I’ve finished my reviews and lessons for the day.
Is there a way to ask to review again (i.e. in advance of the normal schedule) ?

At the moment you generally wait until the next day to do your reviews
There have been previous discussions about adding an “Extra Study” option as well as a way to see the the ones you got wrong. “Extra Study” under the condition that it doesn’t count toward your reviews.
Both are something we would like to add, but we haven’t given much thought to it. I would be curious how many others would want something like this
AFAIK, there is not. I’d ask why do you want to? This will not be a short post, but I’ve been wanting to write down some thoughts on this topic.
If you want more work - trust me it will come. The number of reviews increases the longer you use the app. So you may have only reviews from the cards with 1d or 2d interval in the first week. I’m 3 months in and have 1,2,4 day + 1,2,4 week interval cards coming in, and I have 100-150 reviews everyday. In that case, I’d say just wait, and enjoy that you don’t need to spend 0.5-1 hour everyday on SRS (yet).
If it’s because you’re afraid you forget the items, I’m kinda torn.
TL;DR such a feature is probably bad for you long term.
That said, I wish there was an option to redo the days lessons.
Yeah the two main “extra study” options I can see us adding for sure:
Both are features I could see myself using, especially the lessons one. We’ve been planning to add both for a while. Not sure when we will get to it, but it is one of our higher priority features to implement.
I would add to these studying “diamond” level items that are out of your reviews.
Still far from here now myself, but it’s the extra study I used to do the most in WK to check if “learned” items were actually learned.
That’s precisely what I thought yesterday after completing day 2 so far. Noted your points about just relaxing and letting the SRS do its magic over time but nevertheless, it does feel a bit strange (for me at least) to be shown something just once and then being told to come back tomorrow. In real life, I might glance at something a couple of times at least before moving on. In the end, I solved the “problem” yesterday by just bringing up the curriculum and seeing what I’d learnt that day.
yeah either of those sound pretty nice.
What is your lesson batch size? I think spending more time between seeing a card and answering it in the lesson can help with this. When I have time, I like to look at the lesson, then come back 15min later and actually answer them. Having a 15min memory challenge is a world of difference vs just like 1-2min.
The vast majority of my cards are characters and vocab. I just use https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/zhongwen-chinese-english/kkmlkkjojmombglmlpbpapmhcaljjkde to scan over them on the front page of the Dashboard.
That’s a good idea for me to lengthen the timing. I’m just on day 3 so far and my lesson batch size is the default of 5. From only these few days’ experience, it seems to be spend a few minutes looking at the batch of 5 lessons and then immediately get tested on it (which is easy as I just looked at it a very short while ago) and then nothing until tomorrow which made me think that I might want to test myself again an hour later or later that evening etc.
How many items do you do a day? you can adjust the lessons per day and the batch size up to 20
I agree with @lorentz “we probably shouldn’t” thoughts, and that same day reviews, very new items and “burned/diamon” level items also would be nice to review (if I get there ).
@jman I was also very bored at the start, but I started doing 20 (the max) new lessons each day, and in some weeks I started getting 100-200 reviews some days - and at that point I didn’t want to do extra bonus reviews I think it’s more of a problem with being very motivated at the start and the fact that the start is not very fun/interesting when you have very few reviews. This could maybe be “solved” by allowing more than 20 new lessons in the X (7-14?) first days. To make it more interesting for beginners, but that’s not a very well thought through suggestion.
Atm I’ve been lazy and doing other stuff and I have 611 reviews And it’s less motivating doing reviews when the task seems so heavy
But I should probably think of it as one piece of the cake at a time
