Hi all!
I have been using the flashcard feature in Plecodict V1 extensively but never got around to really familiarize myself with the system in V2. Now, that I have an examination coming up in January 2011, I read through all the documentation. Headache!
What I want is the 'koreth system'.
Quote 1:
>>I want a smooth progression of time between reviews, so I have a lot of ranks -- 13 -- and fairly aggressive movement: 2 correct in a row goes up a rank and 2 incorrect in a rank moves down 3 ranks. My spacing values are 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 15, 21, 30, 45, 68, 94, 141, and 211 days. By the time a card gets to rank 13 I only see it once or twice a year.<<
Quote 2:
>>One other thing I do that I think makes testing more effective: I vary what I'm being tested on as cards move up in rank. In rank 1 I'm shown the Pinyin and definition and have to write the word. In rank 2 I'm shown the characters and have to say the word and the definition. I alternate those except for ranks 6, 8, and 11, where I'm just shown the definition and have to write the characters and say the word.<<

The two quotes above outline the major points I want to achieve: 'repetition-spaced' and seeing a variety of different cards (head, definition, pronunciation) during one session.
First I thought that this shouldn't be to difficult to set up in V2. Just set repetition-spaced as the preferred testing method, adjust the scoring to match the desired aggressiveness (reading scores as ranks, a score of 100 equals 1 rank) and then adjust 'define score range' to 100, 200, 400, 700, 1100 ... (see second quote) and assign head, definition and pronunciation to it.
After a bit more thinking I figured that this doesn't work at all.
While koreth will see a change of what he is tested on after every second correct review in a row, I will soon get the cards shown for 4, 7, 11,... times before a change of what I am tested on occurs.
So this doesn't work at all. I am a bit disillusioned now and don't know how to proceed. Any ideas how to achieve my two major points?
