10) it's also worth noting, that if your set is a public set, the fact that you have begun learning on it will appear on the news screen every time you click "Learn" for that passage. I don't mean when you click review from the review queue, but when you go to the list of sets as I mentioned in point #3 above -- when you click "Learn", that will result in that information appearing on the news feed, if your set is public.
9) <edit> The option, "Test instead of read" will *not* appear in any case when all the verses are ready for review. It will only appear if and when some of them are not ready for review.
1) go to your list of verse sets (I'm using a PC; on my browser, the username appears at the top right and then from that there is a drop down menu. Choose "Verse Sets". 2) Find the set you want to review, click the link; 3) scroll down and click "Learn". 4) Next to the progress percentage for the first verse in the set, top right of the screen, you will see three parallel bars forming a small square. Click on that. 5) Then you'll see some options for your review of that set. One of those is "Test instead of read". Tick that box. Then you can test yourself on each verse in the set, even if it's not due for review.
6) Some folks prefer not to review fully learned verses because if you end up with a low score on the review, it can radically lower the progress percentage. Thus, your fully learned verse will no longer have that status, and perhaps go back to 80, 70, even 50%, depending on how poor your test score is.
7) My own experimentation has shown, that if you test a fully learned verse and your result is at least 90%, then the verse will retain its fully learned status.
8) I hope that's helpful, but I'm sure other folks here will have their own input :)
I believe what you have proposed is quite possible; that is, that there is a kind of bonus added to the progress percentage when you score 100% on the review. Yes, I see that as a possiblity. Thanks for taking the time to analyze that and I'm sure others will have some input than mine.
And yes, the fact that the progress percentages are (as far as we can tell) rounded up or down makes our analysis of the situation a bit trickier to carry out ..
Onfire, I was only trying to say that 1) reviewing a verse "on time", i.e., on the day when the website tells you that it is due, will result in a 5% increase of your progress percentage. 2) but reviewing it early means that you only gain some proportional amount corresponding to how early you are reviewing it, and also proportional to what your review score is.
I'm certainly not an expert, only an observer as I've seen verses reach 100%; but I wasn't observing with precision as I went along. In other words, there's a lot of room for error in what I said.
Quite frankly, I myself am not going to concern myself with it anymore; when and if they reach 100%, then they do, if they don't, they don't. In the meantime, I'll do my best to give ear to what the Lord is saying to me in each passage.
amen. In the interest of transparency, I've been guilty of making it a chore at times in the past. So now I'm trying to relax and just be blessed by the Lord as I go along :) Each little passage is a treasure.
I sympathize with everything you've said here, Moviegoer. The best thing we can do, I think, is to sit back and be blessed by the journey, as you already wrote :)
I believe the problem you're facing -- regarding 98% verses seemingly not wanting to move forward -- has to do with the assigned interval. If you review that verse today and it now has an interval of 9 months, or 270 days, and then you review it again tomorrow, a perfect score will only move you forward by 1/270 of that possible 5% to move forward with a perfect score.
I hope what I said made sense. Normally, the way the review queue and intervals are designed, you review a verse when it's due and if you score 100% you advance the progress percentage by 5%. But if you review it early, you only advance it based on a proportion of how early you are reviewing it as a factor of the total interval of 9 months or whatever.
In my opinion, it would help to if possible, "let go" some of those 98% verses for a while :)
I edited the name of the set, the tail end portion, to simply "Sardis" since, the purpose is memorization, and too much information was given away in the title. This is a little bite of scripture well worth committing to memory!

well done! Can you speak for a bit on how your memorization of Revelation is going? What's your end goal, and how far have you gotten in reaching it?
I decided a while ago that your advice about memorizing Revelation was well placed, and I'm in the process of combining it with what I'm doing with Luke. Luke will continue to be my main focus, Revelation the second.
I'll be interested to hear about your own approach to Revelation, with respect to memorizing it. Are you memorizing all of it, or rather, selected portions?
I want to say, as we've both embarked on a new Scripture "journey" at the same time ... I'm praying for you every day, that each day as you add a verse in James it will enrich you and be used by God the Holy Spirit to mold you more closely into the image of His Son. That experience as I'm sure you know is sometimes painful, but always ultimately joyful. I pray the same for myself as I go through Luke. Thank you Brother.
I'm a retired person, although I still work part-time. I'm just trying to say, on some days I have a lot of free time on my hands. That's one reason I'm able to get done here whatever I can get done. Others have far greater limitations on their time.
You can continue to review verses which are fully learned. To do so, you go to your list of verses, click on the desired link, and click the learn button. Any fully learned verse in the passage will show the full text. But, there is an option to tick off a box which says "test instead of learn", and then you will be able to test all those "fully learned" verses. Then in my own case I would use a spreadsheet having a list of passages to track the next time I want to review that passage. But I'm not engaged in that at the moment, I'm instead in a project where I'm working on the gospel of Luke, and most of those are far from fully learned :)
