Once you have relearnt it, the new interval of the card needs to be decided. forget a card), you start re-learning that card. The second thing you will find in the lapses tab is the New Interval. You don’t need to understand everything all at once. Go down to the section where I discuss the best Anki settings and just copy the numbers that I suggest. This is a bit complicated, so don’t worry too much about it if you are just starting with Anki. The whole point of this option is to tell Anki how well you want to relearn a card once you have forgotten it. It keeps decreasing until you reach 130% (where you multiply the intervals by 1.3). If it happens again, it will decrease another 20%. However, once you “lapse”, this decreases to 230%.

Then the next time you press “good” you see it in 2 days. If you select “good” the first time you see a card, you will see it in 1 day. This means: 1 hour, 1 day, 2 days, 4 days Well, in this box you write down the intervals (represented as arrows on the image) that you want to see the card while in the learning phase (I will explain the learning phase below). So what does this have to do with the steps setting option? You can see that the interval between these reviews increases each time. For example, you might see a card on 1st Jan, then 3rd, 10th and 30th.


You see the card at increasing intervals. It may seem a bit abstract but if you can understand this then you will be able to understand anything in this article.Įach circle represents when you review a card.
