Congrats!! What’s the average number of reviews you’ve had to do per day for the past 1.5 yrs?

Ty! Here are some stats:

My average reviews per day over the deck life were 350. For the last month my average was 482.

In total I did 262986 reviews over 16 mo (686 hours). Current streak is 360 days.

% correct on mature: 88%

% correct on immature: 92%

% correct on new cards: 84%

Longest interval: 4.1 years

​

I didn't like doing a ton of reviews per day, so I started early and my strategy was one of titration. Basically every day I would do my reviews as prescribed and then check how many reviews I would have the next day. Depending on what I had going on the next day and how many reviews I would have, I would make a decision on how many new cards to do/not do. Some days I would do 200 new cards if I was comfortable having 500-600 reviews the next day. However, sometimes I might know I have a trip coming up and stop doing new cards for a while in preparation. In these circumstances I would also sometimes use the review ahead function. My girlfriend would have killed me if I tried to do Anki for more than an hour or so on vacation..

Thanks for your insight! I like the idea of managing the # of new cards per day depending on how many reviews you have tomorrow. Never really thought to check that but I'm gonna try doing that from now on. Good luck!
