1k Kanji

Well, I have hit the milestone of 1k Kanji. Nothing really big about it, other than in my head it is an amazing number. I never believed I would know the meaning and be capable of producing on demand one thousand Kanji characters. I finally have a methodology that will lead me further in my Japanese studies and from my current point of view, seems feasible. Thanks to Heisig's RtK, SRS and my cohort. Below are my Anki stats with respect to Kanji coverage:

The 1004 seen cards in this deck contain:
1004 total unique kanji.
Jouyou: 958 of 1945 (49.3%).
Jinmeiyou: 26 of 287 (9.1%).
20 non-jouyou kanji.

Jouyou levels:
Grade 1: 68 of 80 (85.0%).
Grade 2: 94 of 160 (58.8%).
Grade 3: 101 of 200 (50.5%).
Grade 4: 109 of 200 (54.5%).
Grade 5: 95 of 185 (51.4%).
Grade 6: 89 of 181 (49.2%).
JuniorHS: 402 of 939 (42.8%).
