Change cram to show/grade?

I have some grammar points I wanted to practice, but it only lets me type in the answer directly. This doesn’t reflect how I do reviews (Reveal and Grade) so it doesn’t help me get better at those. I tried doing the flashcard style practice, but it seemed to do… nothing. It just showed the topic name and literally no other prompt. No question, no sentence, no example. Just like, “いーAdjective” alone on the screen and revealing an example sentence after clicking the next button.

So is there a way I can change the cram reviews to reflect what I’ll be seeing in my actual reviews? Thank you.

Hey, apologies that no one responded to you. You can choose the review type from the cram page when setting up your session. Sounds like you want to do the “Reading” mode. Perhaps “Flashcard” is not a very clear description and that is what caused confusion - I’ll bring that up with the team. Let us know if you have any other problems!

It’s a bit closer, but not exactly. During reviews, it’ll still show a blank space where the answer should be, and I still have to think about what the answer is – I just don’t have to manually type it. Then you click “Show Answer” and it reveals what should be in the blank. The reading practice is a little closer to that, but it already has the answer filled in, and revealing the answer just reveals the translation. It is definitely preferable to the input way, though.

Ah! I see what you mean now.

I believe that isn’t possible with Cram currently, although our Cram King :crown: @veritas_nz is better placed to answer your questions on this.

Sounds like what you’re asking for is Fill-in-the-blank questions, with Reveal-and-grade answers?

Then no, unfortunately this is not an option yet. :disappointed:
Definitely something we could/should add in the future though.

TBH I’m not sure when/why we decided that Cram Type should be restricted to only those 4 types.
