What do you think is a normal success rate for grammar points?

Hello everyone,

I’d like to get your opinion on what you consider a “normal” success rate for grammar reviews. I started using Bunpro two weeks ago and I’m currently studying at the N4 level, but I realized I have some gaps in my grammar foundation. Because of that, I went back to review all the N5 grammar points, which are going quite smoothly, and I’m also reviewing N4, which is a bit more challenging.

At the moment, I’m adding around 12 new grammar points per day (9 from N5 and 3 from N4). My current success rate is about 65%, and I was wondering if this is reasonable at this stage. I’d also like to know if there is a way to see an overall success rate, not just the one from the latest review session.

Thanks in advance for your help! :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m personally sitting at 60%. I’d say as long as you’re consistently doing your reviews and actually making an attempt at retaining information, you are doing good.

There are global stats in the app for each level you find find on the stats page in your profile. I looked just now, for grammar N5 is 85.17% and N4 is 77.98%. But, honestly, I wouldn’t worry about it. Like @wreaver said, just be consistent and go at your own pace. There are so many variables in there (like number of new items each day!) affecting those stats it’s not really meaningful to compare yourself to them. My stats are higher… but then I only do 2 new grammar and vocab items each day not 12, and I study them thoroughly. That suits my style - it’s not necessarily a better way to do it.

To be honest I wouldnt worry about success rates personally. I often go back and deliberately fail myself on a point if I didn’t feel like I really earned the answer, so my success rates are all over the shop. Remember you can always manually adjust the level of a point or word if you feel like you need more practice on it!

To see your overall accuracy stats for each JLPT N-level, click into your profile and then into stats (Stats | Bunpro), then scroll down until you see the section labeled “Total Review Questions Done”. This is also the section that shows the global averages that @whirly mentioned. As for a true overall stats section encompassing all N-levels, I don’t know if there is one, but you can calculate that info from the numbers shown in this section.

There’s a graph of your daily averages in the next section labeled “Accuracy Over Time (Percentage)”.

That’s a lot of new grammar points per day- do you have previous Japanese studies or something? For that many grammar points, that’s pretty good but maybe chill a bit and it will get even better.

Yeah, they said they are studying N4 right now, but have 9 N5 and 3 N4 points per day so they can firm up N5 stuff. I am doing the same with 20 N5 and 5 N4, so clearly they’re more sensible than me :sweat_smile:

Most of my failures come from not reading the prompt properly, which definitely becomes more of an issue when you have a load of things to review at the same time.

As for me, some are 100%, when I read them somewhere and it just clicked. Others are even below 50%, e.g when I constantly mix up two items it rakes me forever to detangle.

I try to improve those by crams, bit this is also why I don‘t think those percentages are comparable:

Grammar points have varying difficulty and in addition people come with different learning histories.

It fluctuates, but I always hope to get around 80% or up on every session.
