How do Custom Sentences fit into Spaced Repetion/Grammar Topics

I was guided to using Custom Sentences to try and add forms to grammar points not directly included in Bunpro’s content. I see all of my custom sentences under Self-Study on the dashboard, with each having its own level (Beginner 1, Adept 1, etc…). I have a few questions on how these sentences are used in regards to the grammar points they are created under.

  1. During reviews, are all these sentences included separately/independent of the Grammar Point?
  2. Do the sentences count towards the total level of the Grammar point itself?
  3. How often and how soon are custom sentences introduced as part of the reviews?
  4. Do these sentences get included in cram sessions?

Sorry for the barrage. I am finding more and more places where my school’s chosen book takes a difference approach/describes grammar forms not covered by Bunpro. I am wondering how effective is Bunpro keeping track of the custom grammar points I am trying to cover through custom sentences.

Any interested in examples:Bunro’s 上で(上で) only discusses after,upon, but うえで can also be used to describe circumstances/situations/conditions. It uses Verb[る]+うえで along with several other forms that seem to be totally absent from any Bunpro grammar points. I was directed to use custom sentences to fill in the gaps.

Hi there!

All good questions.

  1. Yes, they are separate and both a Regular Review and Self-study Review can show up in your Reviews at the same time for the same Grammar Point~
  2. No they do not – XP is only awarded/negated when the SRS level (‘streak’) of a Regular Review changes
    • Self-Study Reviews don’t count towards the SRS Level of a Grammar Point
  3. They will show up in your Review queue instantly
  4. Not as far as I’m aware, they do not show up inside of Cram

Hope this helps!

Got it. Thank you.

Hi ! I have a question too on this topic : if you fail a custom sentence, does it create a ghost review ? Or do ghost reviews only depends of the SRS levels ?
Thanks for the answer !

Hi there! Good question.
Ghost Reviews are not created for Self-Study sentences (custom sentences) or Vocab sentences.
