I look at my progress statistics and becase there are so many of them I can't really tell what was my progress today. Is there a place I can get good explanation about it? Thanks

i have the same problem.

what for instance is the meaning of "character definitions learned" and "character writings learned". the first one is at the moment one third of the latter in my count.
how can that be?

@shlomo, if you click on the "Today" button in h progress page, it will show your stats for today.

@learninglife j.h. Do you have auto-add on? And what are your retention rates for definition and writing tests? From my observation, With auto-add on, the type of test with lower retention will get less new characters.

@ lechuan thanks for the toughts. but how would i set the retention rate for independently for the different areas?

Sorry, I did not word that very well. There's only one target retention rate. But if you are worst at one type of test, you will get new characters more slowly in order to meet the target retention rate in that test type.

The problem is not with "today". The problem is understanding your progress overall.

What is learned VS studied? What is the retention rate for each of them? Is higher retention rate is better? How is it calulated. I think putting small "?" near eahc of these would help understanding that.

learned is what is graded as "correct" =
what you memorize in your brain.

studied is what you have done on skritter
that day.
