Flashcard Modification Help

Read through the manual on flashcard setup and I'm still having quite a bit of problem.

1) In test settings I have it Display fields 'by rank' and in the Rank fields set up I have 3 settings with 3 different patterns of testing myself.

I want to be able to go through each of the patterns when I test myself, but I'm not sure how to do this. Maybe it's not possible? I'm not sure how I get myself to advance to the next 'rank'. Every time I run the flashcard list, it cycles through once whether I get them right or wrong, and it never uses the other rank settings I chose to further test me. The flashcard session just ends.


How do I get it to cycle to the next ranks so I go through the various testing phases?

Here are my settings:

In my Rank settings I have:

Number of ranks: 3
Advance to next rank after 1 correct 'in rank'. (Retreat, unchecked).
The other boxes are also unchecked. (I'm not sure what the flag setting does.)


In Card Settings I have:
Sort: Random
Limit Ranks 1 - 3 checked



2)
I'm not clear about the 'Flag ' settings. What does it do?

When I click on it it will give me 1) Flag 1, with set all and unset all option, but I do not know how to procede further. I'm not understanding exactly how to use this function.


Thank you for assistance.

I think the problem here is that you're not quite clear on "ranks". Ranks are used to categorize flashcards by how well you've memorized them; they apply to cards, not to the test session. So the rules you set up for ranks apply to the rank for each individual flashcard. To take advantage of ranks, either limit yourself to one or two ranks in Card Settings, or use the frequency adjust or repetition spacing options to increase the frequency with which lower-ranked cards appear.

The flags are a way of adding extra characteristics to flashcards - things like "will be on the next test" or "learned in Mrs. Walsh's class" or "know the Pinyin syllables but not the tones". They're not as useful as we'd like them to be, because we didn't get around to upgrading the "Edit Lists" screen for PlecoDict and hence there's no easy way to rapidly assign new flags to cards (you have to go into the 'Edit Card' screen, or assign them during a flashcard session by setting up the flags as your extra info field) but in theory you can base sessions off of flags by only reviewing words with a particular flag.
