Default Schedule
The default values on the Schedule form (Figure 11-2) are based on recommendations contained in How To Successfully Memorize & Review Scripture written by Ron Hood and published by the Spiritual Success Institute. This book is an excellent resource and is available directly from the author at www.ronhood.org.
If you choose to use the default review schedule, MyVerses will move your verse record from the Learn category to the Daily category when you indicate that you have committed the verse to memory. (This occurs when you tap the Commit button on the View form while the record is in the Learn list.) The record will remain in the Daily list until 45 daily reviews have been completed; then it will be moved to the Weekly list. After 7 weekly reviews, the record will be promoted to the Monthly list where it stays for an unlimited number of reviews.

Alternate Schedules
Although many people have had great success using the default review schedule, you can create your own customized schedule if you desire.
To customize the review schedule, tap on the up arrows and down arrows to change the number of reviews for each category. Use the down arrow to set the number of reviews to UNLIMITED by decrementing less than zero.
For example, suppose you want to review your verses daily for two months; then monthly thereafter. With this plan you would skip weekly reviews entirely by setting the number of weekly reviews to zero (Figure 11-3).
Another possibility might be to review the verses daily for seven weeks, then weekly for seven months, monthly for seven years, and quarterly thereafter. There are 49 days in seven weeks, 30 weeks in seven months, and 84 months in seven years (Figure 11-4).

Schedule Override
You can override the automatic scheduling feature built into MyVerses using the popup menu displayed in the upper right corner of the View form for all records in the Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Quarterly review lists (Figure 11-5).
Select a new category from the popup menu to move the record to that category (Figure 11-6).
A confirmation dialog is displayed to verify that you want to override automatic scheduling and move the verse to a new category (Figure 11-7).
This feature is handy, for example, when adding verses you know so well that you want to skip use of the Daily review list. It allows you to quickly move these verses to a less frequent review cycle, such as the Weekly or Monthly review list.
It is also useful when you discover you need to review a particular verse more frequently to keep it sharp. If for some reason a verse just isn't sticking in your mind, you might consider moving it back to the Daily review list and restart the review sequence for that particular verse.
