Congrats!

Thanks, onfire247! Slowly but surely. 90 verses and still chapter 1 eludes me. Honestly, I feel like chapters are more of a milestone over number of verses. But it is nice to see the number increasing.

yeah, some chapters are way too big. I'm looking at you, Psalm 119! That's going to be like a 6 month project to tackle memorizing. My largest chapter so far is John 1, 51 verses.

Keep up the great work!

Congratulations!

FinalAsgard, I am working my way through the Gospel of Mark, and I am just finishing up Chapter 14 (72 verses) and it is very difficult. In many ways, it is probably easier than something like Psalm 119 because it is narrative story telling, but it is still a challenge. Right now, Ch 1-6 are rock solid. Ch 7-8 are pretty good, Ch 9-14 are in my head, but more prompting is needed.

Very nice. I created a binder for my review schedule, so that I keep reviewing things more often than this site has me do it, and then it tapers off to weekly/monthly/quarterly, and ultimately in the end I'll have an annual review of things just so I don't forget them. That in addition to this site have been really good tools for helping me. I'm currently working through Philippians, and then will be going back to work on a few more chapters of John.

Excellent. I do try and keep track of my work, but I can't seem to crack the way to increase percentage. Volume doesn't do it. I have been going over and over some verses I have lost percentage on, and it is slow going. Plus, it is frustrating to have one mistake drop you 20% and then four times the work after that only recovers 5%.

Having said all of that, I really can't complain. I have really benefited from the memorization and the management through this site.

I found that the intervals of the final 30% are too large to be of any practical benefit, so now any verse that reaches 50-70%, I reset so it doesn't disappear into the long review periods.
I figured out early on that I don't need a computer to tell me if I have 'fully learned' something, and it's better to have more control over what verses I want to review.

Congratulations, TheMoviegoer!!!! Keep up the good work!

Woohoo. Next stop 100! You’ll be there before you know it 😀

Saintman, I think you have many valid points. Also, once you reach 100%, you are always prompted to repeat the verse on review, which becomes very tedious when you are covering chapters. The greatest point, however, is that these percentages and such are arbitrary and not real reflectors of your knowledge. The only problem is I am OCD about it, and I want to get 100%.

Thanks, Jappel and JDJDJD! I appreciate the encouragement!
