I was wondering if, in the iOS app, a list could be built of all the words that have been scored incorrect. This list would be purely for studying from, and would not affect the score.
Suggest a few options to 'clear'' the list:
1) Manual Clear (ie. just keep adding to the list until user clears it by pressing a button)
2) Auto clear if words were last reviewed more than X hours ago (ie. 24 hours)
3) Clear word if user gets it right while reviewing the list.
For reviewing the list (kind of like scratchpad) it would be nice to have one or more of the following modes:
1) Loop continuously, but remove correct words. Stop when all words are correct (because they're all removed)
2) Loop continuously until stopped.
3) Run once through the list. User could run through it again if they want.
The reason I request this is for efficiency of study:
Assume, for example, that I have 200 characters to review, and I don't know 20 of them. I spend 10 seconds per word I know, and 5 minutes studying a word I don't know. Reviewing the 180 characters I know, at 10 seconds each, requires half an hour. Studying the characters I don't know would take me 1 hour 40 minutes. Also assume I only have one hour per day to review.
Scenario 1: Now if I pause at a character I don't know while doing a normal Skritter session to spemd time studying it, there's no way I'll get theough the whole list and the list will pile up day after day. This happened to me last week, and I got up to 900 reviews due (I partially ended up clearing it by just marking wrong what I don't know and not studying the wrong ones anymore).
Scenario 2: On the other hand if I could burn through the reviews, knowing I could more thoroughly study the characters I don't know later on, I could clear my queue much easier, properly recalling the other words at the designated SRS interval. Even if I didn't have time to review all the characters I got wrong that day I'm a lot better off than I was in Scenario #1.
Thoughts?
