Having Reviews based on JLPT Level

Hi all!

I had almost an 6 month pause for japanese learning, and now as I came back I had a nice 800 reviews waiting for me.

There is a quite a bunch of grammar that I crammed before the pause (for JLPT test) I have forgotten, and would like to reset those that I have forgotten.

Is there a way of filtering or ordering the reviews so that I it would start from JLPT5 and then go up from there. This way I could quickly get the stuff that I remember (most likely lower JLPT grammar) well out of the way, and would get to the stuff where it seems to be that I have forgotten that I can then restudy.

Any recommendations for this or any other good way to restart bunpro are well appreciated!

I think in general this would be a useful feature. Any amount of review filtering or ordering option would be a boon.

Hey there @kijoe and welcome to the forums!

As of right now we don’t currently offer any way to sort your reviews. That said though, I’m taking note as I too can see the value for it.

As for a more immediate solution, there are several ways of manipulating the level SRS of each Grammar Point.

  • You can access the Grammar Point view directly from your reviews, just click on “Show Grammar Info” or press F. Down below, you’ll get the “Your Progress” card, there you can use the actions to quickly move that point in or out.

  • You can also use Reset to get rid of the reviews and start fresh. You can find Reset by clicking on User → Profile → Reset. You can get rid of ALL reviews this way in one go by JLPT Level.

  • Finally, on Content → Grammar, you can select multiple Grammar Points by clicking the “Select Grammar Points” top left button. From there, you can use bulk actions to manipulate anything you’ve selected.

My advice? You can try and do a Cram Session per JLPT Level. Crams don’t affect your reviews, and give you a report of what you got right and what you got wrong. I’d probably set as Known anything I got right during the Cram, and Reset/Add to reviews what I need a refresher on.

That said, there’s been a LOT of updates lately, so maybe going from scratch would be a great way to get a refresher!

Hi Daru, thanks for the tips!

I did a reset already a year ago (when I had my previous hiatus period). I tworked ok, but ended up getting frequent reviews of stuff I knew quite well when adding the items back.

So probably I’ll this time by just going through the items by glancing the jlpt level list and just removing the ones that I think I have forgotten.

This might help if you have the beta feature enabled.

If you are studying for a certain level there will be a box visible with Reviews listed where you can study those reviews only. Sadly I don’t have reviews right now, but I crudely screencapped where it should be.

Theoretically clicking on that box should have you only review grammar points from N3 or whatever level you are wishing to study.

Edit: added a grammar point to the reviews pile to show where it would be. This doesn’t seems to reflect ghosts, just the normal SRS reviews. Hope it helps. :slight_smile:
