**The goal here is to review the flashcards you “Somewhat Know”, but this time, hopefully you will be confident enough in your understanding to mark them as “Know”.
Once you have re-read the “Somewhat Know” flashcards enough times that you have marked all of them as “Know”, repeat the process for the flashcards that you marked “Don’t Know”.
With enough review of these flashcards, you will be able to mark all of them as “Know” — and then you can move on to the next step.
