What are Review Sets?

Review Sets are a tool that can be used to review NativShark content outside of pressing the "Study Now" button.

You can create and add to Review Sets as you do your normal studies by clicking on the "backpack" icon that can be found in things like lessons, flashcards, and dialogues.

Studying with a Review Set can be done at any time, and does not affect the other areas of your NativShark studies.

Review Sets are broken into Units that can contain lessons, dialogues, and flashcards, so they are built in the same way as core content is.

A review set can hold an unlimited number of Units. A Unit can be comprised of up to 4 'materials' which are either lessons or dialogues, and up to 15 flashcards*.

*This includes any mix of lesson sentences, vocabulary, kanji flashcards, and custom flashcards.

Making review sets

There are two ways to create a review set.

The simplest way is to do so during your normal studies when you press the "Study Now" button. Look for the backpack icon when you see something you would like to have in a review set.

This icon can be found at the top and bottom or each lesson, all example sentence in lessons, all review flashcards, at the bottom of every Dialogue, and next to each sentence of every Dialogue.

Here is an example of what it looks like with a lesson sentence:

Review Sets can also be created on the Review Sets page. This page can be found by going to My Library → Review Sets as well.

At the top of this page you'll see a button that says "Create Review Set". Click on that ^^

Editing Review Sets

Go to your Review Set page and click on the title of the review set you want to edit.

This will bring you to a menu with options to delete the entire review set, share the review set, and adjust where content is placed within the review set Units.

By default, anything added to a review set will be placed into the first unit it can fit into.*

*For example, if you have 3 Units and Unit 1 isn’t full of content, any new content you add to your review set during your studies will be placed starting at Unit 1 until it is full.

Studying with Review Sets

To study with a Review Set, make sure it’s Active*, and then press the Start button for which review set you want to study.

*If a Review Set is not active, you can check the bottom of the Review Set page’s “Inactive” section, check the box of the review set you want to activate, and then you should be able to edit or study with that review set.

Depending on how much content you have in a single Review Set, you can choose to study a single Unit or study all of them by pressing the “Start” or “Review” button.

If you only have enough content to fill a single unit, then you will be placed into reviews immediately.

Happy studies!

Sharing Review Sets

Review Sets can be shared via clicking on the paperclip button to the right of the “Start” or “Review" button on the Review Set page. If the Review Set is not already set to public, then it will be set to public and a link to share it will be copied to your clipboard.

From there, you can paste it to whoever you’d like to share it to

If you’d like to make your Review Set private again, that can be done in the options shown in the “Editing Review Sets” section above.
