I'm not into the algorithm or the memory research, but just by using mnemosyne you'll after a while will get a feeling on how to grade. Here is my 5 cents:
1. Don't be afraid to use high grades when you know it well,, even for the initial grading. If you constantly grade cards low "just in case", you will likely get a big and boring workload later. If you grade a card too high, you'll easily catch up again in my experience if you forget the card. 2. If you forget parts of a card, it is likely that you will not remember it next time if you grade it 2 and greater. So I almost always grade 2 or less if the card is not 100% right and the information is important to remember. 3. If there are parts of a card that you keep forgetting, make a new card which hold that information and delete it in the old one. kl. 00:25:10 UTC+1 fredag 30. november 2012 skrev [email protected] følgende: > > Hello everyone, > > So I have been using Mnemosyne for about 1 1/2 months now.
