How is streak calculated?

Say I have a streak of 10, I assume I got it right 10 times. Is that on the trot? If I get it wrong does it drop to 9?

If you have get a question right 10 times in a row you will have a streak of 10. If you miss it, it will drop down to 9. We limit the number of streak counters you can lose in a single session.

Maybe “streak” isn’t the right term then. Streak means “in a row”, so it’s not really accurate for this usage. This indicator is simply your SRS level, right? WaniKani has separate stats for current SRS level, current streak, and longest streak to avoid this issue.

That is very true. The “streak” is a remnant of the way the SRS originally functioned and right now is indeed simply the SRS level. I think it could use some rewording.
