When should I do my "failed" extra reviews?

Bunpro
#1

I do my reviews twice a day, once in the morning, once in the aftenoon, full clear each time.

When I make a mistake in the morning reviews, it creates a similar review item immediately. For example, if I have 10 reviews to do in the morning and make a mistake on one of them, but finish the rest, I will immediately afterwards see 1 review waiting for me after I just cleared everything. This review is going to be testing the type of question that I just got wrong.

My question: do I do that new review right away, or should I wait until my next normal review session, like in the afternoon? What’s best for learning?

What I do is to do it right away, but I have the ghost activated, so I have to review this lesson for the following days, with this method I reinforce the lesson that I have some difficulties.

I also tried to do the review as soon as they appear, so I spent the whole day doing some lessons and keep in contact with the language.

I could be wrong, but I’m not sure that this is the intended behavior (unless the devs intentionally changed it recently). I’ve been using Bunpro for like 18 months now and I only started noticing this happening in the last week or two. As far as I know, you aren’t supposed to see the same item again until its next SRS interval comes up, except in the case of ghosts, which in my experience show up at the top of the next hour after they were created.

I think it’s a recent change, too.

I have ghosts on as PP mentioned, so I often see something again if I keep missing it, so I usually do it again at the moment to help reinforce it. But as someone else said, it’s really up to what works best for you.

Personally, I do it right away to reinforce the correct answer.

I find if I wait to redo the review, I am much more likely to forget the correction on subsequent reviews. If I redo it straight away, I am much more likely to remember in the future.

It’s definitely recent; I only started noticing it happening for me within the last few days. I’m personally not a huge fan since I like keeping my reviews clear, but they’re the same points I just wrapped up and I’d rather wait before doing them again. It’s definitely good practice, but I wish they were added to the next hour’s reviews rather than being immediately created.

Yes there should be no Review “immediately”.

Ghost creation was bugged, and we just fixed it (I believe).
But this feels like something different.

If you get something wrong, wrap it up, and then see it show up again straight away, please let me know!

Just did a round of reviews and wrapped up everything. Of the 8 items I got wrong and wrapped up at the end, 6 of them immediately showed up as new reviews. They were different sentences than the ones I just had, but they were the same items.

I just did a review session, cleared all my reviews, all correct except for one. Immediately got a new review available once I finished the session, and it’s testing the same topic that I got wrong.

I have noticed that if I don’t “wrap up” a session the same review will stay in the queue until I finish it. I’m not sure if it affects the SRS score like “wrap up” reviews don’t.

It’s definitely happening for me, but only when something would get knocked to or below level 0 think.

It’s not a ghost either, it’s the beginner 0 item.

I like it though. It forces me to cram something I absolutely don’t know well enough. I don’t hit the cram button much so I liked being forced in to it. I hoped it was a silent update.

Paid a little more attention to which items immediately showed back up this time, and I think you’re right. The only items that are popping right back up are the ones that dropped to beginner 0; everything else seems to be behaving normally.

I agree that I like this behavior because when something is new and doesn’t immediately stick, I will normally just fail it repeatedly because the interval is too long. This seems like it will help with that initial repetition. In fact, it might be good if there was an option for newly-learned items to show up x number of times in the first review instead of just once, to make sure it sticks.

As mentioned in another thread –
Marking Beginner 1 items incorrectly was bugging out – even after wrapping them up.
They would be added back into the Review queue instantly. This was NOT the intended flow :sweat_smile: and was a bug.

I’ve fixed it now.

Thanks! Looks fixed on my end too.
