that let you remember a kanji for several days or weeks.
