Hi,
I rushed myself through too much of the grammar at once and now have got so many grammar points to review that my brain can’t keep them straight and so I’m not improving. Instead, I’m just getting them muddled over each other.
What can I do to sort this out? Can I mark grammar points as ‘unlearned’? Can I adjust a setting so that reviews are more staggered?
Any help would be super appreciated!
You can adjust reviews frequency in the settings, or manually remove grammar points from your review stack (not sure if there is a way to do multiple points at once tho)
However, you could also just adjust your pace and accept that you will have some reviews left at the end of the day and that’s alright. If you don’t add new grammar points your daily load should decrease at some point. When you say you’ve got too many of them, how much are we talking ? 200 ? 500 ?
If I realize I’ve gone too fast I just set a number of daily reviews in my head to do (i.e. 50) and leave the rest while taking a break from lessons. Eventually over the course of a week or so this starts to break down the pile and become more manageable.
Eventually once my daily reviews drop past that amount then I know its safe to start lessons again.
I’d recommend this over starting from zero and push through even though its demotivating getting things mixed up. If you get something wrong just remember to look at the description and examples to refresh yourself.
I agree with FullMetalAlba. I want to emphasize that after you’re done with the pile of reviews that you have atm, make sure that you adjust your new card number so they won’t pile up again as being consistent is way more effective than rushing and cooling down repeatedly (even though I am guilty of this myself 
)
In addition to the above, you can set review order in review settings (whilst reviewing) to be ascending. This means that the first reviews will always be your weakest, and you’ll repeat the weakest ones first, helping you drill away at the mass of reviews
I’ve ended up with that problem. Especially in Wanikani. Sometimes you need to set limits for yourself. Like, for the next month, only do reviews and no new lessons. It’ll eventually settle down. It’s important to not get overwhelmed, but also to keep at it every day.
I’d recommend not just resetting everything. Reread the lessons when you make a mistake.
