Is the most common study practice to ‘wrap up’ every session? I’m finding it quite time-consuming.

Depends on my time. If Im stopping to go do something else or a certain length of time has passed sure. But Im also only wrapping up like 5-10 items at a time and Ill cheat them a little bit because I have a total reset on forgotten items. So Ill see them my next review anyway. If I gotta go ASAP than nah, its a full reset anyway so it wont be a bother to me at all.

Once you get used to the time commitment of wrapping up, you figure out how many “pending” reviews you can tolerate before you decide to end a session. Personally I keep it at 10 and under. Alternatively, you can just end the review session and not wrap up.

I rather like getting another reminder of the items I got wrong, so yes, I do wrap up. In addition, I like to have ghosts for things I’m truly about to forget, which requires wrapping up.
Though there are occasions where I simply have to abruptly quit the session instead of wrapping up, I guess.

i usally use the wrap up to go over the full item page again. read the example sentences, update my notes/mnemonics. So in other words, the wrap up serves as an important step in my learning process that i never skip. Id rather cut the reviews short when I feel like it’s too much

I do wrap up every single time.

I also wrap up every time. I think it’s worth it! If you don’t have too many reviews it’s no biggie - I find it’s helpful to use Bunpro more than once a day to break up review sessions. Say 8-12 reviews 2-3 times a day rather than 30+ at once.

With a couple of weird exceptions, like when I have a few minutes before I have to leave for work and am just getting through what I can before then, yes, every time.
For the sake of my mental health, I wrap up every time.
I have a rule that I don’t add anything new until I complete the current reviews. If you are adding more and more new material before your reviews are completed, that has a way of adding up very fast.
Trust me, you don’t want to wake up to 100 reviews. Then it becomes a chore you’re only half-heartedly doing rather than actually trying to understand the material.

I would wrap-up if I had less reviews to get through. Until I catch up it’s a bit difficult to do so.
I only do five reviews per session so I “wrap up” every time.

I usually wrap up every time. If I get to 20 mistakes and still have time to review, I’ll wrap up and then start a new review session.
I’m doing a few hundred reviews a day at the moment because I added a bunch of vocabulary to prepare for the JLPT. Splitting into smaller chunks helps.
Doing reading and vocab reviews I try to do so every time. I feel it helps retention a lot especially for the words/readings that aren’t targeted by the flashcards.
That period of 5-10 minutes between failing a card and then trying to remember it is so useful, especially if you have to repeat until you get it right. Additionally the sentence being tested might not come up again right afterwards.
100%, ideally doing SRS is something which should be enjoyable to some degree. Bunpro’s review distribution is really, really, really good at piling up especially if you miss even one day. For the grammar points quality of SRS over speed is essential.

TBH, I never wrap up, it doesn’t seem necessary since wrong items stay in your review queue anyway
