Then you memorize a verse by typing it with every other word missing in the "Memorize It" mode. Finally, you master a verse in the "Master It" mode by typing the entire verse without any assistance. You can skip any step or repeat any step as many times as you would like. A verse is not checked off as fully memorized until it has been mastered. Once a verse is mastered, it will be entered into your review system.

9. How to Review Verses.
   1. Using the Automatic Review System.
      1. Explanation: Once you have mastered a verse, it will automatically be entered into your Scripture Typer review system. Scripture Typer will remind you to review each verse you have mastered. The number of times you have reviewed a verse by mastering it is the number of days until Scripture Typer will remind you to review a verse again. For example, if you have mastered a verse 2 times, you will be reminded to review the verse again in 2 days. However, only one successful "master" attempt will be counted each day, so only one day can be added to a review cycle per 24 hour period. This means you can review a verse as many times as needed in one day with only one day being added to your review cycle. This system is designed to encourage more frequent review right after memorizing a verse, and gradually less frequent review the more you have reviewed a verse. This also helps in memorizing larger quantities of Scripture, keeping Scripture memory sustainable long-term.
      2. Login to the Scripture Typerapp.
      3. Select the "Review" button.
      4. Verses highlighted in red are due for review.
      5. The number of days until a verse is due for review is in the far right column. A negative number of days means the verse is past due for review.
      6. You can select the "Start the Review" button at the top of the page, and it will guide you through reviewing all of your verses, OR you can simply select the verse you would like to review.
   2. Manually Reviewing Verses.

Then you memorize a verse by typing it with every other word missing in the "Memorize It" mode. Finally, you master a verse in the "Master It" mode by typing the entire verse without any assistance. You can skip any step or repeat any step as many times as you would like. A verse is not checked off as fully memorized until it has been mastered. Once a verse is mastered, it will be entered into your review system.

9. How to Review Verses.
   1. Using the Automatic Review System.
      1. Explanation: Once you have mastered a verse, it will automatically be entered into your Scripture Typer review system. Scripture Typer will remind you to review each verse you have mastered. The number of times you have reviewed a verse by mastering it is the number of days until Scripture Typer will remind you to review a verse again. For example, if you have mastered a verse 2 times, you will be reminded to review the verse again in 2 days. However, only one successful "master" attempt will be counted each day, so only one day can be added to a review cycle per 24 hour period. This means you can review a verse as many times as needed in one day with only one day being added to your review cycle. This system is designed to encourage more frequent review right after memorizing a verse, and gradually less frequent review the more you have reviewed a verse. This also helps in memorizing larger quantities of Scripture, keeping Scripture memory sustainable long-term.

      3. Select the "Review" button.
      4. Verses highlighted in red are due for review.
