good job!

Actually not that great of a job ☺️!
It’s the second time I’m getting to this milestone because some of the fully memorised verses are not actually fully memorised (or as I have discovered when reviewing fully learnt verses I seems like my memory is not that efficient) and so it’s been a back and forth journey.
Thank you for your kind words!

Congrats! Are you saying that you can lose progress? I am confused on the whole finishing a verse process, honestly. I do not see any information about it. So far, I have seen verses go from individual bubbles to giant bubbles, which surprised me (ha). I am not sure what other changes await me as I progress into my verses. Can you clarify? I, too, have wondered if this site alone will be enough for me to retain the verses, but as I said, I am still new to the process. I think at some point I will add Anki (a spaced repetition flashcard program) decks into the mix, because I'm afraid that I'll forget what I've learned over time. But for now, I'll just trust the system. I appreciate any clarification that you or other veterans can give me.

I'll add this, if it helps. At one point a few years ago I reached 300 verses finished. But I believe there is an option, when you reach that point, to click "fully learnt" or to review them again in one year. I believe I chose to review them again, and so I had a similar back and forth as Luli described, where I reached 300, went backwards, then reached it again (several times). The rest of my story is that I at some point started using Memverse, then came back here and reset everything to zero :) At this moment I have a lot of verses in the 90 percent range, and hope they will be reaching "fully learnt" sometime soon :)

The thing I'm not clear on is this: isn't it possible to click "fully learnt", and then you won't be shown those verses for review, ever again? If anyone knows about this, it would be great if they could clue us in :)

To onfire247: when a verse gets to more than 25%, you no longer see the "bubbles" as individual words.

To onfire247, as joosep described, that’s precisely what’s happened. I had purposefully selected “review sooner” in an attempt to memorise each verse completely. I was hoping to be able to remember each of those verses accurately even after almost a year but not as easy as desired!
I’m not entirely sure what happens if I select “fully learnt” option; although I have began selecting it for some of the easy passages such as Psalm 1 and Psalm23.
I guess this might prove a lot more challenging if trying to recite/ memorise the whole book of James, which I would highly recommend!

Thanks Luli2016 and joosep, really helpful. I too was wondering to what extent learnscripture would cement them in my brain.

To onfire247, in general it takes at least a year for a verse to go from new to fully learnt. More than a year if at some point you have difficulty remembering it :)

Thanks for the comments guys. Its nice to have the advice of people upon who's shoulders I now stand.

Another reason why some people’s number of verses learnt dropped was because The system was rejigged a few months back. Previously if you’d learnt say John 3v16 and John 3v 17 and also the double verse of John3v16-17 it would have shown as 3 verses learnt. Luke changed that so that it would only show as 2 verses whichever way you learnt them. My total dropped by quite a lot as I used to do something similar a lot in the first year or so as I found I wasn’t getting enough review. I actually learnt verses singly then as blocks of 4 verses. As the site has improved the amount of review needed is better tailored to my need so I don’t need to do that.
