On Memrise, you are generally tested on a word or phrase at least 6 times (assuming you make no mistakes) before it is considered fully learnt and is then moved to Review. However, easier items on official Memrise-created courses will only require 3 or 4 tests before they are considered as learnt, making your learning on Memrise even more efficient.
How does this feature work?
Our system predicts difficulty levels for individual items based on the accuracy scores of everyone that learned the course before you. If the average accuracy score for a word or phrase is sufficiently high, it will be classified as a potential 'easy' item. Generally speaking, we have 3 brackets, based on specific accuracy percentages:- Normal: you will be shown the item 6 times before it’s marked as ‘learned’
- Moderate: 4 times
- Easy: 3 times
Can I disable this?
Unfortunately there’s no way to disable this system or customise it, however if you wish you can always continue to practise individual items with Classic Review or any other review session (to do so, simply select any level and tap on the button with the 9-dot grid to start a session).
