1. Review Progress Review

The body of the window is a calendar, and the three-digit number on the date indicates the amount of review for the day. As of August 13, "275" means that there are 275 pages on the day (a page is a memory) need to review.

For the new person, the main look at the "next review" the data can be, for the veteran, may look at the "interval", "score" and other parameters; Some professional children's shoes, you can analyze the A-factor and U-factor.

For the "Curriculum" and "page information", the previous item is more helpful to the user, because it can intuitively grasp the amount of daily review, in addition, the " curriculum" can also be used to set a few days to "pause learning " so that the program will be the planned review arrangements to move backward- This effect is not as good as the original plan, but it is better to cut the review content directly.

2, the SuperMemo rating standard

Recommended 5 Grade Rating criteria:

5–excellent–excellent response; Correct answer given without hesitation
You can not hesitate to give the right answer.
4–good–correct response given after some consideration
Think about it a little bit before giving the right answer.
3–fair–response recalled with difficulty, perhaps slightly incorrect
Recall is particularly difficult, not sure the meaning is right, but finally blindfolded. (fair literally means "general", but is willing to still feel translated as "Mongolian pair" more vivid. ）
2–marginal–incorrect response which makes you say:i knew it!
Not sure right, the final mistake, but you see the right answer later found, "Oh, this ah, I know." (The word "marginal" is more appropriate, but willing to be often translated as "wrong")
1–poor–wrong response in the situation when the correct one still seemed somewhat familiar
Give the wrong answer, and the right answer is just a bit familiar, basically not the same as the impression.
0–null–complete Blackout; You even does not recall ever knowing the answer
It's completely out of the question, let alone give the right answer.

Some levels of differentiation and selection strategies

Level 5 and Level 4 are sure that the answer is correct when you see the problem, and that the difference is only at the speed of the reaction. The 4 standard is that you know that the answer you think of is 100% correct, just spend a bit longer, and the difference between it and 5 is here. 5 is immediately can be reflected, the slightest jam, and 4 some jam, a little bit of a moment, as to how long this time, there is no clear standard, do not need to formulate this standard.

Level 3 (not including level 3) is the material you are already mastering, 3 levels (3 levels) below are those you have not mastered.

3 and 2, there is a clear criterion, and that is the word you know what it means, usually a, B, C, d a few possible, either a, or B, or C and D ... But you can't tell yourself for sure that it's A, B, C, D. At this time you are blind, blindfolded, is 3, the wrong is 2.

The difference between 1 and 2:2 at least you can mask, that is, the answer is usually in the thought of A, B, C, D (and maybe EFG ...). In this range, it's just that you're not sure which one it is, 1 is not even the ABCD option, just the answer "looks familiar".

The difference between 1 and 0, 0 is the kind of word that is completely not impressed, 1 at least you look familiar, that is, "seems to have seen" that feeling. In SuperMemo's study, 0 and 1 are the ones that give you the most headaches, but once you conquer them, you get a sense of accomplishment.

SuperMemo is like a sieve, and when it filters out 5-and 4-level materials, the rest is what we want to focus on. SuperMemo will put these things in the consolidation practice.

Willing to usually do the following treatment:

1. Be serious about consolidating every piece of material in the practice sequence, scoring with the following principles:

1) Recall the answer, as long as doubt answer, on a rate to answer "do not know";

2) Only Choose "Know" if you are sure that the answer you recall is 100% correct.

2. When a piece of material more than 3 times has not been (in accordance with the above criteria, three times "do not Know"), at this time should take some measures. The common measures to be willing are:

1) Add notes by Ctrl+h and add some mnemonic text. Take the back word as an example, willing to choose a close or close to the maturity of the word, and then with a strange association of ripe words and new words;

2) Edit the course directly and add a picture;

3) Use some other memory techniques;

Usually after adding a note, the impression on the material will be greatly deepened, the day's consolidation exercise is very easy to pass. Not only that, but the next time you come across this material, you'll be more likely to think back.

3. Think carefully about how to master the hard-to-remember material you encounter. You can think of it as an important customer you just met today, the consequences of calling the wrong customer name are serious, so you must remember the name of the customer today. There's always a way to deal with this kind of task, right? In the consolidation exercise you do not need to think too much, the goal is only one, is to consolidate the contents of the exercise in today's memory. As for the future, be assured to supermemo it.

When willing to start in the consolidation exercise to use such a method, willing to find that the original to spend several times to conquer the material, often after a few rounds of review, you can reach or close to the degree of mastery. There would have been a lot of material to be willing to suffer setbacks, because the score is always "as usual" 0 points or 1 points. But now is not the same, every review, will be confident, because, most of the material will be "temporarily overcome", although the "temporary", but in the SuperMemo of the effective review mechanism, this difficult to remember the grading of materials will quickly rise. In the past, the face of new material frightened head gradually fade, and once again successful experience let willing to know, the first time remember no matter, I always have a way to fix it. And this is the positive effect of the right approach.

3, the page reset and exclusion

Resetting is to let the page "start from scratch". Change it from the "learned" state back to "not learned" state, or from the "excluded" state back to "not learned" status. The reset operation removes the review history for this page.

This feature is primarily used to re-"recall" pages that have been excluded. In addition, we can also use this function to reset the review progress when there are multiple errors on a page. But willing to think, although occasionally one or two times the error will inevitably have a review effect a little influence, but for a page dozens of times of review, this one or two times the impact of the score is not big.

Exclusion: Especially familiar with the word has no need to remember, it from the learning process to remove, this function is called exclusion.

Excluded effects: The title of this page in the table of contents appears in red, as in Word 4:

4. UX's principle of setting new material quantity

New material learning Number set default value is 10, if not set, then after learning these 10, you will find that either start to review, or transfer to other courses, to start learning the new material of this course, you need to click on the red Line circled "new material", so you can "collar" 10 new materials to learn. This setting has caused a little inconvenience. Therefore, it is necessary to set the number of new materials to learn.

In the SuperMemo UX, the review accounted for a considerable proportion, and the number of daily review is not fixed, because the learning materials are difficult to have easy, your grades are also changing the material (score will directly affect the arrangement of review). Review is a bit like a snowball, the number will roll more and more big. Therefore, it is not appropriate to study how much material is fixed every day, especially when you are too large, and at some point, the total amount of review will be very scary. The suggestion is to arrange the quantity of new material every day according to the total study time. For example, the time you spend on the SuperMemo UX is 40 minutes a day, and the rest of the time spent studying new materials is done with the previous review. This time must be constantly changing, so the number of new materials to study every day should also be changed .

5, the consolidation of the score in the exercise does not affect the progress of learning

Q: Will the ratings in the consolidation exercise (Final drill) affect my study progress?

A: The consolidation exercise, is to review the day score is less than equal to 3 of the page (the score from low to high of 0-5, a total of six levels, three-level score 0, 3, 5). While the scoring in the kung-gu exercise is only a two-level rating, it is actually used only to detect whether the page is still in the consolidation practice Queue , so the two-level score can be considered a "Yes, no" button, "yes" means you have "temporarily" mastered this page, can be removed from the consolidation practice queue, " No "means you have not mastered it and need to be reviewed again until you have mastered it." no matter how you score, it will not affect the future of learning progress.
It is recommended that you take the consolidation exercise seriously, taking the word back as an example, usually into the word that strengthens the practice queue, not the new words or the "scrappy" words that you Kyu. If you can kill it in the consolidation exercise, the probability of being recognized again in the next review after a few days is greater.

6, "Dynamic evaluation" of SuperMemo

Willing to analyze it, can be divided into two levels.

The first level is easier to understand, "dynamic" comes from the interaction between SuperMemo and the user, the closer you give the fact, the more the SuperMemo gives you the more scientific review plan. This is more than a few times as many of the same software as those that forcibly add the curve to the user's head.

The second level is willing to focus on the content, SuperMemo is not the whole of our study. A standard SuperMemo user, the best time to use SuperMemo every day is within one hours. In other words, we will inevitably review the points of knowledge we have learned in supermemo outside of this hour. The next time you use SuperMemo to score the word, you can see the benefits of SuperMemo, as he adjusts the review plan based on your score. In other words, your efforts outside the SuperMemo will also be taken into consideration by SuperMemo.

SuperMemo each page of the learning like in the knowledge point of the test, he only to your previous test results statistics, analysis, and then give a scientific review arrangements. SuperMemo's algorithm only focuses on each of your ratings, and your "extracurricular" (supermemo) study is affecting the next score, but then what? SuperMemo has ample flexibility to take advantage of the energy generated by "extracurricular learning".
