studying a set in both directions ...

Postby manjade » Fri Mar 05, 2021 4:52 am

If I have a set of cards which I am learning in both directions, eg. side1: pic of dog, side2 "dog" -- and the side shown first is either 1 or 2 (random)
does the card have a value for each direction?
ie. if I always get side 1 correct when I see the word "dog" but always get side 2 wrong when I see the picture of the dog (as I can't remember the word), does the card have a value for 1→2 and another for 2→1 so that I learn the card more frequently in one direction than the other?

if you didn't turn on "Advanced Layout", then both directions are likely sharing the same "Statistics Set". In this case, the app doesn't keep track of which direction and progress and scheduling is applied to the card as if you always study a single direction.

If you want to keep progress separate, I recommend you turn on "Advanced Layout" in deck options. You can then enable both "1->2" and "2->1", and each direction will use its own set of statistics.

Tap "1->2" (for example) to get to the standard "deck options" screen.
