Why You Can Finish Every Session and Still Not Be 100% Ready

14 October 2026 · 4 min read

You have studied 11 of the 12 sessions in a course. You open Flaevo and the course says 51% ready. It feels wrong. You did the work.

It is not a bug, and it is not telling you that you did nothing. It is telling you something different from "how much did I open", and that difference is the whole point of the number.

What Ready % measures

Ready % is how ready you are for the exam on that course. Opening a session does not make you ready for an exam. Remembering it does. So most of the figure comes from evidence that you remember, and only a little from how much you have covered.

It is built from three things.

Your review questions. The questions Flae asks you again in Smart Review and Daily 3.
Your last three quizzes on that course. The newest counts three times, the one before it twice, the oldest once.
How many sessions you have studied. This one only scales the other two.

The first two are averaged into how well you know the course. The third decides how much of that shows. With no sessions studied you see 40% of it. With every session studied you see all of it.

Why the last sessions add so little

Here is a course with 12 sessions where you know it about 54% well.

Sessions studied	Ready %	What changed
6 of 12 sessions	38%	Half the course is still unread
11 of 12 sessions	51%	Almost everything is read
12 of 12 sessions	54%	One more session, three more points

Going from half the course to nearly all of it is worth about 13 points. The very last session is worth three. Past that point, studying more sessions cannot move the number. Only knowing the material better can.

That is deliberate. Re-reading feels like progress and is not much of it, so a figure that rose every time you opened a page would be telling you something comfortable and untrue.

How a review question counts

Every review question sits on a ladder: 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, then 180 days. A new question starts on the bottom rung.

Get it right on the day it is due and it climbs one rung. It counts for more.
Get it wrong and it goes back to the bottom, and comes back tomorrow.
Let it come due and ignore it and it counts for half until you answer.

A question on the top rung is worth the most, and getting there takes at least about 55 days, because each rung has to be earned on its due day. That is just how spaced repetition works. Memory that lasts is built slowly, so the number cannot be rushed in a night.

A question you got right once is on the second rung of six, so it counts for a fifth. The figure rewards what has stayed in your head across days, not what you got right once.

What moves it

What you do	What it changes	How fast
Take a quiz on the course	Your newest score counts three times	Straight away
Answer a review question that is due	It climbs a rung, or stops counting half	Straight away
Come back over several days	Your questions climb the ladder	Weeks
Study the sessions you have not opened	Scales the whole figure up	Small once most are done

Notice the order. The quickest thing is a quiz, and it also shows you what you do not know yet. A bad score is not a setback. It is a list of what to review, and the figure will thank you for it later.

Flae

Two minutes of Daily 3 every day will do more for your Ready % than one long night. It goes up slowly, and that is what makes it true.

A few things worth knowing

A course with no quizzes and no review questions shows nothing. Not 0%, nothing. Take a quiz or answer its Daily 3 questions and it appears.
If you only have one of the two, quizzes or review questions, that one stands on its own.
It can go down. A question that comes due counts for half until you answer it, and a poor quiz becomes your newest result. Both recover.
Quizzes count when they are on that course. A quiz you took on a topic from a course counts towards that course.

You will also see each course's Ready % at the end of every Daily 3, so you can watch it move.

So what should you do at 51%

Do not open another session. Take a quiz on the course today, then answer whatever review questions are due. Come back tomorrow for your three. Within a week you will see the number climb, and this time it will mean you are ready, not that you have read a lot.

If you do not have a course in Flaevo yet, add one and study a session or two. Your first quiz is where the number starts.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my Ready % low when I have studied almost every session?

Because studying a session only counts for a small part of it. Ready % is mostly how well you remember the course: how you do on its review questions, and your last three quiz scores. Studied sessions only scale that figure, from 40% of it with none studied up to all of it with every session studied. Finishing the last session adds a few points, while remembering the material is worth far more.

How do I raise my Ready % quickly?

Take a quiz on the course. Your newest quiz score counts three times, so one good quiz moves the figure more than anything else. Then answer your review questions on the days they are due, because a question that is due counts for half until you answer it.

Why does my Ready % go down sometimes?

Two things can lower it. A review question that comes due counts for half until you answer it, so a course you leave alone slips. And a poor quiz score becomes your newest result, which counts three times. Both come back up when you answer the question or take another quiz.

Why does a course show no Ready % at all?

It has no evidence yet. A course with no quiz scores and no review questions shows nothing, because reading alone is not readiness. Take a quiz on it or answer its Daily 3 questions and the figure appears.
