I only manage to clear the backlog every couple of months. Like Xicama, I'm adding one new verse per day, and averaging about 30-35 verses of revision. So often a chapter has to wait until I have time to revise it all. And my rate of completing verses is well less than one per day, so the backlog is always growing...
Thank you all for the encouragement. I've established a daily routine now - start one new verse each day with the early morning cup of tea. The long list of review verses has to wait till later in the day, and I hardly ever clear the backlog completely.

Yes, I'm learning Joshua 1 too, one verse per day. I love the way God repeats "be strong and courageous" three times - obviously he knew that Joshua, and we too, would have trouble getting it, if he just said it once!
Congratulations! Yes, you are so right about the site. It got me to be more dedicated to the Word, though I have still a long way to go regarding consistency.
Done! But I had a head start, because I learnt the first 7 verses last year sometime. It's a great end to the Bible, and I look forward to being there. Come, Lord Jesus!
Actually, God abolishes darkness in Rev 22, doesn't he? In Gen 1 there was darkness until God created light, then God separated the light from the darkness. In John 1, the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not overcome it. And in Rev 22 the darkness is removed, night is no more, and God himself is our light. I agree with you - nice!
Dec 1st. Having enjoyed Matthew 6 and 7 the last two months, I've decided to come back to the schedule here for Revelation 22. It seems a fitting end to the year.
This is from the Navigators Topical Memory System, which I learnt (sort of) when at university over 30 years ago. I added verse sets here for the other TMS sets, if you're interested. Search for 'topical'.
That's happened to me too. I think it's when you get less than 90% when you're retested on a verse you already finished. e.g. when you review a whole chapter, if you don't remember a verse so well, it goes back to the four-and-half star state, and you have to finish it a second time a few weeks later.
