EliExam – Mock Exams & Topic Analysis

Turn your own Anki decks into realistic mock exams – and see exactly which topics need more work.

Pick 40 questions from one deck and 60 from another, set a time limit and a pass mark, and answer a random mix. After you submit, EliExam breaks your score down along your own tag hierarchy, compares it with earlier attempts and turns your mistakes into practice with one click.

Build your exam

• Combine any number of decks and tags, each with its own question count
• Selection: random, weakness-focused, or previous mistakes only
• Filters: note type, skip new or suspended cards, one card per note
• Optional time limit and your own pass mark

Answer your way

• Multiple choice: click an option or use the keyboard – single- and multiple-answer questions
• Other card types: reveal the answer, then mark whether you knew it
• Exam mode shows the solutions after submission, practice mode gives feedback and explanations right away
• Shuffle answer options, flag questions and jump around via the question overview

Understand your results

• Topic tree built from your tags: score, question count, average time and change since earlier attempts
• Separate tabs for tag roots such as Subject::, LearningObjective::, Fach:: or Lernziel::
• Weakest and strongest topics plus your score history
• Review every question – filter by correct, incorrect, unanswered or flagged

Scores reflect the questions drawn in each attempt. Different samples, sources or modes affect comparisons, especially for topics with only a few questions.

Turn results into practice

• Retry mistakes: start a practice round with the incorrect and unanswered cards from this attempt
• Filtered decks for your mistakes or any single topic (rescheduling disabled)
• Open cards in Anki's Browser or add a tag to their notes
• Weakness exam: favors previous mistakes and cards you haven't tried yet
• Optional auto-tag EliExam::Aktuell::Falsch for incorrect and unanswered cards – replaced after each completed exam

Your scheduling stays untouched

Taking a mock exam never changes review intervals or due dates. The only exception is the optional Make mistakes due today action, which is off by default.

Results are stored locally for each Anki profile and do not sync through AnkiWeb. Reset progress clears exam history and weakness data – after saving a backup – and keeps your last exam setup. Cards, scheduling and tags stay as they are. Upgrading from an older version? You can import the old history into the right profile.

MCQ note types

Recognized automatically when a note type has:

• a question field (Question, Frage, Front …)
• at least two option fields named A to H
• an answer field (Answer, Antwort, Lösung …) with the correct letter(s), e.g. B or A, C

Optional: explanation fields (Explanation, Erläuterung, Erklärung, Extra), distractor explanations and references. Field names and analysis tag roots can be changed in the add-on config.

Tip: turn off option shuffling if your questions refer to letters or positions ("both A and C"). Explanations always keep their original letters.
