How long does it take to repeat 5 - 7k words? 
=)
With Cooljingleās āall typingā user script:
Longer than with Memriseās default multiple-choice/listen audio and M-C three options select tests 
What route do you take?
Do you rely on RECALLING (typing) or remembering, many hints and false positives?
I mean the Memrise default typing.
do you mean to actually repeat that many words, or to deal with the on-going spaced out repetition for that many learned words (which is where Iām at).
For me (and for the latter case) itās frequently enough, even on the Memrise mixed defaults, to not have time and focus to learn new onesā¦
to actually repeat
well, I take +/- a minute for a set of 10. 5k words would amount to 500 minutes, or 8h20ā¦

Holy ā¦
Right now learning the very large course and cant even go further cuz for repeat session so many words is waiting.
yeah, pace yourself, figure out how many to learn per day so you can keep up with the revision, too, else your learning will suffer
Yeah, a 500 words, takes me a tiring hour. Usually split it over a few days - better for the memory. If, letās say I have forgotten 50 words, I wonāt retain them when reviewing 500 at once. Better do 100 a day, get 10% words corrected and retain the ārelearnedā words.
The big big problem with the Memrise backlog queue seems to be, that you can just review the very old first, FIFO principle.
As far as I understand it, you always have to clear the backlog to review new words in 4/12h intervals.
The same will be true, if you review e.g 100 words, make errors in 10-20 words and those errors will be rescheduled in 4-12h intervals.
When you start reviewing your next 100 batch the same or next day, AFIU you will NOT see those (more important) words from previous error or recently learned new words of those 4-12h SR intervals, because you have not cleaned up the very old words from queue FIFO queue.
AnkiSRS supports many more options, like creating āfiltered decksā by overdueness, filtering words by re-learning (errors) steps and which words you want to focus on (<7days, >7days) so you can divide reviewing into different concepts:
- new words (learning steps, 1d reviews)
- error words (re-learning steps, 1d reviews)
- either <7 days backlog queue
- or >7 days backlog queue
- etc.
Please correct me if I am wrong about the Memrise review backlog queue concepts!!!
Does it mix and prioritize 4+12h intervals over the others???

I agree. FIFO is a logical system - it doesnāt make sense to review words that you have reviewed a second ago. However, there is also something like streak count and review interval. Being 1 day overdue on an item that has an interval of 180 days (I have a few words that say 'in 180 days!) is very different from 1 day overdue when the interval is 1 day.
So I think it should be a formula, something like: (overdue time)/(interval time). Now, if you have a few words that are 1 day overdue with an interval of 1 day and a few items that are 3 days overdue with a 2 day interval, the latter gets first. But if the latter had had an interval of 10 days, the first one gets first. Call it āweighted FIFOā.
