This might not relate, but one thing I do is practice writing it over and over again until I know what it is. I also find something (like a line or something) that reminds me of the English letter of it. I don't know if that is easy to understand, but I hope it is. I recommend doing what you feel is best for you learning, like not too many questions and not questions that are too hard. One thing that I have yet to try is practice writing it when you first learn it and then have no multiple choices but write it yet again for the quiz.
I really hope this helped, please ask if you need further clarification!

thanks for sharing! I used to do that a lot when I was studying Japanese and preparing to take exams >< now I don’t have to take any written tests, so I haven’t been memorizing how to write Kanji anymore 
as I can somewhat remember them if I see it often enough. But like you said, the fastest way to learn a new word is probably to the write them down 
For vocab, I have 4 new words a day. Used to be less, I changed it when I got more familiar with language, and I might make it 6 after a while. (also, I'm focusing on building vocabulary now). For kanji, one a day and it's a mess anyway. Also, there's the option that forces you to write answers in some quizes and i use that where I can. In kanji I try to draw them, and that really helps me seeing the differences. I don't do new grammar lessons until I learn some more words, because I like learning grammar so much I neglected vocabulary and I'm trying to find a balance. As for wuiz size, max 20 questions per quiz, more is too much for me.
Also weaker words appearing more often, because there are words I keep misspelling.
I hope that makes sense and was at least a little helpful
Ohhh those are some great tips! Thanks for sharing them with me. I just found out about the type to fill in the answer function, but I have never thought about handwriting the kanjis into the answer box. What a brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing 
I go into review mode when I've learned a bunch of new terms. In other words, I hold back on adding/learning new terms until I have gotten at least 3 mastery in all my review terms. Then I'll learn a few more terms. Rinse, repeat. This keeps me from having a huge backlog of terms waiting to be reviewed, and I don't get overwhelmed or feel like I'm not keeping up.
I have customized when to review different mastery levels with a max review time of 90 days. I want to review terms at least once every few months... I think the default time is too long for me. If I wait 6 months to review a high mastery term, I may have totally forgotten it by then! 
Anyway, when most of my terms are at a mastery of 6-9, I'm not reviewing them super often, so I can set my reviews to 20-40 terms per day and still cover everything at least once every few months. Newer terms showing up in review every few days to a couple weeks, and older, more mastered terms on their time.
So basically, I'll learn 5-10 new terms, review them until they're all at 3+ mastery, then learn 5-10 more new terms.
Hope this strategy is somewhat helpful to someone.

Oh I see! Tysm for sharing! Btw, how do I access the settings in review mode?
This is only how I have set things up for myself. Do what works for you.
First, I go to the dropdown menu, click on the settings icon (gear icon), and select "quizzing". Then I customize how often I want to review terms at each mastery level (mastery level spacing, for me a max of 90 days).
Then I go to the settings icon for the lesson and select "more settings". (My schedule list might be a little different because I'm helping test the new server, but the current server should be close.) I select the max terms I want to learn in a day ("max new terms", usually 5-10), and the max terms I want to quiz on altogether ("study goal", usually 20-40). I also select to not learn new terms until I've completed review. That way, I can do review, and then choose if I want to go ahead and learn some new terms that day, or wait until another day.
On the dashboard, your view may look different than mine (testing new server), but it should have a place to select your study pace. I only use "custom" which uses the settings I set as seen above, or "review" which will not give you any new terms to learn. I use that setting for lessons I've totally completed and only have review for, or lessons I still have new terms to learn but know I won't try to learn more anytime soon because I'm too busy, if that makes sense. And if I'm super "I can't even do review" busy, I freeze my schedules so there won't be a pileup of terms for every day I don't study. It can really feel overwhelming when you go from having 25 terms ready to review to over 100 terms in that lesson after missing a few days! 
I hope this helps!
Oh, and here's how to check the mastery on your terms, if you don't know. On your dashboard, click on the name of the schedule you want to check. It will show you a graph of the number of terms at each mastery level. It shows the ones that aren't ready to review in green, and ones ready to review in red. You can also click on the mastery number for each column and it will show you all of the terms in that schedule at that mastery level.
I hope I'm not confusing you with too much information!
One of the great things about renshuu is how fully customizable it is. But I know how intimidating it can be to maneuver everything when you're not familiar with it. There's still a lot I'm figuring out, and I've been on almost every day for about 9 months!
Good luck! ぜひがんばってください!
Thank you so much for the detailed response! I’m not really sure how to reply to comments other than quoting. but hopefully you can see this response too! Yes, renshuu is amazing and I love how everything can be customized. Just have to learn how to do so effectively so thanking for sharing your tips and techniques with me はい！がんばりまーす。きょうもよいいちにちを~
