Well done! Keep it up :-)

thank you. how do you decide when you are learning too many verses to retain them?

I decided to slow down when my review list backlog was always growing at a faster rate than I was reviewing verses each day.

I like that answer since it gives everyone a number that works for them.

I slowed down to 1 a day for a while, but found that it took too long to get through anything. So now I learn 3 verses a day and have learned to live with an impossibly long review list that I have no chance of ever getting through. But that´s ok, I´m still learning a lot, and sometimes I have days where I can review more than other days, then I go back and review passages that I feel like reviewing. And gradually some of it sinks in :-)

That seems great for getting familiar with lots of Scripture.

I decided a few months ago to essentially "put to the side" the review queue. Instead, I've made my own review queue on a spreadsheet -- I go through in Bible order all of the chapters I've added. In most cases I've added entire books. I decided back in June to make it my own priority to study books of the Bible as a whole. When I get to the end of my own review queue -- Revelation 22 -- then I will start again at the beginning and once again go through them all in Bible order. I'm finding that method to be, personally, very beneficial.

I'm not trying at all to advocate that anyone else should do what I just described -- it's simply the direction which I believe that God led me in -- the main thing is to study and meditate on God's Word in context -- there are many good methods of achieving that.

thank you joosep. That sound like a detailed approach which would be useful for someone who had learned a collection of summary verses of all of Scripture.

Yes. Well, I would like to clarify, in my own case, not *all* of scripture. At the moment, on my own review queue are the following: some of Daniel, some of Matthew, all of Mark, some of Luke, all of John, some of Acts, all of Romans, some parts of the other letters, and all of Revelation.
