I am right in line with Onfire247's method. Also, congrats on 25 million!
So, I start with sections of a chapter. For example, Mark 12-1 The Parable of the Tenants Mark 12-2 Paying Taxes to Caesar ...
Once I complete the last section at 25%, I create the following Complete - Mark 12
I work on the sections in order and repeat later sections more until I bring them all up to about the same percentage, then I move to going over the Complete chapter.
But working on sections at a time really helps, and I can't imagine how I was doing it before.
Haha, Symota. I don't remember how the algorithm works, but based on my progress from 0% -99% and the progress from 99%-100%, there is clearly a built in time element.
I hope so. That percentage needle moves so slowly as you approach 100%. I do love the way the site works, though. I think I would have considered my knowledge 100% a lot sooner and perhaps regressed as a result.
Haha, I wondered if it would ever happen. Some verses have been hovering at 99% for oh so long. But, I am glad to see it happen. Thanks PeterP and Joosep!

OK... so i did an experiment last year. On Jan 1st 2021, I started two verses. One verse i always choose the default timing, the other verse I always choose "See Sooner" I used verses that i already knew so errors would not be a variable. I know some of you are modern spreadsheet folk, but i am old and love rulers and graph paper. I kept track of the date - %increase- testing interval- running tally. The verse using the default timing tested 20 times and ended on Jan 4 2022. The verse that i always selected see sooner, I tested 30 times and finished on Jan 22, 2022. cool experiment. My hypothesis was that seeing sooner meant ending sooner.... NOPE! I now have a chart that i can reference to give me a hint on where i am in the process.
Great to get there. Well done. And I love the info from your test. Good to know. I always thought it would add a lot more time on to the process. Encouraging to know it was only 18 days. I think that may be better for me. But I’m snowed under with verses just now anyway so maybe later when I don’t have such a queue. 😂
Thanks, everyone! JDJDJD, I am being blessed, and what I most enjoy about this effort and process is that it leads to so much, study, thought, and reflection... which nurtures my relationship with Jesus. There are so many things you miss when you breeze through scripture or simply relay on what you remember from church and Sunday School. For example, in the famous, "which is the most important commandment" discussion, I totally could have told you that the answer is to love God with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself (paraphrase). But both Jesus and the scribe who summarizes his answer both emphasize God's uniqueness and singular authority. Jesus says, "The most important is, 'Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One." And the scribe summarizes, "You are right, teacher. You have truly said that he is one and that there is no other besides him." I don't remember this from any other study, and yet it is clear in the passage. I don't know the scope of what this means, but I enjoy learning about it and meditating on it.
this represents endurance and commitment to learning the Word of God. May the Lord's Blessing flow out from you and produce a harvest beyond your dreams!!!

Amen! I couldn’t have said that better 👍 I love the thought and reflection and meditation on things I would otherwise have missed, and how it all that nurtures my relationship with The Lord Jesus.
