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 :)
I forgot to say, that the rest of Luke has mostly very low progress percentages or has never been added.
I want to *emphasize*, this is a three to five year project. I hope if the Lord wills, to give you a report every month regarding my progress on this, for the next three to five years.
To FinalAsgard, I'm using a method in which I create a passage of 5, 10, or 15 verses, whatever is suitable, and then keep practicing that passage over and over until I can almost do it perfectly. Then I move on to the next passage. I keep doing that all day until I reach my daily point goal of 114,300 (my weekly goal is 800,000). After each passage, I evaluate it in a Google Spreadsheet and assign for myself the appropriate next reviewal time of that passage. Then every day I begin either with the next passage in sequence, or I begin with the assigned passages for that day. So, no, I don't feel like I'm taking on too much. It's not all meant to be done in one day. I originally said a three year project, but I should have said 3-5 year project. It is a 3-5 year project and today is Day 2. *************** Dear All, to anyone who is interested: So, as I wrote in a comment on the Moviegoer's activity, I've decided to begin my own journey in the Gospel of Luke. In some ways it will be similar to what the Moviegoer has been doing in Mark. First, I want to hasten to say that I will write these "reports" only one time per month. It will be helpful to me to be accountable to all of you as to how I am progressing with it. But at the same time, I don't plan to add this topic to the newsfeed any more often than once per month. TheMoviegoer has a daily point goal of 142,000, to reach one million weekly. I admire that, but felt it was a little too high to be realistic for me, so I set my own goal at 114,300, or about 800,000 per week. I made this decision about 24 hours ago, and I began of course with Luke 1. I had already worked a lot on Luke 1, but it was years ago. So my report on Luke 1 is as follows: 53 out of 80 are already fully learned, and the rest have a progress percentage in the 80s or higher. Then I moved on to Luke 2: none are fully learned, but there are 20 verses in the 90% progress range. At the moment I'm working on Luke 3, using the method I described to FinalAsgard above. I'm also working on stopping learning on all of my other verses which are not in Luke, except for one verse from the Psalms which I will add each day to attempt a Consistent Learner's badge. This will help me to keep to this more central Luke project. I want to thank Moviegoer and FinalAsgard for inspiring and motivating me to do this by their own actions and examples :) If anyone feels I'm imitating Moviegoer, I am! and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery they say. But more importantly I believe it's the God focused thing I am to do now, and it's very important for me to do this publicly and make myself accountable.
Going for 2 chapters at once? :D That first one alone will take you a while... 80 verses... that's just slightly smaller than the entire book of James (105 verses)

Some of what you wrote Moviegoer, really made me think. I like your method of 142,000 points per day, using that as a measuring stick. Um, NOT that I'm interested in the points, ok? points are most certainly not a measuring rod for spirituality. It's that I like the PRACTICAL aspect of that method: having a specific daily goal for repetition. I don't anymore use the learnscripture review algorithm, because when the intervals reach six to nine months, I forget in a major way maybe 10 percent of the verses, and voila, verse mistake purgatory.
SO: I've had Luke in the back of my mind ever since I joined this site back in 2015. But I was also always put off by the thought that it's too long, and would take too long to complete. So, this is the first day of a three-year-project.
I hope and pray that I'm a man of my word. Let your yes be yes and your no be no. I've failed many times on that angle.
A caveat, I've already worked on portions of Luke, but most of it is either in the low percentages or never added.
We'll see how it goes. Will I still be alive in three years? Will Jesus have returned? In any case I hope to make the best of each of my days while it is still called today.
Hi treeswallow. You posted a question about something typed incorrectly. For that you'd need to contact Luke, the website owner. https://learnscripture.net/contact/
