50 kanji per week? With that sort of load, I kind of doubt that much information will be retained beyond test day. At that rate, if you truly are memorizing them (as in long term memory), you would know them all within 10 months. Most Japanese language courses that I know of don't start with serious kanji learning until late second semester, early third semester.

I am curious though, what sort of text book are you using?
