Lessons and Reviews Settings

Preferred Lesson Batch Size: The default number is 5 lessons (individual items) before a quiz. If you want to learn more or less radicals, kanji, or vocabulary before the quiz, you can adjust this anywhere from 3 to 10 lessons.

Maximum Recommended Daily Lessons: Set the maximum number of “Today’s Lessons” you will get per day. The maximum value is 100 and the minimum is 0.

SRS Update Indicator During Reviews: During the review session the SRS change indicator will appear for items completed.

Review Ordering: The default for this is “Shuffled”, which means that all reviews appear in random order. You can also choose “Lower levels first”, which is still random but prioritizes showing lower level subjects first.
