Grading in Anki

#1
How are you folks grading yourselves in Anki? I'm using the following breakdown:
Fail: Missed at least 1 stroke, or misplaced relative placement of primitives
Hard: Got it all correct, but significant hesitation or incorrect stroke direction, e.g. direction of drops
Good: Got it all correct. Some hesitation, or strokes slightly out of order
Easy: No hesitation, all strokes in perfect order.

Thoughts?

I guess it's a good idea to be more strict about major mistakes later on, f.e. if you had the direction of a stroke wrong for the 2nd or 3rd time already, I would fail it, because you will likely keep doing the mistake.

If I failed then I'll select "fail", if it was hard I'll usually choose "hard", if I did pretty good then I'll probably opt for "good" and if it was easy I'm likely to click "easy". Wink

But seriously, there isn't really any ambiguity with Heisig is there?

Fail for any mistake.
I don't use Hard for kanji cards.
Good for most cards.
Easy for the ones that are easy enough that I want to get rid of them.

Fail: missed stroke, wrong primitive order, forgot 1 reading or wrong reading
Hard: took too long to recall, wasn't confident about the answer.
Good: everything correct but took effort
Easy: felt like it was a waste of time to review it (numbers, sun/day, etc)

At first I let the stroke direction on drop slide, but then I found I was consistently making the same mistakes. I've now separated drop into two primitives, one going NW-SE and one going NE-SW and modified my stories accordingly.
