Quick question regarding the study modes.

Assuming I choose to study with the advanced study setting and I decide to only study definitions.

When I then go back to the regular study mode, have I then already "covered" these or does the advanced study mode not affect the regular mode?

Thanks!

The advanced study covers any reviews that are in the regular study mode, so they are connected, yep! It can filter out the reviews to specific parts to study or a specific list.

Is it possible to somehow disconnect advanced study from regular study? I would like to do an intense writting review without affecting my regular study. If that is not possible now, would you consider adding this option?

Bibi011, would the effect really be that big? If you write the same word many times during an Advanced Study cram session, the scheduling of the item in the regular study mode won't change very much. If Skritter thinks you should study the word in six weeks and you get it correct 5 times in an hour, those extra reviews will have little effect. If you get it wrong 5 times in an hour, you should be happy if your Advanced Study affects your regular study (by increasing the frequency of that word).

I really don't know what the effect would be. If it is truly negligible, than I guess all is well. I was worried that getting the word correct several times in a row (which would happen if you have prolonged intense session) would incorrectly marked that word learned and send it to the low frequency review list, although it would not yet be in my long term memory.
I guess the only way to find out is to test it. The only problem is that if this really happens I would mess up my learning algorithm in the regular study.

DependableSkeleton is correct; repeated correct reviews in close succession do little to the scheduling. There's a little more info here if you want to try to wrap your brain around it, although it's a bit complex: http://www.skritter.com/faq#scheduling
