## Chapter 3. Configuration

| Preliminary remark
A program should execute a task in an “ideal” way. Configuration options soften this philosophy and make the life of the users and programmers harder. That is why there are only a few configuration options in Pauker.

Configuration options can be changed by selecting “Extra → Configure Pauker...”.

## 3.1. Strategies

There are many different approaches to learning (and forgetting) cards. If you have an exam coming up with only new vocabulary, you will want to learn the newest cards first. On the other hand, if you want to test your long-term memory, you will want to review the oldest cards first. The most varied order is obviously a random order.

If you forget cards, you can put them on top of the unlearned batch to try to learn them again quickly. This can be annoying, however, if you consistenly can not remember that the capital of Sri Lanka is Sri Jayawardhenepura. Pauker can be configured so that the forgotten cards are put at the bottom of the unlearned pile. However, with some smaller lessons, it becomes likely that you are actually just memorizing the order of the cards as they appear. To solve this problem, you can configure Pauker to put incorrect cards anywhere in the unlearned batch.
