The status bar would show something like this:

Scheduled: 80; late cards: 220; unlearned: 30

You can know how behind you are.

My point is, for example, let's say I review 80 cards, and I forget 8 of
them giving a grade of 1. I would rather go through those 8 cards I forgot
than to keep reviewing the other ones.

That's because if I have 2000 to review, at the end I'll have about 200
grade 1 cards.

Regards,

Frank
