<p>I have a big exam coming up in two weeks, with several sets of
flashcards (each with 400+ cards) I want to get through. I'm not
clear how exactly the lesson functionality works. What I would
ideally want to do is to be able to go through all the flashcards
at least once, and to continually repeat the ones I get wrong
across multiple sessions (if I get a question right the first time,
I don't want to waste my time going through it again and again.
However, I also want to be able to switch between different
flashcard sets per day. When I set up a lesson, do the incorrect
cards stay in "lessons due" set, or will I not see them again until
the next interval? Is there a way to only go through all the
flashcards marked incorrect? Also, what is the difference between
"normal", "intense", and "very intense"? I am using the iphone app
in conjunction with the mac app.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p></div>ACCtag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/66584992011-04-15T12:09:41Z2011-04-15T12:09:41ZClarification on lesson functionality<div><p>If you mark a note wrong, it stays in the lesson. In the
preferences, you can also change the behavior of what happens when
a note is wrong. You may want it to reset the whole lesson schedule
for that note.</p>
<p>There is not really a way to just look at the wrong notes, but
you can sort the notes by their lesson progress, and that way you
can see the ones that you know least well. Just click on the header
of the column with the pie charts.</p>
<p>You can study just the lesson notes in a particular case. Select
the case, and choose the 'Study Lesson Notes in Case' menu
item.</p>
<p>I would just use the 'normal' schedule, which is the standard
spaced repetition algorithm. The others just double or triple each
interval.</p>
<p>To keep the lesson on your iPhone up to date, best to sync
regularly, such as daily.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.<br>
Kind regards,<br>
