Thanks for the reply Peter. I thought mnemosyne probably would do that, but the few cards I have tried don't seem to be behaving correctly.
I just did another quick test on a card whose statistics stated -144 days until next repetition. I presume that means it has been 144 days since I was supposed to study it. It was a grade 2 card with a 2.98 difficulty factor. Turns out I remembered it fairly easily and marked it a 3 to be safe. I then looked it up in the database and checked it's statistics again. However it says that days until next test = 5 ! Ok here's another card: Grade: 4 Easiness: 2.88 Repetitions: 9 Lapses: 1 Days since last repetition: 145 Days until next repetition: -144 I remembered this one easily (?!) and marked it a 4. Its statistics are now saying next repetition in 6 days... (Did one more with similar stats and marked it a 5 to see if that made any difference, it has come up with 5 days until next rep) I'm thinking that these were cards that I had remembered well initially and had one lapse. I then repeated them again once 145 days or so ago, and this is only the second repetition in the "new" cycle as it were. Maybe for the first few repetitions the algorithm overides that huge gap? I was hoping that if I wade through the many thousands of card repetitions awaiting me that at least the ones I remember wouldn't be coming up again for a very long time... I was learning cards on a very intensive schedule before and if I manage the herculean effort of going over all my cards again, I really don't want them to be coming up at exactly the same pace as they were before, that wouldn't make sense and would make my task impossible. The other option I was thinking of was to just hold the space bar down with a mug for 10 minutes or so and let autorepeat mark all of the cards as a 4. Hopefully they would be nice and spread out then and not just turn up as 7000 repetitions to do on a random day in a couple of weeks time?! Then I can keep to the mnemosyne schedule again and add a few new cards to keep it interesting and just relearn the forgotten cards as I come to them at a sensible pace... Has anyone else stopped using mnemosyne for a significant time and tried to go back to an old deck? Any tips or strategies how to get back in the groove again? I just activated all the categories, and I am facing 10,776 repetitions today!! M.
