I've never come across this problem, because I've usually made my own cards, but I downloaded someone else's deck which happens to have a 100 cards of completely new definitions for me.
I wanted to go through the whole thing (nothing kanji related just definitions and stuff, simple stuff to memorize), so I've been trying to figure out how to make it so that if I get 10 wrong or so, it would show me those 10 cards over again immediately, then once i get better at them, then they'd show me the next couple of cards until I get 10 wrong again, during which time Anki would intersperse the first 10 cards that I now got "right" in between the 10 wrong ones.
I realize I'm making this sound terribly complicated, but basically, I'm not looking for an exact science. I'm just a bit flabbergasted that I have a deck with 100 cards, all of which are completely new to me, but instead of stopping after i get the first 10 wrong, it will NEVER review, it will continue to go through the entire deck, all 100 of them. Then when I start over again, it will still just about never review the first 10, it will just continue to go through all 100 of them again, or it sure seems that way.
I just want to be able to adjust my pace accordingly.
Thank you, and I'm sorry for the lack of eloquence on my part.
