Awesome job!

Incredible, well done.

Terrific accomplishment, Luli2016, congratulations! 👏🏽 💥

ahhhh... glorious number 7! Rejoicing with you on this milestone.

Fantastic Luli. Congratulations 👏🎉

That's quite a special mark you've reached.

Bravo, Luli! Bravo!

I would like to thank everyone for your kind wishes!
While the 700 verses memorised may seem like a great achievement, it’s not so when compared with the ‘to-do-list’ on the learning list.
On the other hand, I have selected ‘review sooner’ for most of the verses rather than ‘fully learnt’ in order to consolidate mental retention, hopefully 🙈!
As a result, I won’t be surprised if the 700 goes on a see-saw adventure.
Thank you once again!

I understand your thinking perfectly, Luli :)

I just wanted to say, that a few years ago I too had that "see saw" situation. I had reached 300 verses fully learnt, but kept reviewing the ones fully learnt. There were maybe 5 or 6 times when I came up on the news feed that I had reached the number 300, and each time several people congratulated me. That was very kind of them, of course.

Then I decided to reset everything and start again ... something I wish now I had not done. (But all this reflects my own personal thinking, and is NOT intended to tell or not tell anyone what to do in their own case)

Fast forward to the present, my own intention now is to leave everything Fully Learnt as Fully Learnt, and to not review them anymore, so that I can bit by bit move on to other areas of the Bible which I want to incorporate here.

But I also think I totally understand you, (to Luli2016), in that you dearly want to keep those fully learnt as truly being just that, fully learnt!

So we will all rejoice with you in your see-saw adventure. As long as you are day by day growing in your knowledge and love of Him, it is all for the good! Praise God, He is so good, and I feel His kindness and goodness toward us all as I write this. Amen.

Amen Joosep.

So I have a question. When you finish your verse, you get a popup asking you to stop seeing it or see it again in a year, right? How does the seesaw occur then? Are you guys saying that if you choose the one year option, it does not count the verse as finished? Perhaps I am unclear on what buttons you see when you finish a verse, and what the consequences are for hitting said buttons.

To Onfire, it's not a popup, it's one of three buttons on the lower right: Practice, See in 12 months, or Fully Learnt. If you press See in 12 months the verse could then when you review it regress and then becomes unlearnt, and thus, the "seesaw".

I meant to say, when the verse reaches 100 percent progress, you then have those three options on the lower right.

In addition, if a person clicks "Test instead of read" then that "Fully Learnt" verse will be presented to you again for review, perhaps long before the 12 months are up. That's also how verses could become "unlearnt".

Thank you joosep for your encouraging and commendable wishes. The main focus remains to meditate and grow in the knowledge and appreciation of God's Word continually.
I don't anyone thinking I'm a genius as such nor get confused whenever a certain figure appears on the news feed repeatedly.

So if I'm understanding correctly, if you select the see again in 12 months option, and then twelve months later get below the 85% threshold, you will lose your fully learned status? But if you get it above the 85% after a year, it stays learned? And the same is true of the test again? In other words, the only danger of seesaw is if you fail the next test under either method?

It isn't always 12 months later. If you review the whole passage and then click "Test instead of read", then you will be tested on that fully learnt verse -- perhaps much earlier than that 12 months. If your score is low enough, you'll be penalized, and it won't be fully learnt anymore. I'm not aware of 85% being the key percentage -- it's the first I've heard of that.

Part of the issue here is that (I at least) don't always evaluate everything going on in terms of percentages, what threshhold is necessary to keep something fully learnt etc., every time I test a fully learnt verse. Actually, as I said, I don't test on fully learnt verses anymore -- I simply review what is due. My own "see saw" experience took place about three years ago. I reached 300. Some fully learnt verses came due, I tested on them, failed, but then some others at 95-99% came up for review, I tested, got a good score, and then went back up above 300 again. That happened several times because I had many verses spread out over a period of about 3 years.

I hope that helps somewhat. It'll be much clearer to you once you experience it. You signed up on 20 August, so sometime this fall all this will become much clearer to you :) I don't pretend to be any expert -- but as I said, now I just leave them fully learnt, because I want to move on to other parts of the Bible.

To onfire247, that's exactly what happens .
What I called seesaw effect is dependent on that review performance. Understandably, verses like John 3:16 or John 10:10 are less likely to be endanger the overall percentage but when reviewing whole chapters is a little more risky.
I hope I have provided somewhat a clear explanation.

Thanks for the clarification guys. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with my verses yet. Some of them I am ready to stop seeing ha! I think my closest is at 95% with an interval of 5 months. I think I'm a month or two into it, so I guess I don't have to decide anytime soon. Regarding the 85% threshold, that is the lowest percentage I have been able to get without it triggering a practice or loss of progress. I'm not sure if that is the actual threshold, however, just what I've observed.

Thank you for clarifying what you meant by 85%, onfire

Onfire, for a fully-learnt verse, when you review it, the accuracy threshold required to keep it fully-learnt is about 90%. Anything lower than that will make it ‘unlearnt’ again. When you review any verse, the threshold for deciding progress - up or down - is relative to the current % learnt for that verse, I believe.
