This new medium bakes in the ideas of spaced-repetition testing, and - we hope and believe! - will make it almost effortless to remember what you read for the long term.

There's no code or anything to confirm. You should be all set!

Got it. Just went through the first review.
I had big problems by misclicking/mistapping on whether i remembered the answer or not. And I could not go back to the previous question to correct my feedback.
Undo functionality/Review set again would help from UX perspective.

Thanks, that’s good to know. Can you say more about the mistapping? Was it that you weren’t trying to tap on anything—just adjusting your grip, say—yet a review was triggered? Or that you accidentally tapped ✅ when you meant ❎?

On mobile screen it was the former - dint mean to tap anything but triggered a review. Usually triggered while trying to scroll up to read the question after tapping the feedback for previous question.
The latter (wrong selection of tick or cross) happened often on desktop.

That's very helpful, thank you. You mentioned "scroll up," which surprises me a little: the review sessions shouldn't involve any scrolling. Could you let us know what kind of device you were reviewing on?

I meant scrolling while going through the essay. Sorry - my bad.
So the card would be obscured by the browser controls depending on which direction i am scrolling in. Attaching screenshots - let me know if it helps.
The review session i did on desktop only so far.

Gotcha! We’ll definitely need an undo function, but hopefully we can fix the underlying issue so you’re never having to undo. :)

👍🏽 thanks for your response.
Would love to have the option retry a review set - coz sometimes i feel like doing the set again immediately after finishing it.

Thanks for passing that along. When you find yourself wanting to repeat a review session, what’s going through your head? Are you feeling a particular way?
Yes. Its when i missed something (as in did not remember) and want to retry the whole set just to make sure i can remember all those things. For example remembering the matrices of X,Y,Z,H is hard. Even after few mins. So repeating a set (immediately) helps .

Thank you! You mention that you want to retry the whole set for that reason. How would you feel if we finished review sessions by re-asking you only the questions you missed? Is there a reason you feel you need to redo the whole set, beyond just the ones you missed?
