Notifies users when a card will reappear after a set exam date and lets them reschedule it for earlier review.
Plans exam study by setting daily new-card limits, bumping pre-exam reviews, cramming decks, zero-padding names, and managing exam targets.
Displays exam countdown banners in Anki's toolbar, with per-deck toggles, parent-deck inheritance, comparison modes, pre-flip warnings, and rescheduling tools.
Adjusts daily card counts to help users review all cards before an exam, with safer presets, previews, and rollback support.
Opens a port for AI/ML-driven review ordering, creating filtered decks that separate semantically similar cards to reduce daily reviews without hurting retention.
Automates alerts, answer reveals, or failures when reviews take too long, with per-deck settings, countdown, timers, hotkeys, and pause options.

Exam Notifier provides users with notifications that a card will appear after an upcoming exam date. This feature allows the user to determine how to answer the card (i.e. Again, Hard, Good, Easy) or determine if rescheduling the card is deemed necessary. For example, a user may struggle with a particular subject and despite their ability to answer the card correctly, that they would like to revist these cards on the days leading up to their exam.
Many of us use Anki to prepare for exams. Some of us use Anki to learn a language in preparation for a trip to another country. Exam Notifier will tell you which cards are set to reappear after your test date. For example, if my big exam is coming up in 27 days and the current card is set to reappear in 28 days, this addon will notify you of this fact and give you the option to reschedule that card to reappear sooner for further review(s).
