Question one: As a test I imported 5 blank flashcards and did not review them I
simply chose '2' rating for each one. My question is how come mnemosyne sets
some cards to be reviewed 'tomorrow', and other cards to be reviewed in 'two
days' when they were given the same exact rating?
There is some randomness involved in the schedule, to get a better spread.
Question two: Is there a feature that would allow me to go to the next day? One
of the reasons I dislike most programs out there, is that it seems (from
reading documentation) that they consider 'days' to be the factor of when the
next time of review should be. That seems kind of clunky. If I go on vacation
for a week I don't want to come back to a program that decided to combine all
the cards from the week I missed in one session. Instead of 'days' I would
rather look at each time I open the program as 'sessions' So instead of in two
days, i can wait two sessions however long that may be, whether it's two hours
apart of two months. Is this a feature in Mnemosyne? (Is this a feature
anywhere?)
If you've finished your scheduled reviews for the day, you get an option
to learn ahead of schedule. It's not recommended to do this too often,
though.
Don't worry too much about catching up after a holiday, Mnemosyne will
automatically schedule the most urgent cards first.
> Question three: If each 'day/session' i were to rate a card a '2'
would I expect to see this card every two days for the rest of my life
or will it add exponentially? (ex. Each comma represents a 'session':
every two days: +2, +2, +2, +2, +2 vs exponential +2, +3, +4, +5) If it
is the former how does it calculate a '5' rating?
It will go exponentially, see

It's generally considered that this algorithm is more efficient than
Leitner.
