Hi. If one gets a question (testing a certain word/grammar point/kanji) correct a defined number of times is that word/grammar point/kanji then considered mastered? And if so, how many times does it need to be correct? Thanks if someone can explain this. Also, I'm sorry if this has been answered elsewhere.
Each study vector attached to a term can go from level 1 (0%, or no mastery) to level 9 (100%, full mastery). Studied normally, that means it would need to be answered correctly 8 times in a row, with the appropriate amount of spacing between each question.
If you dive into the settings (menu in the top left, then the settings icon) and search for "mastery", you should be able to find the spacings used for the levels.
Thanks Michael for your helpful reply. Another thing, with kanji, do I have to be across the kunyomi and onyomi readings to achieve mastery? Or is consistently being correct justfor meaning enough to "master" a kanji (I mean in renshuu obviously)? Also, if I only ever do multiple choice tests for kanji, will I still "master" the kanji one day?
Mastery is measured against each of the individual vectors and an overall weighted mastery level is calculated as well.
If you got to the kanji dictionary, under the stroke order window for the kanji, you can see the mastery levels e.g.
So your master level only goes up for the vectors that you do. But on a schedule your overall mastery is based on the vectors for that schedule.
So, if you had a schedule with only the definition vector turned on you would eventually reach 100% mastery for the definition vector, and the schedule would show 100% overall mastery, but if you looked at the kanji in the dictionary it would still have 0% for stroke counts since you didn't study that vector.
The style of question, e.g. multiple choice vs. fill in the blanks, etc. does not have any impact.
That's very interesting. Also thanks for that detailed reply. I'm definitely going to check this out in the kanji dictionary. (Probably going to see a column of mostly 0%'s lol.)
