Hi all, I'm curious as to how many items I should add at a time when using SM. I spent a few hours over the past few days adding about 350 vocabulary words....
That's the norm. If you check your Workload Calendar (ctrl + w), you'll see that those vocabulary words will come rolling in very soon. Be careful! When you...
Thanks for the quick response, David. I'm not sure I understood exactly what you meant by "those vocabulary words will come rolling in very soon." Could you ...
In a nutshell here's how it works. 1. You enter an item into SM 2. SM schedules the item for that day's final drill 3. SM calculates the initial A-Factor for...
Thanks again for the help! I have yet another question. (Big surprise there!) This is directed to everyone, really. I'm sure the question has come up before. ...
You need to be careful with volume. Give your self a good amount so you feel you are making progress. DO NOT give yourself so much that you are frustrated. ...
So would you say 20-25 words a day is too much? I can probably use SuperMemo for half an hour - 45 minutes per day. I did it with Pauker for weeks. :) ...
... SuperMemo for half an hour - 45 minutes per day. I did it with Pauker for weeks. :) ____ One tip, the most important thing about using SM - for each item...
... My opinion is conservative - thus a vote for a standard approach you outlined above. But.... everybody is learning different way (eg. some people can...
Wow, thanks. I can't believe I've used SM this long and missed that tool. One thing I find confusing though. If I change the forgetting index from 10% to 5%,...
Yes, I agree. It's very hard work but very effective. I think it's the difference between active and passive memory. Long-term, an active and passive approach...
I get the opposite retults. settings are 'learn new items' 200 repetitions per day plan forgetting index 5% total items learned 101 461, repetitions...
Well, after my outburst of frustration a few days ago (for which I apologize, by the way), I think I've caught the SuperMemo addiction. The more I read about ...
... Yes, I went thru the same but now am hooked. It took me a few months however of trying other programs. ... I dont like to put my learning together. I had...
It's a complex program, easy to get frustrated. On the Supermemo world site you can buy ready made collections. The collection comes to you as one file with a...
Recently after discussions on this forum, I became very curious about effectiveness of learning algorithms and programs. I bet I am not the only one, who would...
First a suggestion for a shortcut - You should contact SM themselves to see if you can get the data they've collected. I believe they have a lot of it. Here's...
... They have the results of their surveys out. But knowing how the surveys go - everybody will fill in what he/she THINKS the data are, not necessarily the...

... Are you really talking about "learning" algorithms? I don't see SuperMemo as a learning but rather a "remembering" program and in that area it would be ...
I too think of SM as a "remembering" program and have found it invaluable in that regard. In fact (if I may diverge in praise of SM for a moment) just ten...
Thanks to everybody who responded so far. I will not have time until next week to go on the internet and respond, so will just quickly post this: I will do the...
No I am not interested in testing. I think PR is right that SM is the most functional. But as to a magic algorithm, I don't even believe it. Increased...

Congratulations on your memorization of those 9 chapters (more?). That's quite an accomplishment. My ideas on initial learning: When learning new material you...
No earth-shattering new approach :) I was referring to the mistakes I've made that I've mention here before. I've tried to learn from them and am starting ...
