I think it would be better to split the DR for young and mature cards. Young cards are less stable, and I would prefer to use a lower DR for them. Meanwhile, mature cards are more stable and easier to review, so a higher DR would be better for them. I think a lot of users would not like to re-lea…

Hi, The younger card is, the more unstable it is. This is normal process. Remember the goal: you learn to know for long time = DR for mature cards have to be correct If you are unhappy with young DR and want to improve learning process I have for you 2 tips: go to FSRS version 6 and allow FSRS con…

Thank you for your reply and advice! What I meant is that cards still in the learning phase (i.e., young cards) and those already learned with mature intervals should have different DR values, in my opinion. If I simply increase the DR for all cards, it ends up giving me more reviews—most of which…

Alternatively, instead of manually setting two separate DR values for young and mature cards, I suggest configuring FSRS so that the DR increases over time as the card’s interval grows. In other words, the longer the interval becomes, the higher the DR should be. For example, DR could increase by …

Thank you for your reply! I didn’t find any discussion like this on the Anki Forum, so I thought I could publish the suggestion, since it’s not a duplicate. Could you please explain why it’s difficult to have different DR values for young and mature cards? As a user, I don’t really understand how …

[image] zZH2z: go to FSRS version 6 and allow FSRS control steps for learning and relearning cards See: [image] FSRS short term scheduling FSRS FSRS has no model for “short”-term (intraday, sub-1d) memory. No, it is not recommended that you leave your learning/relea…

But why is FSRS focused on DR instead of OI, Example logic explaining DR vs intervals vs ultimate goal of using Anki: Challenge: I have to pass exam in next 1 year To pass this exam I need 80% correct answers or more Solution: I need to have DR set to 80% or more to pass the exam Is there any n…

I appreciate the explanation, but I think you’re misunderstanding the core of my suggestion. I’m not confused about DR or my learning goals. My suggestion is a refinement of FSRS behavior to allow DR to scale with card maturity, because memory stability differs between young and mature cards. The …

Though not exactly what you requested for, Jarrett is developing a feature that will allow you to set different DRs for different decks having the same preset. Then, you can move your mature cards to a new deck and set a different DR for that deck. [image] Allow configuring DR for each deck in a …

Thank you for your reply! That’s great info. I’ll make sure to use the feature once it’s available.
