    I used Anki only for a brief period near the end, but I can't really praise it enough. It's great for anything that requires rote learning, languages and quick bursts of revision. I don't really know of other such tools, but I can't see them besting Anki at it's job :cool:

    i downloaded it but the only subject I could find that I'm doing was german and all the words were wrong! so I didn't have a good experience with it but if you can find your subjects in the list it might be good

    The whole point is to make your own deck! You could make one for anything really, it's just like doing out notes. The actual process of making them helps you learn, and then you use the app to gauge your recollection and understanding. I would only really recommend using another deck if note taking just doesn't do it for you, or it's a vocabulary list/list of things you just need to memorise.
