Hi all,
I'm using Anki to do a lot of SRSing for RtK1 (I'm around frame no. 1000 now) in addition to vocabulary and grammar. I'm planning to finish the book by 1st of November, and then spend a month reviewing 100cards/day.
However, I don't know until now how to specify a minimum number of cards, although I know how to specify a maximum!
I already know that specifying a minimum will make do some redundant reviews, but I really don't mind that for a month or so of time.
Any suggestions?

The idea behind Anki is that it'll quiz you when there's a character you need to study.  Specifying a minimum doesn't make much sense from that point of view.  If you want, you can always use the "review early" button, but I don't think it'll help you.

Piotr Wozniak's (of Supermemo) research actually argues that excess repetition generally forms weaker memories.

Of course, YMMV, but I'd recommend to 'Learn to stop worrying and trust the SRS'.

Just let the reviews pile up. That's how my core 6000 deck has been for over a year even though I use it every day. I just do what I can, and I usually try for about a hundred reviews with ten new cards daily. When I finally get to those cards that I haven't seen in forever, Anki will take care of the rest and space correct answers accordingly. Whatever I forget gets reset. No big deal.
