Learning & Review
Understand the review queue, answer grades, and how Cardary schedules repetition.Cardary schedules cards with a spaced-repetition scheduler and a deck queue around the current learning day.
Queue states
- New: the card has not entered active learning.
- Learning: the card is in short learning steps.
- Review: the card has graduated to spaced review.
- Relearning: a missed review card is being strengthened again.
- Completed: the card is marked finished after the configured completion rule.
- Suspended: the card is excluded from normal study.
Answer grades
- Missed brings the card back sooner and increases lapse count.
- Hard keeps the next interval conservative.
- Good is the normal successful recall.
- Easy gives the strongest successful signal.
Some fast study flows reduce choices to correct or incorrect. In quick mode, a hard answer is treated like missed so the card returns sooner.
How the daily queue is built
The queue can include due reviews, learning cards, and a limited number of new cards. Review-first, new-first, and mixed ordering change how those lists are combined.
After an answer
The scheduler updates due time, interval, stability, difficulty, step, last review time, review count, lapse count, and last ease. If the next due time is beyond the learning-day cutoff, the card leaves today’s queue.
If you miss a day
Do not reset the deck. Resume with due reviews, reduce new cards if needed, and clear reviews before adding more material.
