Read The Kanji also has a rather unique way of displaying your current progress. On our stats page, you can view a dashboard of your current progress, which is split between "words" and "kanji".
In the words section, you can see progress bar for each of the various decks we offer for study at Read The Kanji. Using colors we can measure not only how far into the deck you've studied, but also appromixately how strong you are at that deck. The colors underneath the progress bar on the left show how many words you have in that particular strength category (what's a strength color?). These colors also correspond to the color in the progress bar. Whitespace in the progress bar represents words not tested yet.
In the kanji section, you'll see a very similar layout, however these progress bars are slightly different. They refer to the strengths of individual kanji which are tracked as you go through the quiz. While words are confined to decks, the same kanji can appear within multiple decks, which is why we track them separately. This gives us the ability to track the kanji 行 whether you are studying the word 行く (a JLPT4 word), or if you're studying the word 実行 (a JLPT2 word). Keep in mind that while at the moment, the categories in this section are named the same as the Word Progress section, they are not necessarily related. This is because, for instance, a JLPT4 deck may in fact contain a JLPT3 level kanji (wait, why would a word contain kanji higher than its own level??)
This is a grid we use to display all the words in a particular deck mapped against your current progress. It's a great way to view exactly which words JLPT level, for instance), or change the order (lined up according to the Heisig kanji order, for example). The colors, as always, refer to that kanji's particular strength from previous testing. Also, you can click on any kanji to view all the details, readings, and example words in our database related to that kanji.
Here we lay out your progress against all the jou-you kanji. You can also organize this grid in different ways (by JLPT level, for instance), or change the order (lined up according to the Heisig kanji order, for example). The colors, as always, refer to that kanji's particular strength from previous testing. Also, you can click on any kanji to view all the details, readings, and example words in our database related to that kanji.
