Question on the review forecast

Hi all!

I have a small question on the review forecast. I am using the app on my phone: I access the review forecast by clicking “More stats” then scrolling down. I use this info to adjust the number of words I will learn, accounting for big waves of reviews coming up. This helps me avoiding waking up with an unmanageable number of reviews. It’s super useful!

But, I noticed that there is a gap with the real number of reviews I get the next day. For instance, the forecast would tell me I will have 75 reviews, but I wake up with 110.

Any reason why this might be? One potential cause is that I have adjusted the review intervals to my preference, I’m not sure if this affects the forecast.

Another related thing that surprises me is that the “Full history” table with all stats has a number of “correct” replies below the actual number of clozes I have completed. Eg, to take the example above, it says that I have completed 75 correct clozes, while I have started my day with 110 reviews and completed all of them.

Thanks for the great work!

According to my observations, the projected number of reviews for tomorrow is the number of clozes that will become ready for review on that day. This means that if you have a forecast of 100 reviews for tomorrow and you end today with a backlog of 50, you will have 150 reviews tomorrow.

Clear morbroper, thanks! I actually had a maximum number of reviews set to 100 which I didn’t notice. So I had a backlog unbeknownst to me. Now I cleaned my reviews and the forecast makes sense again.
