Description

Exam Simulator - NB

Exam Simulator - NB is an Anki add-on designed to turn MCQ-based note banks into a true exam-style simulation workflow inside Anki.

Built by Nasrellah Benammar, an Algerian medical student, this project was created with one clear goal: to help other medical students study more effectively and train in conditions that feel closer to real exams.

Instead of relying only on standard review mode, the add-on lets you build custom simulations, apply timing and scoring rules, sit the exam in a dedicated interface, and review your results in a structured way afterward.

Why I Built This

As a medical student, I wanted something better than passive review alone or the standard spaced repetition flashcards style.

I wanted a way to simulate exam conditions, test myself on selected MCQs, and review mistakes properly afterward.

This add-on is part of that effort, and I hope it can help other medical students do the same.

Important Note

This add-on is currently designed primarily for the MCQ-NB note type and expects the following field names:

  • Question
  • option_1 (A)
  • option_2 (B)
  • option_3 (C)
  • option_4 (D)
  • option_5 (E)
  • Ans
  • Source
  • Explanation

If you do not already have the MCQ-NB note type, you can download it through my other add-on, which parses MCQs and sets up the required note type: MCQ Parser add-on

Simulation History

Named simulations are stored locally in the current Anki profile.

  • It does not create normal Anki tags for simulation history
  • Deleting simulation history does not delete notes
  • Unnamed exams are not saved in simulation history

Privacy

This add-on stores its simulation history locally in your Anki profile.

It does not require any external account, server, or online service.
