No! Just recognition testing. It means I test my recognition (Lojban ->
english) on 600 words. 

Since I've been through the whole set I 'know' them all. (More accurately
'am familiar').

Yes, recognition == (lobjan -> english)
     recollection == (english -> lojban)

The logflash I'm using just does gismu.

I think it's better to get the gismu well-learnt before going on to lujvo.

Just do it A/H. I've started using the textbook too (read chapter 1
twice). There's a lot of overlap between the textbook, reference grammar
and mini-lessons, but this is an excellent way of reinforcing stuff that
would be too boring to read twice.
