Thanks Sixteeneleven, and PeterP, as my dad used to say, "the best method is the one that you use." He said that about translations as well.

Thanks, joosep and JDJD! BTW, joosep, I use hints very rarely. There are times when I do, but I really try to avoid them. I use the opportunity of getting it wrong to reinforce the correct response.

Also, sometimes you get an error on the last word and you can't correct it. I don't worry about it, but my goal is to get it right.

As for adopting my method, I can say that I have tweaked it here and there, and I am happy with this method. Let me know how you are doing and how it is going.... and if you like it. Also, I can send you my excel spreadsheet if you want.

Great questions. Repeat and review always involve typing for me, and I use the first letter method. Additionally, if I make an error mid-verse, I toggle the "Test instead of read" button and start the verse fresh until I get a perfect entry. It is tedious because most of my errors at some point are just typing errors not memory errors. Finally, I did the full word method a few months ago for a while. It really impacts how much you can go through, but I didn't feel like it did any more for my reinforcement.

I use a spreadsheet. For Hebrews (I tried a different strategy for I & II Peter).

For Hebrews I started with a block of 4 verses. I would repeat/review 10 times a day for a week. At the beginning of the next week, review the first block once AND then tackle the next 3-5 verse block 10 times a day for a week. When I get to the end of a chapter and have reviewed the last block for a week, I create a chapter block which I review once a day, along with the new block.

So, Hebrews right now goes:
Complete - Hebrews 1 Review (1 time)
Hebrews 2-1 vs 1-4 (1 time)
Hebrews 2-2 vs 5-9 (1 time)
Hebrews 2-3 vs 10-13 (1 time)
Hebrews 2-4 vs 14-18 (10 times)

On monday, all of that will change to:
Complete - Hebrews 1 Review (1 time)
Complete - Hebrews 2 Review (1 time)
Hebrews 3-1 vs 1-4 (10 times)

Once I get another chapter or so, I will no longer review every chapter each day, but I will put them in rotation, so that I do Hebrews 1 on Monday, Hebrews 2 on Tuesday, etc.

This is currently what I do with Mark, and I & II Peter. Today is II Peter 3, I Peter 2, Mark 11, for example.

And I definitely have a spreadsheet. It has points on it. I used to average 140k points a day when I was going through Mark, and I found that unsustainable. So, I have reduced my goal to 50k a day, but I am eclipsing that at my current rate. That is why I have instituted a method of just doing 1 chapter a day of the books I have completed in rotation.
